First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a combination of the targeted drug cetuximab with a strong chemotherapy cocktail (FOLFIRINOX) as a first treatment for people whose colorectal cancer had spread and could not be removed by surgery. The goal was to see if this mix could shrink tumors better than standard care. The trial included 42 patients, and researchers measured how many had a complete response, side effects, and how long they lived.
