Clinical trial for Stage III Colon Cancer
Official title Colon Adjuvant Chemotherapy Based on Evaluation of Residual Disease
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05174169
What this study is testing
What is mFOLFOX6 3-6 month?
An investigational chemotherapy regimen being studied as a potential adjuvant treatment for stage III colon cancer after surgery. It is designed to damage DNA and inhibit cell division in cancer cells.
Also referred to as FOLFOX.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This study is testing whether checking circulating tumor DNA after surgery can help decide which chemotherapy to give.
- Who it's for
- You may be able to join if you have stage III colon cancer and have had surgery.
- What's involved
- You will have a blood test to look for circulating tumor DNA. Then you may receive a chemotherapy plan chosen by the study.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
