New drug duo aims to shrink tumors before colon cancer surgery

NCT ID NCT05706779

Summary

This study is testing whether giving two targeted cancer drugs—encorafenib and cetuximab—before surgery can shrink tumors in patients with a specific genetic mutation (BRAF V600E) in their localized colon or upper rectal cancer. The goal is to see if this 'neoadjuvant' treatment leads to significant tumor regression. The trial aims to enroll 30 eligible patients to assess this approach.
