Clinical Trials for Colon Cancer

Sequential Combined TAS-102 and Oxaliplatin Alternating With TAS-102 and Irinotecan (Sequential TASOXIRI) With Bevacizumab for Late-Line Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

TrialFetch AI summary: This trial enrolls adults with metastatic colorectal cancer who have progressed after standard chemotherapies (including 5-FU, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, and appropriate antibody therapies), evaluating a sequential regimen of TAS-102 (nucleoside metabolic inhibitor) alternating with oxaliplatin and irinotecan plus bevacizumab. Patients must not have had prior TAS-102 exposure and should have good performance status and organ function.

A Phase 1/2 Study of Tegavivint (NSC#826393) in Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults With Recurrent or Refractory Solid Tumors, Including Lymphomas and Desmoid Tumors

Active drug

Investigational drug(s) in this trial have shown anticancer activity in clinical trials

High burden on patient

The trial has a high burden on patients. An example would be a phase 1 trial with extra tumor biopsies and frequent pharmacokinetic blood draws.

TrialFetch AI summary: This trial enrolls children, adolescents, and young adults with recurrent or refractory solid tumors (including lymphomas and desmoid tumors), treating them with intravenous tegavivint, a small molecule inhibitor targeting TBL1 to disrupt Wnt/beta-catenin signaling. Expansion cohorts focus on specific tumor types and Wnt pathway–driven malignancies.

Moderate burden on patient

The trial has a moderate burden on patients. An example would be a trial testing an IV drug, with scans every 8 weeks which would be more frequent than standard of care.

Started >3 years ago

The trial was activated more than 3 years ago. This is not always bad but can indicate that the trial has less current treatments, or has had trouble getting enough patients to enroll due to other issues.

No known activity

No investigational drug(s) in this trial have shown anticancer activity yet in clinical trials

TrialFetch AI summary: This trial enrolls adults with metastatic colon cancer who are candidates for second-line or later irinotecan-based chemotherapy, randomizing them to receive standard chemotherapy with or without NBT-NM108, an oral botanical agent designed to modulate the gut microbiome and boost short-chain fatty acid production. Patients must have good performance status and no significant baseline diarrhea; the study aims to assess whether NBT-NM108 reduces diarrhea and enables improved chemotherapy delivery.
