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)

Summary

This study tests a new chemotherapy regimen called FOLFOX8 against the standard mFOLFOX6, both combined with targeted drugs (bevacizumab or cetuximab), as a first treatment for people with metastatic colorectal cancer that cannot be surgically removed. About 229 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two regimens. The main goal is to see if FOLFOX8 delays cancer growth longer than the standard approach.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
FOLFOX8 (oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, levofolinic acid) and mFOLFOX6 combined with bevacizumab or cetuximab
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a more effective first-line chemotherapy regimen for people with advanced colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 229 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The new regimen may not improve survival and could have side effects like nerve damage or low blood counts.
