New combo therapy targets hard-to-treat liver metastases in colorectal cancer

NCT ID NCT06199232

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This trial tests a personalized treatment plan for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and stopped responding to standard treatments. The approach combines a liver-directed chemotherapy (HAIC), a targeted therapy (fruquintinib or cetuximab), and an immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab). The study aims to see if this combination can help control the cancer for at least 6 months. It includes 47 participants whose tumors are microsatellite stable (MSS), a type that typically does not respond well to immunotherapy alone.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
tislelizumab (immunotherapy) plus fruquintinib or cetuximab (targeted therapy) plus hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and stopped responding to standard therapies.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 47 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination therapy also carries risks of side effects from chemotherapy, targeted drugs, and immunotherapy.
