Turmeric compound tested against tough colon cancer
NCT ID NCT02724202
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage study tested whether adding curcumin (a compound in turmeric) to standard chemotherapy could help patients with metastatic colon cancer that no longer responds to 5FU. The goal was to check safety and see if the combination shrinks tumors. Only 15 people were enrolled, and the study was stopped early, so results are limited.
