After-surgery chemo plus targeted therapy for colon cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This Phase 3 trial studies whether adding targeted therapy to standard chemotherapy after surgery helps people with stage T3-4, N2 colon cancer live longer or have fewer cancer returns. You would be assigned to receive chemotherapy with targeted therapy or chemotherapy alone, based on the study plan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 to 75 years old, and able to join as either sex
- Have colon cancer adenocarcinoma that was proven on pathology, stage T3-4 and N2, after surgery
- Be well enough for treatment (ECOG 0–2 or ASA grade less than 4)
- Be able to understand the study and sign consent
- No history of other cancers (except certain very limited past cancers, if the study allows)
- Not be pregnant or breastfeeding

This Phase 3 trial tests whether an added “maintenance” treatment after liver surgery can help prevent colorectal cancer from coming back. It is only for people whose blood test (ctDNA) still shows signs of cancer after their operation.
This trial studies whether adding chemotherapy after surgery helps people with colon cancer that was diagnosed before surgery as stage III and later found to be without certain high-risk features. It may help lower the chance the cancer comes back, but you must meet specific surgery and health criteria.
This trial checks whether giving chemotherapy after surgery only for people whose blood test (ctDNA) shows no remaining cancer can help prevent the cancer from coming back. It is for people with colon cancer that has spread to the liver who had the tumor fully removed.
This trial tests whether adding two targeted drugs (serplulimab and bevacizumab) to standard chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. It is for those whose cancer has certain genetic features and is considered resectable.
This study tests whether a special blood test (looking for cancer DNA) can help doctors decide if you need chemotherapy after colorectal cancer surgery. The goal is to avoid unnecessary chemotherapy while making sure patients who need it get treated.
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (liposomal irinotecan, 5-FU/LV, and bevacizumab) for people with advanced colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective in shrinking tumors and improving outcomes.
