First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study tests a new combination of chemotherapy (5FU-based) plus the targeted drug fruquintinib as the very first treatment for people with advanced colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. About 50 participants will receive the treatment in cycles, and if it works well after six months, they will continue on a lower maintenance dose. The goal is to see if this combo can delay cancer growth longer than current options, while monitoring side effects.
