Blood test guides next move against stubborn colon cancer
NCT ID NCT04920032
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is for people with colon cancer who still have signs of cancer in their blood (ctDNA positive) after surgery and standard chemotherapy. It tests whether switching to a combination of two drugs (trifluridine/tipiracil and irinotecan) can clear those remaining cancer cells. About 22 adults with stage II–IV colon cancer will take part. The goal is to see if this approach can control the disease, not cure it, as ongoing monitoring and treatment may be needed.
