Summary

"This trial aims to test the effectiveness of two drugs, tiragolumab and atezolizumab, combined with radiation therapy in treating metastatic colorectal cancer that is microsatellite stable

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with metastatic colorectal cancer that's microsatellite stable (MSS). Participants must be able to perform normal tasks and provide a tissue sample from their tumor. They will undergo various tests, including blood work, imaging scans, heart function tests, and an assessment of daily activity levels.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the combination of two immunotherapy drugs—tiragolumab and atezolizumab—with Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) in treating MSS mCRC. Patients receive both drugs via IV on day 1 of each 3-week cycle plus radiation therapy on days 1, 3, and 5 of the first cycle.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to immune response such as inflammation in organs or infusion-related reactions. Fatigue, digestive issues due to radiation or immunotherapy drugs are also possible. Blood samples are taken regularly to monitor any adverse effects.
