Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 75 with advanced or metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma who have previously progressed on standard therapies.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with significant liver metastases or those who have not undergone at least second-line systemic therapy 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 Phase II clinical study evaluates the efficacy of a triple therapy regimen combining Thymalfasin, Regorafenib, and Tislelizumab against a double therapy regimen of Regorafenib and Tislelizumab in patients with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer. Participants will be randomly assigned to either treatment group and monitored for disease progression or intolerable side effects. The study aims to determine if the addition of Thymalfasin can improve progression-free survival compared to the standard double therapy. The trial will enroll a total of 52 subjects across multiple centers in Beijing.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve progression-free survival for patients with advanced colorectal cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar immunotherapy approaches, suggesting potential for success in this trial.
