First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding hydroxychloroquine (a drug used for malaria) to standard targeted therapy can help people with a specific type of advanced colon cancer (BRAF V600E mutation) that has stopped responding to other treatments. About 43 adults will receive the combination to see if it shrinks tumors or delays cancer growth. The goal is to overcome resistance to current drugs and improve outcomes.
