Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a new drug called denikitug, alone or combined with other treatments, in 170 people with advanced microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancer. MSS colorectal cancer is a common type that often does not respond to standard immunotherapy. The study aims to see if denikitug can shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
