Phase II Open-Label Multi-Cohort Study Evaluating CPI-613 (Devimistat) in Combination With Hydroxychloroquine and 5-fluorouracil or Gemcitabine in Patients With Advanced Chemorefractory Colorectal, Pancreatic, or Other Solid Cancers

Investigational drug late phase

The trial is testing an investigational drug and is at least phase 2, suggesting that the drug has shown promise in phase 1 studies and might have a high chance of working well compared to other investigational drugs.

Active drug

Investigational drug(s) in this trial have shown anticancer activity in clinical trials

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

HealthScout AI summary: Enrolling adults with advanced or metastatic colorectal, pancreatic, biliary, gastroesophageal, urothelial, ovarian, or non-small cell lung adenocarcinomas refractory to standard chemotherapy, this study combines the mitochondrial metabolism inhibitor devimistat (CPI-613) with hydroxychloroquine and either 5-FU or gemcitabine depending on tumor type. Eligible patients must have measurable disease and good performance status (ECOG 0-1, some 2 with approval).
