NCT ID NCT04749108

First seen Nov 17, 2025 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This study aims to personalize treatment for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. After a short course of chemotherapy, an MRI will identify those who respond very well. These good responders will then be randomly assigned to either immediate surgery or additional chemoradiation before surgery, to see which approach offers better cancer control and quality of life. The trial enrolls 1075 adults and is currently recruiting.
