NCT ID NCT06589830

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

Summary

This Phase 2 trial is testing whether a new drug called TL938, taken as a pill, combined with the targeted therapy trastuzumab (given by IV), can shrink tumors in people with HER2-positive colorectal cancer that has spread or come back. The study will enroll 80 adults who have already tried several standard treatments. Researchers aim to find the best dose and measure how many patients respond to the combination.

What this could lead to
