Colon chemotherapy for colorectal cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests putting a chemo drug (fluorouracil) directly into the colon through a tube. It's for people with colorectal cancer who are already getting other cancer treatment, to see if adding local chemo helps shrink the main tumor.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer that can be measured on a scan.

This trial tests a new combination of two immunotherapy drugs (iparomlimab and tuvonralimab) with standard chemotherapy and a targeted therapy (cetuximab) as the first treatment for colorectal cancer that has come back or spread. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors and help patients live longer.
This trial tests a combination of liposomal irinotecan, two chemotherapy drugs (leucovorin and 5-fluorouracil), and bevacizumab as a second-line treatment for people with colorectal cancer that has spread and cannot be removed by surgery.
This trial tests two chemotherapy drugs, capecitabine alone or with oxaliplatin, in people aged 70 or older after surgery for stage III colorectal cancer. The goal is to find out which treatment works better to prevent cancer from coming back.
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.
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy directly into the liver after surgery can lower the chance of cancer coming back. It is for people who had multiple liver tumors removed and whose cancer did not grow during pre-surgery chemo.
This trial tests a combination of three chemotherapy drugs (nanoliposomal irinotecan, oxaliplatin, and capecitabine) given before surgery to shrink locally advanced colorectal cancer that cannot be treated with radiation. The goal is to make the tumor removable with a better chance of complete removal (R0 resection).
