Summary

This phase II study aimed to test two immunotherapy drugs (tiragolumab and atezolizumab) combined with targeted radiation in people with microsatellite stable (MSS) metastatic colorectal cancer, a type that typically doesn't respond to immunotherapy. The trial was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no data were collected. The goal was to find a safe dose and see if the combination could slow cancer growth.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Tiragolumab and atezolizumab (immunotherapy drugs) plus stereotactic body radiation therapy

What this could lead to

If it worked, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with a hard-to-treat form of colorectal cancer that doesn't respond to standard immunotherapy.

What could go wrong

The trial was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available. Immunotherapies can cause immune-related side effects, and it's unknown if this combination would be effective in MSS colorectal cancer.
