Evaluating AK112 with or without AK117 for metastatic colorectal cancer

A Phase II Study of AK112 With or Without AK117 for Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Phase 2 Interventional Akeso · NCT05382442

This study is testing if a new drug called AK112, alone or with another drug called AK117, can help people with metastatic colorectal cancer who can’t have surgery, while they also receive standard chemotherapy.

What this trial studies

This Phase II trial aims to assess the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of AK112, both alone and in combination with AK117, in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who are not candidates for surgery. Participants will be divided into two parts based on their previous treatment history, with specific eligibility criteria focusing on their cancer diagnosis and overall health status. The study will involve administering AK112 and AK117 alongside standard chemotherapy agents like Oxaliplatin, Capecitabine, and Irinotecan.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include individuals with histologically confirmed colorectal adenocarcinoma who have not received prior systemic antitumor therapy or those who have previously received treatment but could not tolerate standard options.

Not a fit: Patients with known microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) tumors may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new treatment option for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who have limited alternatives.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have explored similar combinations in colorectal cancer, but the specific use of AK112 and AK117 is novel.
