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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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
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.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether two drugs, fruquintinib and tislelizumab, can control leftover cancer cells in people with colorectal cancer who have completed chemotherapy but still show signs of minimal residual disease (MRD) on a blood test. About 20 adults with stable disease will receive the combination to see if it is safe and can prevent the cancer from coming back. The goal is to manage the disease, not necessarily cure it.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Eligibility Criteria * Participants must have histologically or cytologically confirmed microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal adenocarcinoma. * Participants must have completed curative intent treatments of stages II, III, or IV colorectal cancer that must include ≥ 3 months of oxaliplatin containing chemotherapy. * No evidence of radiographic disease within 28 days (before or after) a positive ctDNA assay. * Participants must have minimal residual disease as defined by positive ctDNA assay by Signatera MRD assay. * Participants must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below: * Absolute neutrophil count of ≥1.0×109/L * Platelet count of ≥100×109/L * Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL * Serum total bilirubin ≤1.5× upper limit of normal (ULN) (total bilirubin must be \<3× ULN for participants with documented Gilbert's syndrome). * Participants must have ALT and AST ≤5× ULN. * Urine protein ≤1+ by dipstick or 24-hour urine protein \<1 g/24 hours. Participants with 2+ proteinuria by dipstick must undergo 24-hour urine collection to assess urine protein level. * Creatinine creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥30 mL/min per Cockcroft-Gault. * International normalized ratio (INR) and activated prothrombin time (aPTT) ≤1.5 ULN unless the participant is receiving anticoagulation therapy and INR and aPTT values are within the intended therapeutic range. * ECOG performance status (PS) of 0 or 1. * Age ≥ 18 years. * Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and for 4 months after the end of study treatment. (Refer to Pregnancy Assessment Policy MD Anderson Institutional Policy # CLN1114). This includes all female patients, between the onset of menses and 55 years unless the patient presents with an applicable exclusionary factor which may be one of the following: * Postmenopausal (no menses in greater than or equal to 12 consecutive months). * History of hysterectomy or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. * Ovarian failure (Follicle Stimulating Hormone and Estradiol in menopausal range, who have received Whole Pelvic Radiation Therapy). * History of bilateral tubal ligation or another surgical sterilization procedure. * Approved methods of birth control are as follows: Hormonal contraception (i.e. birth control pills, injection, implant, transdermal patch, vaginal ring), Intrauterine device (IUD), Tubal Ligation or hysterectomy, Subject/Partner post vasectomy, Implantable or injectable contraceptives, and condoms plus spermicide. Not engaging in sexual activity for the total duration of the trial and the drug washout period is an acceptable practice; however periodic abstinence, the rhythm method, and the withdrawal method are not acceptable methods of birth control. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. * Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and 4 months after completion of study treatment administration. * Is able to understand and is willing to sign a written informed consent document. Exclusion Criteria * Has other concomitant active, invasive malignancies that may interfere with ctDNA analysis (known clonal hematopoesis of unknown potential allowed). * Has serum electrolytes, potassium, calcium, or magnesium levels outside of the normal laboratory reference range which are clinically significant in the investigator's judgment. * Has significant concomitant health conditions including but not limited to severe autoimmune or cardiovascular disorders that may interfere with participation in the study. * Active autoimmune diseases or history of autoimmune diseases that may worsen or relapse per treating providers' evaluation. * Has a persistent adverse event from previous treatment, except alopecia and neuropathy, greater than or equal to grade 2 of the Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v. 5.0 * Systemic anti-neoplastic therapies or any investigational therapy within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug, including chemotherapy, radical radiotherapy, hormonotherapy, biotherapy, and immunotherapy. * Systemic small molecule-targeted therapies (eg, tyrosine kinase inhibitors) within 5 halflives or 4 weeks (whichever is shorter) prior to the first dose of study drug. * Mean QT interval corrected by the method of Fridericia (QTcF) ≥480 ms. * Has another disease, metabolic disorder, physical examination anomaly, abnormal laboratory result, or any other condition that investigators suspect may (a) prohibit use of the investigational product, (b) affect interpretation of study results, or (c) put the participant at undue risk of harm * Has known hypersensitivity to the trial drugs or their excipients or is at risk of allergic of anaphylactic reaction to drug product according to the Investigator's judgement. * Is pregnant or lactating. * Is unable to take medication orally or has any other condition that investigators believe may affect absorption of the investigational product. * Is receiving any other investigational agent. * Any condition that requires systemic treatment with either corticosteroid (\>10 mg daily of prednisone or equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medication ≤14 days before the first dose of study drug(s), with the following exceptions: * Adrenal replacement (dose of ≤10 mg daily of prednisone or equivalent). * Topical, ocular, intra-articular, intranasal, or inhalational corticosteroid with minimal systemic absorption. * Short course (≤7 days) of corticosteroid prescribed prophylactically (eg, for contrast dye allergy) or for the treatment of a non-autoimmune condition (eg, delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction caused by contact allergen) * Live vaccine ≤28 days before the first dose of study drug(s). Seasonal vaccines for influenza are generally inactivated vaccines and are allowed. Intranasal vaccines are live vaccines and are not allowed. * Known untreated or inadequately treated active hepatitis C, or chronic hepatitis B. * Known untreated or inadequately treated human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. * Major surgery within 30 days before the first drug administration. Participants must have recovered adequately from the toxicity and/or complications from the intervention prior to the first dose of study drug(s). * Prior allogeneic stem cell transplantation or organ transplantation. * Any of the following cardiovascular risk factors: * Acute myocardial infarction ≤6 months before the first dose of study drug(s). * Heart failure meeting New York Heart Association Function Classification III or IV ≤6 months before the first dose of study drug(s) * Ventricular arrhythmia Grade ≥2 in severity ≤6 months before the first dose of study drug(s). * Cerebrovascular accident ≤12 months before the first dose of study drug(s). * Uncontrolled hypertension that cannot be managed by standard antihypertension medications, which is specified as systolic pressure ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic pressure ≥90 mmHg. The participant must have blood pressures below both limits. Repeated assessments are permitted. * Syncope or seizure ≤28 days before the first dose of study drug(s). * Received strong inducers of cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily A (CYP3A) taken within 2 weeks (or 5 times the t1/2 of the drug, whichever is longer) prior to the first study treatment. * Active gastrointestinal and duodenal ulcers, ulcerative colitis, and other gastrointestinal disease: other conditions that the investigator determines to possibly cause gastrointestinal bleeding, perforation, and other conditions; or prior gastrointestinal perforation or gastrointestinal fistula that has not recovered after surgical treatment. * History or presence of clinically significant hemorrhage from any site (such as clinically significant melena, hematemesis, hemoptysis, fresh in stool) within 2 months before the screening. * History of arterial thrombus within the last 12 months.
