Summary

This expanded access program offers fruquintinib, a targeted cancer drug, to adults with metastatic colorectal cancer that has worsened after all standard treatments. Participants take the drug as a capsule daily for three weeks, then one week off. The goal is to provide access until the drug is commercially available or no longer helps.
