RECRUITINGPhase 2INTERVENTIONAL

The Phase-2 CCR5-targeting Leronlimab With Oral Chemotherapy and VEGF-inhibitor Enriched Regimen Trial (CLOVER)

A Phase Two Study Evaluating Two Doses of Leronlimab (PRO 140) In Combination With Trifluridine + Tipiracil (TAS-102) + Bevacizumab in Participants With Microsatellite Stable (MSS), Relapsed Refractory Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC)

The Phase-2 CCR5-targeting Leronlimab With Oral Chemotherapy and VEGF-inhibitor Enriched Regimen Trial (CLOVER) (NCT06699836) is a Phase 2 interventional studying Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC), sponsored by CytoDyn, Inc..

About This Trial

This is an open label, randomized, two arm, multi-center study to explore the effect of leronlimab on the overall response rate/ overall survival and safety and tolerability when used in combination with trifluridine and tipiracil + bevacizumab in patients with MSS, mCRC who have progressed on prior treatment before participating in the study. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Can leronlimab, in combination with standard of care therapies trifluridine and tipiracil+ bevacizumab, increase the objective response rate in persons with MSS, mCRC who have progressed on prior treatment before participating in the study. 2. Is leronlimab safe and well tolerated in these subjects when used in combination with standard of care therapies trifluridine and tipiracil+ bevacizumab.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC) and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 60 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC) subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
