New hope for Hard-to-Treat colorectal cancer: liquid biopsy guides smarter drug choice

NCT ID NCT04776655

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

Summary

This study looks at people with advanced colorectal cancer whose tumor tissue shows no RAS/BRAF mutation, but a liquid biopsy (blood test) finds a RAS mutation. It compares two standard drug combos (FOLFIRI plus either cetuximab or bevacizumab) to see which works better at stopping the cancer from growing. About 280 adults will take part, and the goal is to find the best first treatment for this specific group.
