First seen Mar 25, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study tests whether a combination of three drugs—cisplatin, nivolumab, and temozolomide—can shrink tumors in people with advanced colorectal cancer that has not responded to at least two prior treatments. The cancer must be mismatch repair-proficient (MMR-proficient), meaning it lacks a specific DNA repair defect. The trial enrolled 18 participants and aims to measure tumor response using standard RECIST criteria, while also monitoring safety.
