NCT ID NCT06245356

First seen Dec 12, 2025 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study tests a different chemotherapy drug (trifluridine/tipiracil) for people with metastatic colorectal or gastroesophageal cancer who have a genetic condition (DPD deficiency) that makes standard chemo very toxic. About 73 participants will receive this drug along with other targeted therapies. The main goal is to see if this approach causes fewer severe side effects like diarrhea, mouth sores, and dangerous drops in white blood cells.
