Irinotecan Plus Brivanib in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Enriched for Elevated Levels of Plasma FGF

Stopped early · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Colorectal Cancer, Colorectal Adenocarcinoma

In brief

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if adding brivanib to irinotecan can help control the disease in patients with colorectal cancer that has spread. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied.
