New drug combo aims to improve colorectal cancer treatment
NCT ID NCT07150403
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests whether a new drug called fruquintinib, combined with standard chemotherapy, can control advanced colorectal cancer better than the current standard treatment (bevacizumab plus chemotherapy). About 74 adults whose cancer has worsened after first-line therapy will be randomly assigned to one of the two combinations. The main goal is to see how many patients have their disease controlled at 4 months.
