New drug plus standard chemo for spread colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new drug called SAR445877 combined with two standard chemotherapies (FOLFOX and bevacizumab) as an initial treatment for people whose colorectal cancer has spread and is microsatellite stable (MSS). It aims to see if adding this drug works better than standard therapy alone.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07504523RecruitingPhase 1
Personalized T-cell therapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a custom-made T-cell treatment designed to target unique markers on your tumor. It's for people with advanced colorectal cancer who have run out of standard options or can't take them, and it aims to shrink tumors and improve survival.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–70 - NCT07536113Recruiting
Blood Test to Guide Second Colorectal Cancer Treatment
This study looks at whether a simple blood test can help doctors decide if you should receive a specific type of cancer drug again. The blood test looks for cancer DNA to predict if the drug will work for your advanced colorectal cancer.
Milan, ItaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07562659RecruitingPhase 2
Blood Test to Guide Chemotherapy After Colon Cancer Surgery
This study helps doctors decide whether you need chemotherapy after colon cancer surgery by checking for cancer DNA in your blood. The goal is to give chemotherapy only to patients who truly need it, based on what the blood test shows.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT07644286RecruitingPhase 2
Pirfenidone and immunotherapy with optional radiation for advanced colorectal cancer
This study tests a combination of three treatments—pirfenidone (an anti-scarring drug), a PD-1 inhibitor (an immunotherapy that helps your immune system fight cancer), and sometimes radiation—for colorectal cancer that has stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can slow or shrink your cancer.
