Pre-operative Targeted Treatments in Molecularly Selected Resectable Colorectal Cancer (UNICORN)

Is NCT05845450 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (May 2026). This Phase 2 trial studies multiple treatments for colorectal cancer.

Phase 2RecruitingGruppo Oncologico del Nord-OvestNCT05845450Data as of May 2026

Treatment: Trastuzumab deruxtecan · Durvalumab · Panitumumab · Botensilimab · Balstilimab · Sotorasib · Vorbipiprant · Nivolumab · Amivantamab · Botensilimab · BalstilimabThis is a window-of-opportunity umbrella platform trial enrolling non-metastatic resectable colorectal patients selected for the presence of a specific targetable molecular alteration. The study aims to test the activity of specific targeted agents/combinations given as a short-course pre-operative strategy, matched with the specific alteration detected, followed by standard of care surgery.
