New treatment option for Locally Advanced Rectal Adenocarcinoma
Official title Papaverine in Combination With Radiation Therapy for the Treatment of Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer, DINOMITE Trial
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06834126
What this study is testing
What is Consolidation Therapy?
Consolidation Therapy is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for locally advanced rectal adenocarcinoma.
Also referred to as Consolidation, intensification therapy.
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
- This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of papaverine (PPV) when given together with radiation therapy (RT) and tests how well it works in treating patients with rectal cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced). PPV is an enzyme inhibitor, and it may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
