Study Details
Colorectal cancer refers to cancers that originate in the colon or rectum and ranks as the third most diagnosed cancer in the world. The AndroMETa-CRC-534 Study is evaluating whether a new medication called telisotuzumab adizutecan can help reduce the risk of cancer coming back in people who have a higher chance of recurrence after tumors are removed surgically. This medicine is designed to target a protein called c-Met which is found in colorectal cancer cells and can deliver chemotherapy directly to cancer cells. Please note that telisotuzumab adizutecan is an investigational drug and is not approved by the US and global regulatory authorities. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
In addition to testing this new medication, this study will also be using a new method for detecting cancer cells in the blood called circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) testing. This is a blood test which can detect cancer even when traditional tests like CT scans and MRIs show no evidence of disease. To do this, a person’s blood sample is compared to a sample of their tumor and blood which is taken at the time of their surgery to determine if there are new cancer cells.
