Study of Botensilimab and Balstilimab for Colorectal Cancer with ctDNA+ After Surgery and Chemotherapy
Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT07227636
This study is exploring whether a combination of two drugs, botensilimab and balstilimab, followed by balstilimab alone, can effectively treat people with a specific type of colorectal cancer that still shows signs of disease after surgery and chemotherapy.

Program Overview
The purpose of this study is to determine if the combination of botensilimab and balstilimab, followed by balstilimab alone, is an effective treatment for patients with microsatellite stable (MSS) colon cancer or colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) who have measurable residual disease (MRD) after undergoing standard treatment with surgery and chemotherapy.
Description
This study is divided into two parts, each with two groups of patients. In Part 1, 54 patients will be enrolled to see if the treatment can clear ctDNA, a marker of cancer, from the blood. This part includes two groups: one with 27 patients who have stage III colon cancer and another with 27 patients who have colorectal liver metastases, both with remaining disease after surgery and chemotherapy.
Part 2 will involve 230 patients in a randomized, placebo-controlled study to see if the treatment can improve recurrence-free survival. This part also has two groups: one with 113 patients who have stage III colon cancer and another with patients who have colorectal liver metastases, all with remaining disease after surgery and chemotherapy.
