Clinical Trials for Rectal Cancer

A Phase II, Multicentre, Open-label, Master Protocol to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Datopotamab Deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) as Monotherapy and in Combination With Anticancer Agents in Patients With Advanced/Metastatic Solid Tumours

Investigational drug late phase

The trial is testing an investigational drug and is at least phase 2, suggesting that the drug has shown promise in phase 1 studies and might have a high chance of working well compared to other investigational drugs.

Active drug

Investigational drug(s) in this trial have shown anticancer activity in clinical trials

High burden on patient

The trial has a high burden on patients. An example would be a phase 1 trial with extra tumor biopsies and frequent pharmacokinetic blood draws.

Started >3 years ago

The trial was activated more than 3 years ago. This is not always bad but can indicate that the trial has less current treatments, or has had trouble getting enough patients to enroll due to other issues.

TrialFetch AI summary: Adults with advanced/metastatic solid tumors (endometrial, gastric, mCRPC, ovarian, colorectal, urothelial, biliary) receive datopotamab deruxtecan (anti‑TROP2 antibody–drug conjugate delivering a topoisomerase I inhibitor) as monotherapy or combined with agents such as capecitabine/5‑FU, bevacizumab ± platinum, prednisone (mCRPC), platinum in urothelial cancer, or bispecific PD‑1/CTLA‑4 (volrustomig) or PD‑1/TIGIT (rilvegostomig) immunotherapies. Key exclusions include active/untreated CNS disease, prior TROP2- or deruxtecan-based ADCs, significant ILD/pneumonitis history, and uncontrolled infections/comorbidities.
