They must have tried at least two other treatments and be in good physical shape (able to perform daily activities).

I will use an approved method of birth control during the study.
I am not pregnant and will follow the study's birth control requirements.
I am 18 years old or older.

Exclusion Criteria

I have been treated with a PI3K inhibitor before.
I am on medication for seizures.
I have a history of bleeding problems.
My cancer has spread to my brain or spinal cord.

Treatment Details

The trial is testing Copanlisib, a PI3Kinase inhibitor, alongside Nivolumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody. It aims to see how well they work together in patients whose colorectal cancer hasn't responded to standard treatments. The study will monitor safety and effectiveness of this combination therapy.
