NCT ID NCT07082439

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing whether a combination of two drugs, pembrolizumab and odetiglucan, can safely shrink tumors in people with colorectal cancer that has spread mainly to the liver. About 27 participants will receive the drugs every three weeks. The main goal is to see how many patients have their tumors shrink or disappear.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

pembrolizumab and odetiglucan

What this could lead to

If this combination works, it could offer a new treatment option for people with colorectal cancer that has spread mostly to the liver, potentially shrinking tumors and slowing disease progression.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 27 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drugs may cause side effects, and there is no guarantee the combination will be more effective than existing treatments.
