First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 30 times

Summary

This study tests whether giving two targeted drugs (encorafenib and cetuximab) before surgery can shrink tumors in people with a specific genetic mutation (BRAF V600E) in colon or upper rectal cancer. About 30 participants will receive the drug combination for a short time, then have surgery. The goal is to see how many tumors shrink significantly. This approach aims to improve surgical outcomes, but ongoing treatment may still be needed after surgery.
