Combining Camrelizumab with chemotherapy for left-sided obstructive colorectal cancer

Camrelizumab Combined With Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy After Stent Placement Versus Surgery Alone for Left-Sided Obstructive Colonic Cancer

Not applicable Interventional Beijing Chao Yang Hospital · NCT05202314

This study tests if combining a new immunotherapy drug with chemotherapy can help people with left-sided obstructive colorectal cancer live longer and have better surgery outcomes after getting a stent.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the use of Camrelizumab, an anti-PD-1 immunotherapy, in combination with neoadjuvant chemotherapy for patients with left-sided obstructive colorectal cancer who have undergone stent placement. The approach aims to improve overall survival by addressing micrometastasis and enhancing the success rate of primary anastomosis while reducing the risk of stoma formation. Patients will receive treatment after stenting, allowing for better bowel decompression before surgery. The study evaluates the effectiveness of this combined treatment in improving patient outcomes compared to traditional emergency surgery.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients with radiologically confirmed left-sided colonic obstruction due to carcinoma who are eligible for surgery.

Not a fit: Patients with distal rectal cancers, signs of peritonitis, or those with unresectable colorectal cancer will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve survival rates and quality of life for patients with obstructive colorectal cancer.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown that using self-expanding metallic stents as a bridge to surgery can improve outcomes, suggesting potential success for this novel combination approach.
