Immunotherapy boost tested in fight against rectal cancer

NCT ID NCT03921684

Summary

This study is testing whether adding an immunotherapy drug called nivolumab to the standard pre-surgery treatment (chemotherapy and radiation) works better for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this combination helps eliminate more of the cancer before surgery, potentially improving long-term outcomes. The study will also closely monitor side effects to ensure the treatment is safe.
