View the official record on ClinicalTrials.gov →What this trial is about
This study aims to explore the optimal number of cycles of PD-1 monotherapy required at minimum, under the premise of ensuring pathological complete response (pCR) among patients with dMMR/MSI-H rectal cancer. Participants will receive preoperative monotherapy with PD-1 antibodies, with regular reassessments every 2 cycles. Surgical intervention will be performed if clinical complete response (cCR) is achieved. Researchers will compare the pathological complete response rates, adverse reactions, and three-year event-free survival rates across different treatment cycles.
