Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT05959356RecruitingPhase 2
First-line treatment for left-sided metastatic colon cancer with specific tumor markers
This Phase 2 trial tests a combination of medicines (cetuximab, envafolimab, and chemotherapy) as the first treatment for certain left-sided metastatic colorectal cancers. It may help by slowing or shrinking the cancer in people whose tumor has no RAS/BRAF mutations and is microsatellite-stable (MSS).
Foshan, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05962502RecruitingPhase 2
Cetuximab plus irinotecan for left-sided RAS/BRAF wild-type colon cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding cetuximab to irinotecan can control metastatic colorectal cancer that has returned or worsened after standard treatments. It targets people whose tumor is left-sided and shows “wild-type” RAS and BRAF genes on blood testing after prior therapy.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT05991102Recruiting
Radiofrequency treatment with Lonsurf and Avastin for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests if adding a special radiofrequency treatment to the drugs Lonsurf (TAS-102) and Avastin (bevacizumab) can help people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver and has not responded to previous treatments. It is for patients with limited options who have already tried at least two standard chemotherapy regimens.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT06052332Recruiting
Comparing two pre-surgery treatments for older adults with rectal cancer
This study compares two approaches to treating rectal cancer in people age 70 and older who have not yet had surgery. One approach gives chemotherapy and radiation before surgery, and the other adds more chemotherapy after radiation. The goal is to find which plan works better with fewer side effects.
Antwerp, AntwerpenAges 70 years+ - NCT06118762RecruitingPhase 4
Study of fruquintinib plus raltitrexed for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests two drugs, fruquintinib and raltitrexed, for people with metastatic colorectal cancer that has stopped responding to or is no longer tolerable after standard treatments like fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan. The goal is to see if this combination can help shrink or control the cancer.
