New hope for Tough-to-Treat colorectal cancer: drug targets specific protein

NCT ID NCT06614192

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 3 trial tests two different doses of an investigational drug called telisotuzumab adizutecan in about 74 adults with metastatic colorectal cancer that has stopped responding to standard treatments and whose tumors have a specific protein (c-Met). The drug is given by IV infusion. Researchers will monitor side effects, tumor shrinkage, and overall survival to find the best dose.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

telisotuzumab adizutecan (ABBV-400)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for people with advanced colorectal cancer that has not responded to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage dose-finding study with only 74 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The drug may cause side effects and may not shrink tumors or extend survival.
