Immunotherapy boost for hard-to-treat bowel cancer?

NCT ID NCT06733038

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

Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug atezolizumab to standard chemotherapy (FOLFOXIRI) and bevacizumab helps people with a specific type of metastatic colorectal cancer live longer without their disease getting worse. The study enrolls 238 adults whose tumors have a certain immune profile (Immunoscore IC-high) and are not mismatch repair deficient. The main goal is to see if the combination delays cancer progression compared to chemotherapy alone.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

atezolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) added to standard chemotherapy (FOLFOXIRI) and bevacizumab

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a new first-line treatment option that delays cancer progression for people with a specific type of metastatic colorectal cancer.

What could go wrong

This is a Phase 3 trial, but it only includes patients with a specific immune profile (Immunoscore IC-high). Adding immunotherapy may increase side effects, and it is not yet known if it will meaningfully improve survival.
