New hope for tough colorectal cancer: drug trial uses ultrasound to predict success

NCT ID NCT04355156

First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tested a drug called axitinib against a placebo in 52 people with advanced colorectal cancer that had spread to the liver and stopped responding to chemotherapy. The goal was to see if axitinib could help patients live longer and to test a new ultrasound method that measures blood flow to tumors to predict who might benefit. The trial is complete, and results will show whether this approach improves survival.
