First seen Feb 20, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 14 times

Summary

This study tests whether a drug called TAS-102, alone or with celecoxib, can clear tiny amounts of cancer DNA left in the blood after standard chemotherapy for colorectal cancer. About 25 adults who have finished initial treatment but still show cancer signals in their blood will take the drug for 6 months. The goal is to see if the treatment can make those signals disappear, which may help control the disease and prevent it from coming back.
