Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 80 with stage IV colorectal cancer that is MSS or MSI-L and have progressed after prior treatments.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with colorectal cancer that is mismatch repair-deficient or those who have not progressed after standard treatments may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of a combination treatment involving Tislelizumab, Fruquintinib, and Metronidazole in patients with advanced colorectal cancer that is mismatch repair-proficient or microsatellite stable. The study focuses on patients with high levels of Fusobacterium nucleatum and aims to provide a new treatment option for those who have already undergone standard therapies. It is a single-arm Phase II trial conducted across multiple centers.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could offer a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced colorectal cancer who have limited treatment choices.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is innovative, similar studies combining immunotherapy with targeted therapies in colorectal cancer have shown promise, suggesting potential for success.
