New drug combo aims to wipe out lingering cancer cells after standard treatment

NCT ID NCT05343013

Summary

This study is testing whether the drug TAS-102, with or without the anti-inflammatory celecoxib, can clear tiny amounts of leftover cancer DNA from the blood of colorectal cancer patients. It's for people who have finished surgery and chemotherapy but still have detectable cancer DNA, suggesting a high risk of the cancer returning. The main goal is to see if 6 months of this treatment can eliminate this residual cancer signal and potentially prevent recurrence.
