First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 27 times

Summary

This study is for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has a certain genetic makeup (RAS/BRAF wild type) in the tumor but shows a different genetic change (RAS mutation) in a blood test. The goal is to see if a combination of chemotherapy (FOLFIRI) plus a drug called bevacizumab works better than the standard combination of FOLFIRI plus cetuximab. About 280 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments to compare how long the cancer stays under control.
