Experimental drug combo aims to tackle tough colorectal cancer

NCT ID NCT06699836

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This Phase 2 study tests whether adding leronlimab to standard chemotherapy and a targeted drug can shrink tumors or improve survival in people with a specific type of advanced colorectal cancer (MSS mCRC) that has not responded to prior treatments. About 66 adults will receive one of two doses of leronlimab alongside the standard regimen. The main goals are to see if the combination increases tumor response and is safe.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

leronlimab (PRO 140) combined with trifluridine/tipiracil and bevacizumab

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for people with a hard-to-treat form of advanced colorectal cancer that has stopped responding to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 66 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The added benefit of leronlimab is unproven, and combination therapy may increase side effects.
