What is being tested

  • Drug TATE and pembrolizumab
  • Drug TAS-102 pill
  • Drug Regorafenib Pill

What it is measuring

Overall Survival for the mCRC cohort

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.

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

This study is an open-label study to treat patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer and non-small cell lung cancer with liver metastasis. Patients enrolled in the mCRC cohort will be randomized to receive study treatment Trans-arterial Tirapazamine Embolization (TATE)+Pembrolizumab or FDA-approved standard of care, such as TAS-102 or regorafenib, and their Overall Survival (OS) will be compared in the two cohorts as the primary endpoint. Patients enrolled in the NSCLC cohort will all receive study treatment TATE+Pembrolizaumb and Overall Response Rate (ORR) will be the primary endpoint.

Where it is running

Running at 3 sites. Listed in: Taiwan, 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 NCT04701476, registered by Teclison Ltd. 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.

This article summarises published research for general information. It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for a conversation with your own oncology team, who know your case. Do not start, stop, or change any treatment or supplement on the basis of what you read here.
