New study targets colorectal cancer in underrepresented minorities

NCT ID NCT06562543

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This phase 4 trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of the oral drug fruquintinib in 78 adults from minority groups (Black/African American and Hispanic/Latino) with advanced colorectal cancer that hasn't responded to other treatments. The main focus is on how often high blood pressure occurs as a side effect. Participants take fruquintinib in 4-week cycles until their disease worsens or side effects become too much.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
fruquintinib (Fruzaqla™)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that fruquintinib is safe and effective for minority patients with advanced colorectal cancer, helping to address gaps in treatment knowledge.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-arm study with no comparison group, so results may not be definitive. Hypertension is a known side effect, and the trial may not lead to new treatments.
