Clinical Trials for Rectal Cancer

Phase 3 Multicenter, Randomized, Open-label, Active-controlled Study of Sotorasib, Panitumumab and FOLFIRI Versus FOLFIRI With or Without Bevacizumab-awwb for Treatment-naïve Subjects With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer With KRAS p.G12C Mutation (CodeBreaK 301)

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 treatment-naïve adults with metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma harboring a KRAS p.G12C mutation and randomizes them to receive either sotorasib (a KRAS G12C inhibitor), panitumumab, and FOLFIRI, or FOLFIRI with or without bevacizumab-awwb. Excludes include prior KRAS G12C inhibitor use, untreated CNS metastases, and significant pulmonary disease.

A Phase I, Multicenter, Open-Label First in Human Study of Anti-CEACAM5 Antibody Drug Conjugate M9140 in Participants With Advanced Solid Tumors (PROCEADE-CRC-01)

Active drug

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

An Open-Label, Multicenter, First-in-Human, Phase 1 Dose-Escalation and Multicohort Expansion Study of INBRX-109 in Subjects with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors Including Sarcomas

Active drug

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

Started >3 years ago

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 patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors—including specific cohorts for Ewing sarcoma, colorectal adenocarcinoma, malignant pleural mesothelioma, gastric adenocarcinoma, and SDH-deficient/GIST—who receive INBRX-109, a tetravalent agonistic DR5 antibody that induces tumor cell apoptosis, as monotherapy or in combination with standard chemotherapy regimens. Eligible patients must have measurable disease, good organ function and performance status, and no prior DR5 agonist exposure.
