NCT ID NCT07241403

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at 698 people with metastatic colorectal cancer to see if chronic inflammation changes how well bevacizumab (a targeted therapy) plus chemotherapy works. Researchers measured inflammation markers in the blood and analyzed immune proteins to find clues about treatment resistance and survival. The goal was to better understand who benefits from this combination therapy.
