Testing a new drug duo for Tough-to-Treat colon cancer

NCT ID NCT00989469

Summary

This study tested whether adding the drug sorafenib to standard chemotherapy (irinotecan) could help control advanced colorectal cancer that had stopped responding to prior treatments. It involved 64 patients whose cancer had a specific genetic change (K-RAS mutation) and had spread. The main goals were to see if the combination could stop the cancer from growing and to check how safe it was for patients.
