New hope for tough-to-treat colon cancer patients after standard drugs fail

NCT ID NCT01715441

Summary

This study tested whether adding the drug sorafenib to irinotecan chemotherapy works better than either drug alone for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has a specific genetic change (KRAS mutation) and has stopped responding to all standard treatments. It involved 173 participants and measured whether the combination could better control tumor growth, improve survival, and maintain quality of life compared to single-drug therapy.
