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.

What this could lead to
