A Phase II Study to Assess the Activity of PD-L1 Inhibition With Durvalumab (MEDI4736) After Chemo-Radiotherapy in Patients With Stage II-IV Microsatellite Stable (MSS) Rectal Cancer
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating durvalumab for Rectal Cancer. Completed, enrolled 45 participants across 43 sites.
Detailed Summary
This study is being done to look at the safety and response to the investigational drug durvalumab (MEDI4736) following chemo-radiation therapy for patients with MSS stage II to IV rectal cancer. Durvalumab recognizes specific proteins on the surface of cancer cells and triggers the immune system to destroy the cancer cells. The chemoRT portion of the treatment will be completed just before the course of durvalumab is initiated. In order to learn more about certain characteristics of rectal cancer tumors, this study includes special research tests using samples from diagnostic tumors, a tissue sample from tumors removed during surgery, fresh tumor samples from an area where the cancer has recurred, and blood samples.
