NCT ID NCT07359456

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether adding the immune-boosting drug ivonescimab to standard chemotherapy (FOLFIRI) helps people with advanced colorectal cancer live longer without their cancer growing. It compares this new combination to the current standard of FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab. The study includes 130 adults whose cancer has not spread to the liver and who have already tried one prior treatment.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Ivonescimab (a drug that helps the immune system fight cancer) combined with FOLFIRI chemotherapy

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a more effective second-line treatment option for people with a common type of advanced colorectal cancer that hasn't spread to the liver.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase 2 trial with only 130 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The new combination may not work better than the current standard and could have side effects like immune-related reactions.
