First seen Apr 21, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a new approach for people with colon cancer that shows signs of remaining after surgery and standard chemotherapy. Using a blood test that detects tiny bits of tumor DNA (ctDNA), doctors will switch patients to a combination of two drugs (TAS-102 and irinotecan) to try to eliminate the leftover cancer. The goal is to see if this ctDNA-guided change in treatment can clear the cancer and prevent it from coming back. About 22 adults with stage II-IV colon cancer will take part.
