What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled This study
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study was designed to test an experimental immunotherapy called AlloStim combined with a checkpoint inhibitor (avelumab) in people with advanced colorectal cancer that had stopped responding to multiple prior treatments. The trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no data on safety or effectiveness were collected.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
AlloStim (experimental immunotherapy) plus avelumab (anti-PDL1 checkpoint inhibitor)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced colorectal cancer that hasn't responded to other therapies.
What could go wrong
This trial was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available. The combination is experimental and early-stage, with unknown safety and effectiveness.

Presenting with metastatic disease: * Primary tumor can be intact or previously resected 4. Previous treatment failure of at least two lines of active systemic chemotherapy: * Previous chemotherapy must have included a fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin (e.g. FOLFOX, CAPOX), and irinotecan-containing (e.g. FOLFIRI) regimens (single regimen of FOLFIRINOX satisfies) * Administered in adjuvant setting or for treatment of metastatic disease * If KRAS wild type, must have at least one prior anti-EGFR therapy if left sided primary tumor 5. Treatment failure or refusal/not qualified for at least one third-line treatment * TAS-102 +/- bevacizumab or regorafenib or fruquinib * Treatment failure can be due to disease progression or toxicity * Time from last treatment failure to Informed Consent must be no more than 30 days 6. ECOG performance score: 0-1 7. Adequate hematological function: * Absolute granulocyte count ≥ 1,200/mm3 * Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm3 * Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL (may be corrected by transfusion) 8. Adequate Organ Function: * Creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dL * Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) 9. Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 times ULN \* 10. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or (SGOT) ≤ 2.5 times ULN \* 11. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 times ULN\* 12. EKG without clinically relevant abnormalities 13. Female subjects: Not pregnant or lactating 14. Patients with childbearing potential must have a negative ß-HCG test and agree to use a highly effective contraceptive method during the course of the study 15. Study specific Informed Consent in the native language of the subject * ≤ 5 times ULN if liver involvement Exclusion Criteria: 1. High frequency microsatellite instability (MSI-H) or deficient mismatched repair dMMR 2. Bowel obstruction or high risk for obstruction if tumors become inflamed 3. Moderate or severe ascites requiring medical intervention 4. Clinical evidence of brain metastasis or leptomeningeal involvement 5. Widespread peritoneal carcinomatous (e.g. CT scan shows innumerable lesions visible and/or abnormal thickening of greater omentum) that increases risk of a major morbidity (e.g. bowel obstruction) in the opinion of the Investigator 6. COPD 7. Pulmonary lymphangitis or symptomatic pleural effusion (grade ≥ 2) that results in pulmonary dysfunction requiring active treatment; or, oxygen saturation \<92% on room air 8. Any of the following mood disorders: active major depressive episode, recent history of suicidal attempt or ideation 9. Prior allogeneic bone marrow/stem cell or solid organ transplant 10. Chronic use (\> 2 weeks) of greater than physiologic doses of a corticosteroid agent (dose equivalent to \> 5 mg/day of prednisone) planned or anticipated during the study before the end of the Safety Evaluation Period (28 days after the last dose of IP) * Topical corticosteroids are permitted 11. Prior diagnosis of an active autoimmune disease (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune thyroid disease, uveitis) * Well controlled Type I diabetes allowed (HbA1c \< 8.5%) 12.
