New hope for advanced colon cancer: drug combo trial launches
NCT ID NCT07011576
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a combination of two drugs (fruquintinib and FOLFIRI) in people with advanced colorectal cancer that has spread. It is for those who have already had one prior treatment. The goal is to see if this new combination can help control the cancer longer and with manageable side effects. About 60 adults will take part.
