Chemo and targeted therapy before surgery for recurrent colorectal cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (CapeOX), a targeted drug (bevacizumab), and an immunotherapy (anti-PD1) given before surgery for colorectal cancer that has come back locally (in the same area). The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve surgical outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had surgery for colorectal cancer before and it was completely removed.
- Your cancer came back in the same area (locally), not spread to other organs.
- You have not had any cancer treatment (chemo, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or radiation) in the last month.
- You are in reasonably good health (able to care for yourself) and your organs are working well.
- You have not had immunotherapy with drugs like anti-PD1 or anti-CTLA4 before.

This trial tests a combination of chemo, a medicine that blocks blood vessel growth, and an immune checkpoint drug given before rectal cancer surgery. It’s for people with locally advanced rectal cancer without distant spread, to try to shrink the tumor and improve surgical results.
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy, an immunotherapy drug (anti-PD-1 antibody), and sitagliptin before surgery for colorectal cancer that has not spread to other organs. The goal is to see if this approach can shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy followed by an immunotherapy drug (a checkpoint inhibitor) before surgery helps shrink locally advanced colon cancer. It is for people with a specific tumor type (MSS and RAS mutation) who have not had prior treatment.
This Phase 3 study compares two schedules of a colon cancer chemo combination: starting before surgery or starting after surgery. It aims to see which timing helps people live longer and lowers cancer coming back.
This Phase 2 trial studies giving chemotherapy plus immune therapy before surgery for certain colon cancers that do not have mismatch repair defects (MSS/pMMR). The goal is to shrink and control the tumor and improve outcomes compared with standard approaches.
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).
