Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing a combination of three drugs (liposomal irinotecan, capecitabine, and enlonstobart) plus a short course of radiation before surgery for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can completely eliminate the tumor before surgery. The study plans to enroll 30 adults aged 18-75 with stage cT3-4 or node-positive rectal cancer.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
liposomal irinotecan, capecitabine, and enlonstobart (a type of immunotherapy) plus short-course radiotherapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could shrink or eliminate rectal tumors before surgery, potentially improving survival and reducing the need for more aggressive treatments.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study with only 30 participants and no comparison group. The combination may cause significant side effects, and results may not apply to all patients.

The patients had good compliance, understood the research process of this study, and signed the written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. patients with other malignant tumors (except cured carcinoma in situ and basal cell carcinoma) in the past 5 years; 2. patients with mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR) or microsatellite instability high (MSI-H); 3. obvious clinical bleeding symptoms or obvious bleeding tendency within 3 months before treatment (bleeding \> 30 mL within 3 months, hematemesis, melena, hematochezia), hemoptysis (fresh blood \> 5 mL within 4 weeks), etc. Or treatment for a venous/venous thrombotic event within the previous 6 months, such as cerebrovascular accident (including transient ischemic attack, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction), deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism; Long-term anticoagulation with warfarin or heparin or long-term antiplatelet therapy (aspirin ≥300 mg/ day or clopidogrel ≥75 mg/ day) may be required. 4. extensive distant metastasis (e.g., peritoneal metastasis, multiple bone/brain metastases); 5. patients who had used potent CYP3A4 inducers at the same time within 3 weeks before the first dose, or had used potent CYP3A4 inhibitors or potent UGT1A1 inhibitors within 3 weeks before the first dose; 6. patients who underwent major organ surgery (excluding needle biopsy, central venous catheterization, port catheterization, stent placement to relieve biliary obstruction, percutaneous hepatobiliary drainage, cholecystostomy) or elective surgery within 4 weeks before treatment; 7. tumor invasion of large vascular structures, such as pulmonary artery, superior vena cava or inferior vena cava, and there is a high risk of bleeding according to the investigator's judgment; 8.
