About this trial
COSENSE-1 is an unblinded, phase II, single-armed, single center feasibility study for using a functional precision medicine platform to select oxaliplatin-based versus irinotecan-based chemotherapy regimens, for male and female participants aged 18 and older, with microsatellite stable (MSS)/proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), that is incurable or not resectable with curative intent.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Test the feasibility of using a functional precision medicine platform to select oxaliplatin-based versus irinotecan-based chemotherapy regimens for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
Rate of generating valid\* tumouroid response reports per patient included in the trial. \*A valid tumouroid response report for a sample is defined as a fold-change growth in untreated controls of \> 1, registered on day 5, 6, 7 or 8 and normalised with respect to day 0 or 1.
