Scientists try to 'Wake Up' immune system to fight tough colon cancer

NCT ID NCT03388190

Summary

This study tested if adding an immunotherapy drug (nivolumab) to standard chemotherapy could better control a hard-to-treat type of advanced colorectal cancer. It involved 80 patients who had not received prior treatment for their metastatic cancer. The main goal was to see if the new combination could delay cancer growth longer than chemotherapy alone.
