Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Participants with documented histopathological diagnosis of locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC), who were intolerant/refractory to or progressed after standard systemic therapies for the advanced/metastatic stage, if locally indicated and available to the participant. Participants with a known microsatellite instability high (MSI-H) status must have received treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor (if locally indicated and available) unless contraindicated.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) below or equal to 1
- Participants with adequate hematologic, hepatic and renal function as defined in protocol
- Other protocol defined inclusion criteria could apply
Exclusion criteria
- Participant has a history of malignancy within 3 years before the date of enrollment (exceptions are squamous and basal cell carcinomas of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix, benign prostate neoplasm/hypertropia, or malignancy that in the opinion of the Investigator, with concurrence with the Sponsor's Medical Monitor, is considered cured with minimal risk of recurrence within 3 years)
- Participants with known brain metastases, except those meeting the following criteria: Brain metastases that have been treated locally and are clinically stable for at least 4 weeks prior to the start of treatment; No ongoing neurological symptoms that are related to the brain localization of the disease (sequelae that are a consequence of the treatment of the brain metastases are acceptable)
- Participants with diarrhea (liquid stool) or ileus Grade \> 1
- Participants with active chronic inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, intestinal perforation) and/or bowel obstruction
- Unstable angina, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association \[NYHA\] \>= II) or a coronary revascularization procedure within 180 days of study entry. Calculated QTc average (using the Fridericia correction calculation) of \> 470 milliseconds (ms)
- Cerebrovascular accident/stroke (\< 6 months prior to enrollment)
- Other protocol defined exclusion criteria could apply
Where
- Encinitas, California
- Fresno, California
- Providence, Rhode Island
- Dallas, Texas
- Houston, Texas
- San Antonio, Texas
Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
