Recruiting PHASE1 Colorectal Cancer

Tests treatment safety and results for Colorectal Cancer

Official title Safety and Efficacy of Canagliflozin in Patients With Metastatic High Microsatellite Instability (MSI-H) Colorectal Cancer

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07076823

What this study is testing

What is Canagliflozin?

Canagliflozin is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for colorectal cancer.

Also referred to as ICIs.

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
Colorectal cancer (CRC), ranking third in incidence among men and second in women globally with third-highest mortality in the US, remains a major health challenge despite multimodal therapies, particularly for advanced-stage patients with poor prognosis where immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) like PD-1/PD-L1 blockers have emerged as transformative agents by reinvigorating anti-tumor immunity through PD-1/PD-L1 pathway inhibition. While MSI-H CRC's high mutational burden renders it susceptible to immunotherapy, clinical trials demonstrate durable responses with domestic ICIs such as tislelizumab showing 41.2% ORR, 14.4-month PFS, and 28.7-month OS in metastatic MSI-H CRC, yet unmet needs persist.
