New combo therapy aims to shrink rectal tumors before surgery

NCT ID NCT06770270

Summary

This study is testing whether adding a new immunotherapy drug called pucotenlimab 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 more patients achieve a complete response, meaning no detectable cancer cells remain, before they undergo surgery. Researchers will enroll 68 adults to assess the safety and effectiveness of this approach.
