Clinical Trials Jared D. Acoba is currently running
BRAF-Targeted Therapy
for Colon Cancer
This phase II/III trial compares treatment with encorafenib and cetuximab to usual care (patient observation) for reducing the chance of cancer recurrence after standard surgery and chemotherapy in patients with BRAF-mutated stage IIB-III colon cancer. Encorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Cetuximab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It binds to a protein called EGFR, which is found on some types of tumor cells. This may help keep tumor cells from growing. Giving encorafenib and cetuximab after standard surgery and chemotherapy may be more effective at reducing the chance of cancer recurrence compared to the usual patient observation.

Anti-TIM-3 + Anti-PD-1 Antibodies
for Liver Cancer
This trial is testing two drugs, cobolimab and dostarlimab, to help the immune system fight advanced or spreading liver cancer. The drugs work by blocking proteins that allow cancer cells to hide from the immune system, making it easier for the body to attack them.
