What is the PROCEADE CRC-03 Study?

The PROCEADE CRC-03 Study is a Phase 3 clinical study of an investigational medicine for adults with previously treated metastatic colorectal cancer.
In Phase 3, the goal is to confirm earlier findings of safety and efficacy in a larger group of people so doctors and regulators can understand the investigational medicine more clearly.
