• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2026-10-30

Summary

This study is open to people with newly diagnosed colorectal cancer. People who are scheduled for surgery can participate. People either get a medicine called BI 765063 combined with ezabenlimab or combined with pembrolizumab in preparation of the upcoming surgery. The tested medicines in this study are antibodies that may help the immune system fight cancer.

The purpose of this study is to find out how well people with early colorectal cancer can tolerate treatment with these medicines. The study also looks at whether the tumor changes.

Participants are put into 2 groups. One group gets ezabenlimab and BI 765063. The other group gets pembrolizumab and BI 765063. All participants receive the study medicines as 2 subsequent infusions into a vein on a single day.

Participants are in the study for about 4 months. During this time, they visit the study site about 5 times. The doctors check the health of the participants and note any health problems that could have been caused by ezabenlimab, pembrolizumab, or BI 765063. The doctors also check whether these health problems lead to a delay of the planned surgery.
