Triple therapy aims to turn inoperable bowel cancer into surgical candidates
NCT ID NCT07446465
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether combining chemotherapy (FOLFOX), a targeted drug (fruquintinib), and an immunotherapy (serplulimab) can shrink advanced colorectal cancer enough to allow surgery. About 42 adults with a specific genetic type (pMMR/MSS) who have not had prior treatment will receive the combination. The goal is to see if more patients can become eligible for surgery and how well the tumors respond.
