What is being tested

  • Drug HRX215 capsules
  • Drug Placebo capsules

What it is measuring

Adverse Events (AEs) observed

This is the trial's main question — the one it is designed and sized to answer. Anything else it reports is a secondary finding, and secondary findings are far more likely to be chance.

What this trial is trying to do

After part of the liver has been removed for colorectal cancer metastases, the researchers are testing whether HRX215 capsules can be given safely and tolerated better than, or differently from, a placebo. They will also examine how the body handles the drug and look for signs of clinical activity, although the treatment’s mechanism is not described here.

The comparison with placebo is intended to show whether any safety findings or signs of activity are linked to HRX215 rather than recovery or other changes after surgery. The main measured outcome is adverse events, so the clearest improvement would be acceptable safety and tolerability; this trial is not primarily measuring longer survival or delaying cancer growth.

Worth knowing: This is a small, early-phase trial focused mainly on safety, and the available description does not establish what clinical benefit HRX215 might provide.

Written from the trial's own registry entry to explain what the researchers are testing and why. Nothing here is a result — this trial has not reported one — and it is not a view on whether the treatment works or on whether it would suit you.

Phase 2. Tests whether the treatment works well enough to be worth a larger trial. Usually too small to prove it changes survival.

How the researchers describe it

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if HRX215 is safe, tolerable and active in adults who have undergone liver resection due to colorectal carcinoma metastases.

The objectives are:

1. to learn about the safety and tolerability of HRX215
2. to learn about how the body absorbs, distributes, and gets rid of HRX215.
3. to learn about clinical activity of HRX215

Researchers will compare HRX215 to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to investigate safety, tolerability and clinical activity in participants taking HRX215.

Where it is running

Running at 12 sites. Listed in: France, Germany, Israel, Spain, United States.

Individual hospitals, and whether each is currently open, are listed on the registry record. Sites open and close throughout a trial.

Worth asking your oncology team

Being listed here is not a recommendation, and no one page can tell you whether a trial is right for you. These are the questions it raises.

  • Is this trial open at a hospital I could realistically travel to?
  • Given my stage, my previous treatment and my tumour's molecular profile, would I be eligible?
  • What would I be giving up by joining — is the comparison arm the treatment I would otherwise be having?
  • What is already known about the safety of what is being tested?

The source

Registry record NCT06638502, registered by HepaRegeniX GmbH on ClinicalTrials.gov, a public database run by the US National Library of Medicine. The details on this page come from that record and are only ever as current as the sponsor has kept it.

This is a listing of a registered clinical trial, reproduced for information. It is not a recommendation, this site has no connection to the trial or its sponsor, and being listed here says nothing about whether the treatment works. Talk to your own oncology team before pursuing any trial.
