New drug cocktail aims to tackle Hard-to-Treat colorectal cancer
NCT ID NCT06558773
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests whether adding eliglustat (a GSL synthetase inhibitor) to standard treatments can help shrink tumors or slow cancer growth in people with advanced colorectal cancer that has not responded to at least two prior treatments. About 120 participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: regorafenib plus an immune checkpoint inhibitor, eliglustat plus an immune checkpoint inhibitor, or all three drugs together. The study will also look at changes in the immune system and tumor environment.

- Active substance
- eliglustat (Cerdelga) combined with an immune checkpoint inhibitor and/or regorafenib (Stivarga)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has not responded to standard therapies.
