Iparomlimab/Tuvonralimab Combined With Bevacizumab and CAPEOX as Conversion Therapy for Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastasis

Официальное название

Efficacy and Safety of Iparomlimab/Tuvonralimab Combined With Bevacizumab and CAPEOX as Conversion Therapy in Patients With Right-Sided or RAS-mutant, Microsatellite Stable, Initially Unresectable Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastasis: A Prospective, Open-Label, Single-Arm, Single-Center, Phase II Clinical Trial

Обзор

More than half of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients present with RAS mutations or right-sided primary tumors; however, objective response rates (ORRs) to bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy remain suboptimal. Additionally, approximately 95% of metastatic CRC (mCRC) cases are microsatellite stable (MSS), where immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy demonstrates limited efficacy, necessitating combination strategies. Iparomlimab/tuvonralimab is the first bifunctional combination of anti-PD-1/anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibodies, which has shown therapeutic promise in first-line mCRC when combined with bevacizumab and capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (CAPEOX). Nevertheless, whether improved treatment response rates in mCRC patients can lead to higher surgical conversion rates remains unclear. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of iparomlimab/tuvonralimab combined with bevacizumab and CAPEOX as conversion therapy in patients with right-sided or RAS-mutant, MSS, initially unresectable colorectal cancer liver metastasis.

• Life expectancy ≥12 weeks;
• No indications for emergency surgery due to primary tumor complications including significant bleeding or obstruction;
• Adequate organ function meeting the following laboratory parameters:

i. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5×10\^9/L without granulocyte colony-stimulating factor support within 14 days; ii. Platelet count (PLT) ≥75×10\^9/L without transfusion within 14 days; iii. Hemoglobin (HGB) >70 g/L without transfusion or erythropoietin use within 14 days; iv. Total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤1.5×upper limit of normal (ULN); serum albumin (Alb) ≥28.0 g/L; v. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤5×ULN; vi. Serum creatinine ≤1.5×ULN and creatinine clearance (calculated by Cockcroft-Gault formula) ≥60 mL/min; vii. Normal coagulation function: International Normalized Ratio (INR) or prothrombin time (PT) ≤1.5×ULN;

• Fertile female patients or male patients with fertile partners must agree to use highly effective contraception (failure rate <1% per year) from 7 days before first dose until 24 weeks post-treatment;
• Fertile female patients must have negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days before first dose;
• Patients must be capable of and willing to comply with study protocol requirements, including scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, and other trial-related procedures.

Критерии исключения

Patients who meet any of the following exclusion criteria will be excluded from this study:
