Clichy, CedexAges 18 years+ - NCT07012954RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
ctDNA-guided treatment for RAS/BRAF wild-type colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—cetuximab or bevacizumab plus a chemotherapy pill (trifluridine/tipiracil)—for people with metastatic colorectal cancer that has no RAS or BRAF mutations. It's for patients whose cancer grew after first responding to cetuximab, and who have had other treatments since then.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06321081RecruitingPhase 2
Rechallenge combo for metastatic colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (cetuximab, irinotecan, and envafolimab) as a ‘rechallenge’ – meaning if you had good results with cetuximab or irinotecan before, trying them again with a new drug might help shrink or control your cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07724223RecruitingPhase 2
Combination targeted therapy for advanced colorectal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (fruquintinib and a drug that targets EGFR) as a third-line treatment for people with a specific type of colorectal cancer that has not responded to previous therapies. It may offer a new option for patients whose tumors are 'wild-type' for certain genes.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05705492RecruitingPhase 2
Olanzapine to help cancer-related weight and appetite loss
This Phase 2 trial tests whether olanzapine can help people with advanced cancer who are losing weight and not eating enough. It looks for improvements in appetite and weight while you receive your first-line palliative cancer treatment.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT03303495RecruitingPhase 3
Second-line chemo with or without bevacizumab for colon cancer
This Phase 3 study compares two treatment plans for people with metastatic colorectal cancer that got worse or caused side effects after first chemotherapy. It looks at whether adding bevacizumab (a medicine that targets blood vessels feeding tumors) improves outcomes versus using a different chemotherapy approach.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT04547166RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New targeted immune drug plus bevacizumab and chemo for colon cancer
This trial studies serplulimab (an immune-related drug) together with bevacizumab and chemotherapy to treat metastatic colorectal (colon) cancer that cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to see whether this combination improves outcomes and is safe.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT04701476RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab for advanced colorectal or lung cancer
This study tests pembrolizumab (an immune system medicine) with another treatment (TATE) in people with advanced colorectal or lung cancer that is not driven by certain gene changes. It may help shrink tumors after standard chemotherapy has stopped working.
