What this study is testing

What is FOLFIRI Protocol?

FOLFIRI Protocol is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for metastatic colon cancer.

Also referred to as FOLinic acid-Fluorouracil-IRInotecan regimen.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
