NCT ID NCT07268677

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding pirfenidone and sintilimab to standard chemotherapy can shrink tumors in 30 people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. Participants will receive the drug combination before any other treatment. The study will first check if enough tumors respond; if too few do, the trial will stop early.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

pirfenidone, sintilimab, oxaliplatin, capecitabine

What this could lead to

If this combination works, it could offer a new treatment option for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen, potentially shrinking tumors before surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug combination may cause side effects, and there is no guarantee it will be more effective than standard chemotherapy alone.
