Short radiation plus combo therapy for advanced rectal cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a short course of radiation therapy followed by a combination of three drugs (fruquintinib, adebrelimab, and CAPOX chemotherapy) before surgery for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- Your tumor is within 10 cm of the anal opening (measured by MRI).
- You have not had any prior treatment for rectal cancer (surgery, chemo, radiation, etc.).

This trial tests a new combination for rectal cancer that hasn't spread far: a short course of radiation followed by two drugs (AK112 and CAPOX). The goal is to shrink the tumor before surgery and possibly avoid more aggressive treatments.
This trial tests a new combination of treatments before surgery for locally advanced rectal cancer. You would receive short-course radiation, then an immunotherapy drug (camrelizumab) plus a PARP inhibitor (fluzoparib) and chemotherapy, to shrink the tumor and make surgery more successful.
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (cadonilimab, fruquintinib) plus targeted radiation (SBRT) for people with advanced MSS colorectal cancer who have already tried several standard treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink tumors or slow disease progression.
This trial studies whether giving focused radiation (SBRT) together with fruquintinib and immune drugs (PD-1/CTLA-4) can control advanced, hard-to-remove colorectal cancer. It is for people whose cancer has grown despite standard first- and second-line chemotherapy.
This trial tests a new combination of short-course radiation, a targeted therapy called fruquintinib, and an immunotherapy (PD-1 antibody) as a treatment before surgery for certain types of rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
This trial tests a combination of short-course radiation, chemotherapy (capecitabine), and two immunotherapy drugs (PD-1 and CTLA-4 inhibitors) for people with early-stage rectal cancer who want to avoid surgery and keep their anus. The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink the tumor enough to avoid major surgery.
