Treatment for advanced colorectal cancer using CYAD-101 and pembrolizumab
Official title: An Open-label, Phase Ib Study to Assess the Safety and Clinical Activity of CYAD-101 Administered Concurrently With FOLFOX Chemotherapy, Followed by Pembrolizumab Treatment, in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
Run by Celyad Oncology SA · NCT04991948 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new treatment combining CYAD-101 with chemotherapy and pembrolizumab to see if it helps people with advanced colorectal cancer who haven't had success with other treatments.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer who have previously received FOLFOX chemotherapy and have measurable disease.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with microsatellite instability high tumors or those who have received other investigational agents recently 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 study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of CYAD-101 in combination with FOLFOX chemotherapy, followed by pembrolizumab treatment in patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer. The approach involves administering CYAD-101 concurrently with FOLFOX to assess its clinical activity, followed by pembrolizumab to enhance the treatment response. The study aims to provide insights into a potential new treatment option for patients who have not responded to previous therapies.
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: Other studies have shown promise with similar immunotherapy approaches, but this specific combination is novel.
