Summary

This trial will study the best dose of gevokizumab to combine with standard cancer therapies for treating metastatic colorectal, gastroesophageal, and renal cell carcinomas.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with metastatic colorectal, gastroesophageal, or renal cancers that can't be removed by surgery. Participants must have specific types of these cancers at certain stages and meet criteria like having a measurable lesion and not needing immediate cancer treatment. They cannot join if they've had recent significant cardiovascular issues, are on certain drugs, or have brain metastases.
What is being tested?
The study tests the drug gevokizumab combined with standard cancer treatments (like FOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI for colorectal cancer) to find the right dose and see how well it works. It's given to patients who've already tried some treatments without success.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include those common to anti-cancer therapies such as nausea, fatigue, increased risk of infection due to lowered immunity, bleeding complications related to anti-VEGF agents in the therapy mix, and possible adverse reactions specific to gevokizumab.
