I think I have posted this MSS-eligible immunotherapy trial before but I noticed today that it has finally opened trial sites in the United States (previously it was Europe only) - so I wanted to repost. Your tumor needs to be CEA-positive. It combines a targeted form of IL-2 "RO6895882" (to activate the immune system in the vicinity of tumor) along with a PDL1 immunotherapy. It has trial locations in NYC and CT. I believe there can be a disconnect between CEA-expression on the tumor itself and what they measure floating in the blood stream - so I would not discard this trial possibility based upon bloodstream CEA results before talking to a MD at the trial. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT ... 673&rank=1

You're right: This study states : "The elevation of serum CEA and the expression of CEA in tissues did not show a direct correlation."

Hi Sha,

My guess is that KRAS-status won't matter. If this drug strategy works (unknown, being tested right now), my guess is that it would work similarly between KRAS-wildtype and KRAS-mutant.
