Recruiting at 10 sites Phase 2 Rectal Adenocarcinoma

Rectal Adenocarcinoma study: TSR-042 or Dostarlimab vs Capecitabine or

Official title Study of Induction PD-1 Blockade in Subjects With Locally Advanced Mismatch Repair Deficient Solid Tumors

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04165772

What this study is testing

What is TSR-042 (Dostarlimab)?

This is an investigational medicine being studied as a potential treatment for rectal adenocarcinoma. It is designed to help the body's immune system recognize and attack cancer cells.

Also referred to as Dostarlimab.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The study aims to see if TSR‑042, followed by standard chemo‑radiation and surgery, is effective and safe for advanced dMMR solid tumors.
Who it's for
Adults with locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma that is mismatch‑repair deficient.
What's involved
Participants receive the study drug, then standard chemotherapy (capecitabine) plus radiation, and later surgery. They will have regular visits and medical tests to monitor progress and safety.
