First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 23 times

Summary

This study tests a new way of using targeted drugs (panitumumab or cetuximab) to better control metastatic colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. About 34 people with left-sided tumors will receive these drugs early in their treatment, with the goal of keeping the disease from growing for as long as possible. Participants will be followed for up to 5 years to see how well the strategy works.
