Anti-EGFR for left-sided, RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether anti-EGFR therapy works better for people with left-sided colorectal cancer that has spread, whose tumors do not have certain gene mutations (RAS wild-type). It is for those who have not yet had treatment for metastatic disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have colorectal cancer that has spread (metastatic) and cannot be removed by surgery.
- Your primary tumor is located on the left side of your colon.
- Your tumor does not have mutations in the KRAS or NRAS genes (RAS wild-type).
- You have not received any chemotherapy or targeted therapy for metastatic disease (prior treatments for early-stage cancer are allowed if finished at least 6 months ago).
- You are 18 or older, in generally good health (ECOG score 0-2), and have adequate organ function (kidney, liver, blood counts).

This trial tests a combination of two targeted drugs (cetuximab beta and fruquintinib) with or without an immunotherapy drug for people with a specific type of advanced colorectal cancer that has not been treated before. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for those whose tumors have certain genetic markers (RAS and BRAF wild type).
This trial tests whether adding a targeted drug (anti-EGFR) to chemotherapy helps people with right-sided advanced colorectal cancer whose tumors have certain gene markers. It may offer a more personalized treatment option.
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.
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.
This study compares two different combinations of chemotherapy plus a targeted therapy called cetuximab as a first treatment for a specific type of advanced colorectal cancer. The goal is to see which combination works better and has fewer side effects.
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).
