Study of amivantamab plus FOLFIRI in colorectal cancer

Williamsville, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06662786RecruitingPhase 3
Amivantamab plus chemo vs. standard chemo for left-sided colorectal cancer
This trial compares a new combination (amivantamab plus chemotherapy) with the standard treatment (cetuximab plus chemotherapy) as the first therapy for people with left-sided colorectal cancer that has spread. The goal is to see which approach works better when the tumor has no mutations in the KRAS, NRAS, or BRAF genes.

Study of I-DXd for metastatic prostate cancer

Rivaroxaban to prevent clots in cancer patients with new catheters

What taking part in a cancer study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
