Program Overview
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a new treatment combination for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to the liver. The treatment involves a procedure called Trans-arterial Tirapazamine Embolization (TATE) combined with the drug Pembrolizumab. For colorectal cancer patients, the study will compare this new treatment to standard care options to see which is more effective in improving survival. For lung cancer patients, the study will focus on how well the treatment works in shrinking tumors.
Description
This study is open to patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread to the liver. It aims to test a new treatment combination involving Trans-arterial Tirapazamine Embolization (TATE) and Pembrolizumab.
For patients with colorectal cancer, the study will randomly assign participants to receive either the new treatment or standard FDA-approved treatments like TAS-102 or regorafenib. The main goal is to compare the overall survival rates between the two groups.
For patients with lung cancer, all participants will receive the new treatment, and the study will measure how well the tumors respond to the therapy.
The study is designed to find out if this new combination can offer better outcomes for patients whose cancer has not responded to previous treatments.
