Study Summary

This trial is testing if a humanized monoclonal anti-CEA antibody can effectively and safely kill CEA positive colorectal cancer cells.

Who is the study for?
Adults with advanced colorectal cancer that produces CEA and has spread, who have no standard treatment options left. They must be in good enough health to participate, not pregnant or breastfeeding, use contraception, and have finished any previous cancer treatments at least 4 weeks ago.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Ac225-DOTA-M5A, a radioactive drug designed to target and kill CEA positive cancer cells. It's a phase I study which means they're looking for the safest dose with the fewest side effects.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include risks associated with radiation such as nausea, fatigue, hair loss near treated areas. There could also be specific reactions where the drug attaches to cancer cells.
