Isunakinra Alone and in Combination With Pembrolizumab in Patients With Colorectal Cancer (MSS)

Is NCT06634875 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (Jun 2026). This Phase 2 trial studies isunakinra for colorectal cancer metastatic.

Phase 2RecruitingBuzzard PharmaceuticalsNCT06634875Data as of Jun 2026

Treatment: isunakinraThis study will enroll patients with colorectal cancer that is locally advanced or metastatic. The tumor must be microsatellite stable (MSS), have a tumor mutational burden that is high (TMB-H) and be kras mutated. Patients must have been treated with available approved treatments already. In this study the investigators are testing a new type of immunotherapy, the potent IL-1 inhibitor isunakinra to be added to already approved immunotherapy (PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor) in an attempt to get this treatment to work in this treatment resistant type of tumor.
