Short-Course Radiotherapy Combined with Intracavitary Brachytherapy Followed by Pucotenlimab, Bevacizumab, Oxaliplatin, and Trifluridine/Tipiracil (TAS-102) for Total Neoadjuvant Therapy of Microsatellite Stable (MSS) Locally Advanced Low Rectal Cancer

ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is exploring a new treatment approach for patients with locally advanced low rectal cancer. The study aims to see how effective a combination of short-term radiation therapy and several medications—including Pucotenlimab, Bevacizumab, Oxaliplatin, and Trifluridine/Tipiracil—can be in shrinking the tumor and preserving the rectum before surgery. Researchers will look closely at how well the treatment works and monitor the patients' overall health and quality of life.
To participate in the trial, patients must be at least 18 years old, have a specific type of rectal cancer that is less than 5 cm from the anus, and meet some health criteria to ensure they can safely undergo the treatment. Participants can expect regular monitoring throughout the study, and they'll be contributing to important research that could help improve treatment options for others in the future. It's important to note that this trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it could be a valuable opportunity for eligible patients once it begins.
