Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer drug, cabozantinib, to see if it is safe to use with another cancer drug, trifluridine/tipiracil (TAS102).

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced colorectal cancer that's spread and can't be cured by surgery or radiation. They must have tried other treatments without success, be in fairly good health otherwise, and agree to use contraception. People who've had certain recent treatments, severe allergies to the drugs being tested, brain metastases not stable for at least 4 weeks, or uncontrolled illnesses cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study tests combining Cabozantinib with TAS-102 (trifluridine/tipiracil) to find a safe dosage and see how well it works as a last-resort treatment for metastatic colorectal carcinoma (mCRC). It's an early-phase trial designed to establish safety profiles before moving on to larger trials.
What are the potential side effects?
Cabozantinib may cause high blood pressure, diarrhea, weight loss, fatigue and hand-foot syndrome. TAS-102 might lead to neutropenia (low white blood cell count), fatigue, nausea and liver enzyme abnormalities. Side effects can vary from person to person.

5Patient Review
I'm currently enrolled in a clinical trial at UCIMC, so the Gilbert AZ is old. The chemo I'm on appears to be effective against my pancreatic cancer that has metastasized to my Omentum. Dr Sayyani does a great job adjusting the chemotherapeutic side effects increase. He listens to our questions and answers them to our satisfaction most of the time. Some things he can't answer, like "what and when is the next step in treatment?"
