Summary

This trial tests a combo of immunotherapy & targeted drugs to treat colorectal cancer that has spread. It may help the body's immune system attack cancer & inhibit tumor growth.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced colorectal cancer that's spread and hasn't responded to previous chemotherapy. Participants must be in good physical condition, able to take oral medication, have a life expectancy of at least 3 months, and use effective birth control if applicable. They can't join if they've had certain recent health issues or treatments, are on high-dose steroids or other immune-suppressing drugs, or have autoimmune diseases.
What is being tested?
The study tests a combination of botensilimab (an immunotherapy drug), balstilimab (another immunotherapy), and regorafenib (a drug that inhibits tumor growth) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. The goal is to see if this combo is more effective than the standard treatment alone.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to the immune system attacking normal cells as well as typical chemotherapy effects like fatigue, digestive problems, skin reactions, liver issues, increased risk of infections and potential bleeding complications.
