Dostarlimab before Chemoradiotherapy and Surgery for the Treatment of Locally Advanced Mismatch Repair Deficiency or Microsatellite Instability Solid Tumors

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial studies how well dostarlimab (TSR-042) before standard chemoradiotherapy and surgery works in treating patients with mismatch repair deficiency or microsatellite instability solid tumors that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced). Dostarlimab is a type of medication called an antibody, which is a protein made by the immune system to protect the body from harm. Dostarlimab blocks another protein (programmed cell death receptor-1, or PD-1) that usually acts as a “brake” on the immune system. Blocking this protein is like releasing the brakes, so that the immune system can target tumor cells and kill them.
