What this study is testing

What is Fruquintinib+ Lonsurf (trifluridine and tipiracil)?

Fruquintinib+ Lonsurf (trifluridine and tipiracil) is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for 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.
