First-line treatment of advanced colorectal cancer using simultaneous levofolinate and 5‑FU infusion
Official title: A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of a First-line Treatment for Advanced Colorectal Cancer With Simultaneous Infusion of Levozolinate for Injection and 5-FU
Run by Chinese PLA General Hospital · NCT07391618 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial will try combining simultaneous infusion of levofolinate (levozolinate) with 5‑FU as first-line chemotherapy for adults with unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–75 with histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer, known RAS/BRAF status, at least one measurable lesion, ECOG 0–2, adequate blood counts and organ function, and no prior treatment for metastatic disease are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have already received prior treatment for metastatic disease, have poor organ function or ECOG >2, are outside the 18–75 age range, or lack measurable disease are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This Phase II study gives adults with unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer standard mFOLFOX or FOLFIRI chemotherapy using a simultaneous infusion of levofolinate and 5‑fluorouracil (5‑FU). The trial monitors tumor response by RECIST 1.1 and tracks safety with regular blood tests and organ-function assessments. Eligible participants are treatment‑naïve for metastatic disease, have measurable lesions, known RAS/BRAF status, and adequate performance status and organ function. The study is conducted at the Chinese PLA General Hospital in Beijing and focuses on response rates and treatment tolerability.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could improve how effectively and tolerably 5‑FU‑based first‑line chemotherapy controls advanced colorectal cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Combining folinate (leucovorin or levoleucovorin) with 5‑FU is a long‑established standard and levoleucovorin formulations have shown similar effectiveness in prior studies, but the specific simultaneous‑infusion formulation has been less widely tested.
