Regorafenib and Vudalimab for the Treatment of Stage II-IV Colorectal Cancer in Patients with Minimal Residual Disease after Standard of Care Treatment, RX-CROME trial

Trial Status: withdrawn

This phase II trials tests the safety and effectiveness of regorafenib and vudalimab in treating patients with stage II-IV colorectal cancer with minimal residual disease (MRD) after completing standard of care treatment. MRD disease occurs when there are still small amounts of cancer cells in the body during or after treatment and can be measured using the level of genetic material from tumor cells, circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA), in the blood. Regorafenib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors, and works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply, this helps to slow or stop the spread of tumor cells. Vudalimab is a bispecific monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Measuring ctDNA after treatment with regorafenib and vudalimab may help predict response to treatment or recurrence in patients with stage II-IV colorectal cancer with MRD after completing standard of care curative treatment.
