Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-75 with unresectable metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma that has failed standard second-line treatment.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with colorectal cancer that is resectable or those who have not failed second-line systemic treatment may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of a combination treatment involving fruquintinib, chidamide, and sintilimab for patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer that has not responded to standard therapies. The study focuses on patients with microsatellite stable or proficient mismatch repair colorectal cancer, building on previous findings from the CAPability-01 trial. Participants will receive these treatments to assess their effectiveness in improving patient outcomes in this challenging cancer setting.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment combination could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced colorectal cancer who have limited treatment choices.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies, such as the CAPability-01 trial, have shown promising results with similar treatment combinations, indicating potential for success.
