novel oncology therapies in combination with adjuvant chemo in high-risk mss-crc

Conditions: Microsatellite-stable Colorectal Cancer

Summary: columbia 2 is a phase 2 platform study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of standard of care (folfox) alone and in combination with novel oncology therapies in adjuvant high-risk microsatellite-stable colorectal cancer

columbia 2 is a phase 2, open-label, randomized, multicenter, platform study of novel oncology therapies in combination with adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with high-risk microsatellite-stable colorectal cancer.
