ClinConnect Summary
The HEM1036 Phase 2 Study is a clinical trial aimed at testing a new treatment for Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS), a condition that can occur after surgery for rectal cancer. This study will compare HEM1036 to a placebo (a substance with no active treatment) to see how effective and safe it is for people with LARS. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it is looking for men and women between the ages of 18 and 75 who have had surgery for rectal cancer and are experiencing significant symptoms of LARS.
To be eligible for this study, participants must have completed their cancer treatment at least six months before joining the trial and have a LARS score above 20, indicating they are experiencing considerable difficulties. Participants will need to visit the study site for check-ups and will be monitored throughout the study. Importantly, those with certain medical histories, such as previous major surgeries or current treatments that could interfere with the study, may not be eligible. This trial represents an opportunity to potentially benefit from a new treatment while contributing to research that could help others with similar conditions in the future.
