New treatment option for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC)
Official title A Clinical Study of Arfolitixorin in Patients With mCRC
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06922383
What this study is testing
What is Arfolitixorin?
Arfolitixorin is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer (mcrc).
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 a clinical research study taking place in Germany. Patients with colorectal cancer at a stage of the disease where metastases occur may take part in the study.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
