New treatment option for Advanced Colorectal Cancer
Official title Trial of ProAgio in Advanced/Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06867822
What this study is testing
What is ProAgio?
ProAgio is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for advanced colorectal cancer.
Also referred to as ACT50.
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
- This is an open-label Phase I/Ib dose-escalation, dose-expansion clinical trial of the safety, pharmacokinetics and clinical activity of ProAgio combined with 5-fluorouracil, irinotecan (FOLFIRI) and bevacizumab for untreated advanced/metastatic CRC. The study will use an Accelerated titration BOIN design in Phase I to determine the recommended RP2D of ProAgio with FOLFIRI + bevacizumab.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
