Inflammation may predict success of targeted cancer therapy
NCT ID NCT07241403
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 698 people with metastatic colorectal cancer to see if chronic inflammation changes how well bevacizumab (a targeted therapy) plus chemotherapy works. Researchers measured inflammation markers in the blood and analyzed immune proteins to find clues about treatment resistance and survival. The goal was to better understand who benefits from this combination therapy.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors predict which patients with metastatic colorectal cancer will benefit most from bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It cannot prove cause and effect, and the findings may not apply to all patients or lead to immediate changes in care.

Who is studied
In this study, all enrolled patients received first-line CT or Bev/CT based on the decisions made by both patients and clinicians. The treatment regimens included: (1) oxaliplatin-based CT (FOLFOX/XELOX, OX), (2) irinotecan-based CT (FOLFIRI/ XELIRI, IRI), (3) Bev combined with oxaliplatin-based CT (Bev/OX), and (4) Bev combined with irinotecan-based CT (Bev/IRI). All the patients underwent at least two cycles of Bev/CT until they either withdrew from the disease, experienced disease progression, or encountered intolerable toxic effects.
