Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug, ART-123, to see if it is safe and effective in treating metastatic colorectal cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with metastatic colorectal cancer and an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1, indicating they are fully active or restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory. Participants must have normal recent liver and kidney tests, agree to use effective contraception, and be able to consent. Excluded are those with a high bleeding risk, other cancers, active ulcers, hepatitis B, prior thrombomodulin alfa treatment or recent investigational drug use.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the safety of ART-123 when added to FOLFOX (a type of chemotherapy) plus Bevacizumab in treating metastatic colorectal cancer. Patients will either receive ART-123 or a placebo alongside their standard chemotherapy regimen to compare outcomes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include increased risk of bleeding due to ART-123's effect on blood clotting; common chemo-related issues like nausea, fatigue, neuropathy; and Bevacizumab's risks such as hypertension and rare severe bleeding.
