A Single-arm, Single-center, Phase II Clinical Study of Aipalolitovorelizumab (QL1706) Combined With Bevacizumab and Standard Chemotherapy as First-line Treatment for MSS/pMMR Metastatic Colorectal Cancer With BRAF V600E Mutation

Starting soon · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Colorectal Cancer

In brief

This is an open-label, single-arm, single-center phase II clinical study, aiming to investigate the safety and efficacy of Aipalolitovorelizumab (QL1706) combined with bevacizumab plus standard chemotherapy regimen as first-line treatment for patients with MSS/pMMR metastatic colorectal cancer harboring BRAF V600E mutation. Patients will receive intravenous administration of Aipalolitovorelizumab (QL1706) injection + bevacizumab + oxaliplatin/irinotecan/fluorouracil/calcium folinate, along with oral capecitabine. After completing the corresponding treatment cycles, patients will enter the maintenance treatment phase as determined by the researcher. In the maintenance treatment phase, a 3-week treatment regimen of Aipalolitovorelizumab (QL1706) injection combined with bevacizumab and capecitabine will be adopted, with the administration method and dosage remaining unchanged. The primary endpoint of this study is objective response rate (ORR); the secondary endpoints include progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DOR), and safety.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older, up to 75. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Aged 18-75 years (inclusive of 18 and 75 years) at the time of signing the ICF, male or female;
• Patients with histopathologically confirmed unresectable metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma of MSS/pMMR type with known BRAF V600E mutation;
• Expected survival period ≥ 12 weeks;
• No prior systemic antineoplastic drug treatment for metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma (if the patient has previously received XELOX chemotherapy while waiting for genetic testing results, and meets other inclusion criteria as assessed by the researcher, they can be enrolled in the treatment);
• For subjects who have received neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy previously, the time from the last treatment to recurrence or progression must exceed 6 months;
• Adverse events (AEs) related to previous treatment have recovered to grade ≤ 1 according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) (except for alopecia);
• According to the RECIST version 1.1 criteria, the researcher assesses that there is at least one measurable lesion, which should not have received local treatment such as radiotherapy (lesions located in the previously irradiated area can also be regarded as eligible measurable lesions if progression is confirmed);
• Routine blood tests: No blood transfusion or use of blood products within 14 days. White blood cell count > 3000/µl, absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500 cells/µl, platelet count ≥ 75,000/µl, hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50%, Fridericia-corrected QT interval (QTcF) < 470 milliseconds, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN);
• Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times ULN, ALT and AST ≤ 2.5 times ULN; if there is liver metastasis, ALT and AST ≤ 5 times ULN, total bilirubin (TBLL) ≤ 3 times ULN; creatinine < 1.5 times ULN;
• ECOG PS score of 0-1 within 7 days before the first administration of the study drug;
• Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) (-) and hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) (-), and no active hepatitis is clinically determined. If HBsAg (+) or HBcAb (+), then hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid (HBV-DNA) must be < 1000 copies/mL or 200 IU/mL (if the lower limit of detection in the research unit is > 200 IU/mL, subjects with results below the lower limit of detection can be enrolled);
• Hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody (-); if HCV antibody (+), HCV-RNA test must be negative for enrollment. Subjects with co-infection of hepatitis B and hepatitis C must be excluded (HBsAg or HBcAb positive, and HCV antibody positive);
• For female subjects of childbearing potential, the blood pregnancy test within 7 days before the first drug administration must be negative. Female subjects of childbearing potential and male subjects whose partners are women of childbearing age need to use at least one medically recognized contraceptive method (such as intrauterine device, contraceptives, or condoms) during the study treatment period and until at least 3 months after the last use of Aipalolitovorelizumab (QL1706) and bevacizumab, and at least 6 months after the last use of chemotherapy (whichever occurs later);
• Provide a signed ICF and be willing to comply with all research procedures and rules specified in the protocol;
• Have good compliance and be cooperative with follow-up.

You may not qualify if…
