NCT ID NCT07209384
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study tests a procedure called transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with chemotherapy drugs for elderly patients (65+) with advanced colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if delivering chemo directly to the tumor via a catheter improves tumor shrinkage and disease control compared to standard IV chemo. About 50 participants will be enrolled, and the study is not yet recruiting.
