Study Summary

This trial is testing how well a 64Cu-labeled M5A antibody scan works in assessing tumor activity before and after chemotherapy and radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced rectal cancer that can be detected on scans and who are scheduled for chemotherapy, radiation, then surgery. They must have completed any previous treatments at least two weeks before the study starts and agree to use contraception. Pregnant women, those with allergies to similar drugs, uncontrolled illnesses or infections, or taking other experimental treatments cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a new imaging technique using a scan called 64Cu-labeled M5A antibody PET/CT to see how well it shows tumor activity in patients undergoing standard chemo and radiotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include allergic reactions related to the chemical composition of the 64Cu-M5A compound used in the investigational scan. Specific side effects are not detailed but would likely relate to this type of diagnostic agent.
