RecruitingPhase 2NCT07136077
A Phase 2 Trial of Fruquintinib and Tislelizumab in ctDNA-defined Minimal Residual Disease in Colorectal Cancer After Completion of Adjuvant Chemotherapy
Sponsor
M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Enrollment
20 participants
Start Date
Sep 18, 2025
Study Type
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
To find out if a combination of fruquintinib and tislelizumab can control CRC in patients who have received treatment for the disease but still have "positive" ctDNA tests for MRD (meaning there is evidence of MRD based on this test).
Eligibility
Min Age: 18 Years
Plain Language Summary
Simplified for easier understanding
This study is testing a combination of two cancer drugs — fruquintinib (a targeted therapy) and tislelizumab (an immunotherapy) — in people with colorectal cancer who have no visible signs of disease on scans but still show traces of cancer DNA in their blood (called ctDNA), suggesting a high risk of the cancer coming back.
**You may be eligible if...**
- You have confirmed colorectal cancer (microsatellite stable type, MSS)
- You have completed curative treatment for stage II, III, or IV colorectal cancer, including at least 3 months of oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy
- There is no visible cancer on recent imaging
- A blood test (ctDNA assay, such as Signatera) performed at MD Anderson or a certified lab shows cancer DNA in your blood
**You may NOT be eligible if...**
- Your ctDNA test is negative (no cancer DNA detectable)
- You have visible cancer on scans
- Your colorectal cancer has a microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) profile (a different category that responds to other treatments)
