PM8002 plus chemo for untreated metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new combination therapy (PM8002 plus chemotherapy) for people with metastatic colorectal cancer who have not had prior treatment. It may be an option if your cancer is not MSI-H/dMMR and you are in good overall health.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03349762Recruiting
Huaier granules to help prevent colorectal cancer coming back
This study tests whether Huaier granules after surgery can lower the chance that colorectal cancer returns or spreads. It is for people who have recently had “radical” (complete) surgery for certain stages of colorectal cancer and are within about 2 months of that surgery.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18–75 - NCT05168839RecruitingPhase 3
Using dye scans during surgery to help prevent leakage
This trial tests whether using a special dye and camera during colorectal cancer surgery can help lower the risk of a surgical “leak” where the bowel is joined. If you’re having a planned left-sided colectomy or high rectal resection, the scan may help surgeons see blood flow more clearly.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06148402RecruitingPhase 2
A new combination therapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a new combination of three drugs (fruquintinib, camrelizumab, and capecitabine) for people with colorectal cancer that has spread or cannot be removed and has stopped responding to a standard first chemotherapy. It is for those whose cancer progressed after a specific first treatment called FOLFOXIRI.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06547203RecruitingPhase 2
Cetuximab, irinotecan, and toripalimab for right-sided colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (cetuximab, irinotecan, and toripalimab) for people with advanced right-sided colon cancer that does not have certain gene mutations. It's for those whose cancer has gotten worse after standard treatments.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06563986RecruitingPhase 2
Combination therapy for advanced colorectal cancer in the liver
This trial tests a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (FTD and tipiracil), a targeted therapy (bevacizumab), and a radiation treatment (radioembolization) for people with colorectal cancer that has spread mainly to the liver and hasn't responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and help control the cancer.
