Study Summary

This trial is testing a new combo therapy for patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors, specifically those with mismatch-repair proficient colorectal cancer.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with advanced solid tumors, including colorectal cancer that's still growing despite treatment. They must have tried at least two other treatments and be in good physical shape (able to perform daily activities). Participants need functioning organs, measurable disease for tracking progress, and the ability to provide consent. Pregnant or breastfeeding women can't join, nor can those with recent serious health issues like heart attacks or infections.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Copanlisib, a PI3Kinase inhibitor, alongside Nivolumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody. It aims to see how well they work together in patients whose colorectal cancer hasn't responded to standard treatments. The study will monitor safety and effectiveness of this combination therapy.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to the immune system attacking normal cells leading to inflammation in various organs (like lungs), potential blood sugar changes due to Copanlisib's effect on insulin regulation, fatigue from Nivolumab affecting energy levels, as well as general risks associated with infusion therapies.
