ClinicalTrials ID:NCT04587128

This study is exploring a new treatment strategy using anti-EGFR drugs, panitumumab or cetuximab, for patients with left-sided metastatic colorectal cancer that cannot be surgically removed. The trial aims to see if this approach can maximize the benefits of EGFR inhibition in a specific group of patients.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The study is testing the use of established doses of panitumumab or cetuximab for treating metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) that cannot be surgically removed. It aims to explore a different treatment strategy to enhance the effects of blocking the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in a carefully selected group of patients. The trial will include 71 participants with left-sided, unresectable metastatic CRC and will last up to 5 years.
