New treatment option for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
Official title Phase I/II Study of the Combination Immunotherapy Regimen: SX-682, TriAdeno Vaccine, Retifanlimab and IL-15 Agonist N-803 (STAR15) for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06149481
What this study is testing
What is Retifanlimab?
Retifanlimab is an investigational medicine, given as a monthly infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer.
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.
- What it's testing
- Background: Each year, more than 32,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with colorectal cancer that has returned or progressed after treatment and spread to other organs. This is called metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- Time commitment: about 3 weeks
