alloSHRINK Trial Summary

This trial will test a new cancer treatment, CYAD-101, on patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer. They will measure its safety, how it affects cancer cells, and its clinical activity.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with metastatic colorectal cancer that can't be surgically removed and has worsened after treatment. They should have had FOLFIRI chemotherapy within the last 3 months, be in good physical condition (ECOG status 0 or 1), and have organs functioning well. People with brain cancer spread, recent non-cancer experimental treatments, prior cell therapies, or certain growth factor drugs can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The alloSHRINK study tests CYAD-101 cells given after standard chemo (FOLFOX or FOLFIRI) to see how safe they are and how they affect colorectal cancer. It measures if these special immune cells can help control the disease when combined with usual treatments.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to the immune system's activation by CYAD-101 cells which may affect different organs, as well as typical chemo-related issues like nerve damage (limited for eligibility), fatigue, digestive problems, and blood count changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is there any availability for participants in this medical experiment?

"Affirmative. According to clinicaltrials.gov, this medical trial is presently recruiting participants; the protocol was first posted on November 28th 2018 and last updated on November 19th 2020. 49 patients are needed from a single site for enrollment in this experiment."

Answered by AI

How many participants are contributing to this experiment?

"Affirmative, the information on clinicaltrials.gov shows that this research is searching for participants. It was initially advertised on November 28th 2018 and its details were last revised on November 19th 2020. A total of 49 participants need to be recruited from a single medical centre."

Answered by AI

Has CYAD-101 been officially sanctioned by the FDA?

"CYAD-101 remains largely untested, so safety was rated a 1. This is due to the fact that this project is currently in its first clinical trial phase and has scant evidence of effectiveness or security."

Answered by AI

What therapeutic applications does CYAD-101 possess?

"CYAD-101 is a therapeutic agent primarily used to treat rectal carcinoma, yet its efficacy extends beyond this cancer type and includes colorectal carcinoma, ovarian cancer, as well as sarcoma."

Answered by AI

Are there any other reports on the efficacy of CYAD-101?

"As of now, 507 medical studies are being conducted using CYAD-101. Of those trials, 143 have progressed to Phase 3 while the remaining 364 are in earlier stages. The majority of these clinical sites are located near Woolloongabba, Queensland with a total 24451 locations running research for this potential treatment."
