Abstract
Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) continues to show poor outcomes, with many patients exhausting effective standard-of-care therapy. To explore the current landscape of clinical trials for mCRC, we reviewed over 600 clinical trials that are currently ongoing for mCRC patients. Immunotherapeutic agents form approximately 39% (includes monoclonal antibodies, viruses, vaccines, and immunomodulators) of all agents and targeted therapy forms 45% (tyrosine kinase inhibitors, epigenetic modulators, and others) of all agents being investigated for mCRC.Entities:
