Clinical Trials for Colon Cancer

An Open-label, Phase I Study to Assess the Safety of Multiple Doses of CYAD-101, Administered After Standard FOLFOX or FOLFIRI Chemotherapy in Patients With Unresectable Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Active drug

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

High burden on patient

The trial has a high burden on patients. An example would be a phase 1 trial with extra tumor biopsies and frequent pharmacokinetic blood draws.

Started >3 years ago

The trial was activated more than 3 years ago. This is not always bad but can indicate that the trial has less current treatments, or has had trouble getting enough patients to enroll due to other issues.

HealthScout AI summary: Adults with unresectable metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma (post ≥1 prior systemic therapy, ECOG 0–1) received standard FOLFOX or FOLFIRI chemotherapy followed by CYAD-101, an investigational, allogeneic CAR T-cell therapy that targets NKG2D ligands and incorporates a TCR inhibitory peptide to reduce risk of GVHD.

Ablative Dose Single Fraction MRguided Colorectal Liver Metastasis SBRT

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: This trial enrolls adults with 1-3 measurable colorectal cancer liver metastases (with specific size/location criteria), ECOG 0-2, and no cirrhosis, including those with prior therapies or extrahepatic disease, to receive a single 40 Gy fraction of MR-guided, adaptive SBRT for local control.

Pilot Study Evaluating Microbiome Modulation Therapy (MBMT) With Ciprofloxacin, Metronidazole, and Aspirin in Addition to Standard of Care Chemotherapy in Patients Undergoing First-Line Therapy for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

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: Adults with newly diagnosed metastatic (stage IV) colorectal cancer eligible for first-line 5-fluorouracil-based doublet chemotherapy are randomized to standard chemotherapy with or without an investigational microbiome modulation therapy (MBMT) consisting of oral ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, and low-dose aspirin, aiming to assess whether altering the gut microbiome improves treatment response. Patients with recent antibiotic use, high bleeding risk, or MBMT drug allergies are excluded.

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06728072

A Randomized, Open-label Phase 3 Study of Amivantamab + FOLFIRI Versus Cetuximab/Bevacizumab + FOLFIRI in Participants With KRAS/NRAS and BRAF Wild-type Recurrent, Unresectable or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Who Have Received Prior Chemotherapy

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: This trial enrolls adults with recurrent, unresectable, or metastatic KRAS/NRAS/BRAF wild-type colorectal cancer who have progressed after prior fluoropyrimidine- and oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy, randomizing them to receive either amivantamab (a bispecific EGFR/MET antibody) plus FOLFIRI or standard of care FOLFIRI with either cetuximab or bevacizumab. Prior irinotecan, EGFR, MET, or HER2-targeted therapies are exclusionary.
