ASIST Trial Summary

This trialwill test a drug to treat colon/rectal cancer that could reduce oxaliplatin-induced neurotoxicity and allow a full dose of mFOLFOX7 and bevacizumab.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with newly diagnosed Stage IV metastatic adenocarcinoma of the colon/rectum, measurable disease, life expectancy >3 months, and good performance status. They must have proper organ function and agree to use effective contraception. Excluded are those with certain other cancers, diabetes, specific heart conditions, uncontrolled infections or prior treatments that could interfere.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing BXQ-350 combined with mFOLFOX7 chemotherapy and bevacizumab against a placebo combination in patients with colorectal cancer. The first stage determines the safe dose of BXQ-350; the second stage tests its effectiveness at that dose compared to placebo.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include typical chemotherapy-related issues like nausea, fatigue, risk of infection due to low blood counts. There's also a focus on whether BXQ-350 reduces nerve damage from treatment (neuropathy). Specific side effects related to BXQ-350 aren't listed but would be monitored.
