Clinical Trial of an Anti-cancer Drug, CA-4948 (Emavusertib), in Combination With Chemotherapy Treatment (FOLFOX Plus Bevacizumab) in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Is NCT06696768 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (May 2026). This Phase 1 trial studies multiple treatments for metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma.

Phase 1RecruitingNational Cancer Institute (NCI)NCT06696768Data as of May 2026

Treatment: Bevacizumab · Emavusertib · Fluorouracil · Leucovorin Calcium · OxaliplatinThis phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of CA-4948 when given together with fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) plus bevacizumab in treating patients with colorectal cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). CA-4948 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. The chemotherapy drugs used in FOLFOX, fluorouracil and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Leucovorin is used with fluorouracil to treat colorectal cancer. Bevacizumab is in a class of medications called anti-angiogenic agents. It works by stopping the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to the tumor. This may slow the growth and spread of the tumor. Giving CA-4948 with FOLFOX plus bevacizumab may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
