ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07458529

What this study is testing

What is CRT+PD-1 inhibitor+Probio-M9?

CRT+PD-1 inhibitor+Probio-M9 is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for rectal cancer, adenocarcinoma.

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 prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial aims to assessing the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant chemoradiation plus Tislelizumab (PD-1 inhibitor) with or without Probio-M9 and subsequent TME surgery, by comparing assorted endpoints between two experiment groups (Experiment group 1: chemoradiation+PD-1 inhibitor+Probio-M9; Experiment group 2: chemoradiation+PD-1 inhibitor+placebo) with a control group (chemoradiation only).
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance.
