This trial is for adults with untreated stage I rectal cancer, T1–T2 N0 M0, microsatellite-stable and mismatch-repair-proficient. Patients must be suitable for standard treatment options.

The idea: botensilimab and balstilimab block immune brakes CTLA-4 and PD-1. Patients receive one 75-milligram botensilimab infusion and 240-milligram balstilimab infusions every two weeks for up to six months. Response determines further care. Selected responders may enter surveillance; near-complete responses require local excision confirming complete pathological response. Residual or progressing cancer receives standard care.

This phase 2 study plans 16 patients. Dana-Farber sponsors two recruiting sites in Boston.
