A Phase II Clinical Study of Multimodal Ablation Combined With Systemic Drug Therapy for Advanced Solid Tumors.

Official title

A Single-center,Multi-cohort,Prospective Phase II Clinical Study of Multimodal Ablation Combined With Systemic Drug Therapy for Advanced Solid Tumors.

Overview

This study focuses on the treatment of liver metastases from three common cancers: colorectal cancer, triple-negative breast cancer and melanoma. Currently, there are limitations in the treatment of liver metastases of these cancers. Multimodal thermophysical ablation therapy can reshape the tumor microenvironment, release neoantigens, and act as an in-situ vaccine. On this basis, the combination of multimodal ablation with immunotherapeutic drugs such as pucotenlimab will be explored. The efficacy and safety of this combination therapy in patients with liver metastases of solid tumors will be investigated, with the expectation of breaking through the existing treatment limitations.

Interventions

• Combination product MTT(Multimodal Tumor Thermal Therapy System)- Colorectal Cancer
  Multimodal ablation combined with cadonilimab and fruquintinib
• Combination product MTT(Multimodal Tumor Thermal Therapy System)- Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
  Multimodal ablation combined with pucotenlimab and TPC or sacituzumab govitecan, eribulin,gemcitabine,UTD1
• Combination product MTT(Multimodal Tumor Thermal Therapy System)- Melanoma
  Multimodal ablation combined with pembrolizumab or toripalimab, with other specific agents determined based on the first-line treatment regimen and the melanoma subtype.

• Active or uncontrolled severe infections(≥CTCAE grade 2 infections);
• Any other disease,clinically significant metabolic abnormalities,physical examination abnormalities,or laboratory test abnormalities that,in the investigator's judgment,may have a disease or condition that makes the patient unsuitable for the study drug,or may affect the interpretation of the study results,or may place the patient at high risk;
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women,or women of childbearing age with a positive baseline pregnancy test;
• Known human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)infection;known clinically significant liver disease history,including viral hepatitis\[known carriers of hepatitis B virus(HBV)must exclude active HBV infection,i.e.,HBV DNA positive(>1×10\^4 copies/mL or>2000 IU/mL);known hepatitis C virus(HCV)infection and HCV RNA positive(>1×10\^3 copies/mL),or other hepatitis,cirrhosis;
