ctDNA-Guided Cetuximab or Bevacizumab Plus Trifluridine/Tipiracil in RAS/BRAF Wild-Type mCRC
Recruiting now · Phase 1/Phase 2
Conditions studied: Colorectal Cancer Metastatic
In brief
The objective of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of ctDNA-guided rechallenge with cetuximab plus trifluridine/tipiracil compared with bevacizumab plus trifluridine/tipiracil in patients with treatment-refractory, RAS/BRAF wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer.

- Severe and uncontrolled systemic complications such as infections or diabetes
- Clinically significant cardiovascular diseases, including cerebrovascular accident (within 6 months prior to enrollment), myocardial infarction (within 6 months prior to enrollment), uncontrolled hypertension despite appropriate medical therapy, unstable angina, congestive heart failure (NYHA class II-IV), or arrhythmias requiring medical treatment History of or physical examination indicating central nervous system diseases (e.g., primary brain tumor, epilepsy not controlled with standard therapy, any brain metastases, or history of stroke)
- History of other malignancies within the past 5 years (excluding adequately treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, and/or thyroid cancer)
- Known allergy to any of the study drugs

- Inability or unwillingness to comply with the study protocol
- Any other disease, functional impairment caused by metastatic lesions, or suspicious findings on physical examination that may indicate contraindications to study treatment or place the patient at high risk of treatment-related complications
