Summary
This study tests whether adding D,L-methadone (a pain medication) to standard chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6) can help control advanced colorectal cancer that has stopped responding to other treatments. The trial involves 11 participants and aims to find the safest dose and measure how well the combination shrinks or stabilizes tumors. It is not a cure, but a way to potentially manage the disease longer.
