Combination therapy for advanced rectal cancer before surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new drug called SHR-1701 combined with standard chemotherapy and radiation for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor before surgery, making it easier to remove completely.

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 whether adding two immunotherapy drugs (adebrelimab and SHR-8068) to standard chemoradiation before surgery can improve outcomes for adults with locally advanced rectal cancer that can be surgically removed.
This trial studies whether adding SHR-1701 to standard chemotherapy and long-course radiation can improve treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer that can be removed by surgery. It’s mainly for people who have not had prior rectal cancer treatment and who fit several health and cancer-spread requirements.
This trial tests whether combining radiation and chemotherapy with two immunotherapy drugs can better treat locally advanced rectal cancer (no spread to distant organs). It may shrink the tumor before surgery, and if you are enrolled, you will receive this combination as part of the study.
This trial tests giving treatment before surgery for stage II or III colorectal cancer that has not spread. It aims to see if this approach can improve outcomes for patients who have not had prior cancer therapy.
This trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs and chemotherapy given before surgery for a type of rectal cancer that has a specific genetic marker (MSI-H/dMMR). The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve the chances of successful surgery.
