Evaluating a new treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical study is a randomized, double-blinded, multicenter trial designed to assess the efficacy and safety of Serplulimab (HLX10) combined with Bevacizumab (HLX04) and chemotherapy (XELOX) in patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer. The study will enroll approximately 568 patients across multiple countries, including China, Japan, and Indonesia, with a structured approach involving a screening period, treatment cycles lasting up to two years, and follow-up assessments. Participants will be divided into two groups, one receiving the experimental treatment and the other receiving a placebo, to compare outcomes effectively.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Key Inclusion Criteria:

1. Histopathologically confirmed unresectable metastatic/recurrent colorectal adenocarcinoma
2. Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks
3. Have not received any previous systemic anti-tumor drug treatment for metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma
4. For participants who have previously received neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy, the time from the last treatment to recurrence or progression must exceed 12 months.
5. With at least one measurable lesion as assessed by the IRRC per RECIST v1.1, and the measurable lesion should not have been treated locally such as with radiotherapy (a lesion located in an area subjected to previous radiotherapy can also be regarded as a measurable lesion if PD is confirmed)
6. Agree to provide sufficient previously preserved tumor tissue specimens or agree to undergo biopsy to collect tumor tissue for some gene test.
7. Have an ECOG PS score of 0 or 1 within 7 days prior to receiving the first dose of the study drugs
8. Have Adequate major organ functions.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

1. Have confirmed MSI-H CRC (gene test)
2. Subjects with oligometastatic liver disease and presenting the potential for becoming resectable
3. Presence of central nervous system (CNS) or leptomeningeal metastases
4. Have received radiotherapy within 6 months prior to the initiation of study treatment, except for palliative radiotherapy for bone disorders at least 14 days prior to initiation of study treatment; radiotherapy covering more than 30% of the bone marrow area within 28 days prior to randomization is not allowed.
5. With a history of or current interstitial pneumonia, pneumoconiosis, radiation pneumonitis, drug-related pneumonitis, severe pulmonary dysfunction, or any condition that may interfere with the detection and management of suspected drug-related pulmonary toxicity
6. Have received major surgery within 28 days prior to randomization. A major surgery in this study is defined as a surgery requiring at least 3 weeks of recovery to be able to receive the treatment in this study
7. Previously received intestinal stent implantation, with the stent remaining in place at the screening period
8. Uncontrolled hypertension despite clinical treatment (defined as systolic blood pressure ≥ 150 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg)
9. With a history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy
10. With a history of significant/severe hemorrhage within 1 month prior to randomization, or have received blood transfusion within 2 weeks prior to randomization
11. Requiring long-term treatment with daily administration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Occasional use of NSAIDs to relieve medical symptoms such as headache or pyrexia is allowed
12. With evidence showing the presence of meteorism that cannot be attributed to puncture or recent surgery
13. Presence of severe, unhealed or split wounds and active ulcers or untreated fractures
14. Presence of any of the following medical conditions within 6 months prior to randomization:

    1. Abdominal or tracheoesophageal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation or intra-abdominal abscess, massive ascites as judged by the investigator (defined as patients requiring drainage or treatment within two weeks)
    2. Intestinal obstruction and/or previous clinical signs or symptoms of gastrointestinal obstruction, including incomplete obstruction associated with a preexisting disease or requiring routine parenteral hydration, parenteral nutrition, or tube feeding. 2 months prior to randomization, patients with previous symptoms of incomplete obstruction/obstructive syndrome/signs/symptoms of intestinal obstruction that have improved after treatment may be enrolled in the study as assessed by the investigator
    3. Severe, uncontrollable intra-abdominal inflammation requiring clinical intervention as judged by the investigator
    4. Major vascular disease (e.g., aortic aneurysm requiring surgical repair or associated with recent peripheral artery thrombosis)
