Phase I Study of Hydroxytyrosol with Chemotherapy for Colorectal Cancer
This is a Phase I study looking at the safety and effects of combining Hydroxytyrosol (HT) with standard 5-Fluorouracil (5FU)-based chemotherapy (FOLFIRI/FOLFOX + Biologics) for people with advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer. You would take HT capsules daily for two weeks before starting chemotherapy, and continue taking them daily while on chemotherapy until your disease progresses. The main goal is to understand how safe this combination is, what side effects it might cause, and how your body handles the drugs. We are looking for about 33 participants who have advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer and are eligible for first-line 5FU-based therapy.
