Ivosidenib plus intensive chemotherapy for BRAF V600E-mutant colorectal cancer after resistance

Official title: Ivosidenib Plus mFOLFOXIRI and Celecoxib as a Treatment for BRAF-targeted Therapy-refractory BRAF V600E-mutant Colorectal Cancer Patients: a Phase II Study

Run by Sun Yat-sen University · NCT07809893 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial tests whether adding ivonescimab to mFOLFOXIRI and celecoxib can help people with BRAF V600E-mutant colorectal cancer who have run out of effective previous treatments.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18-70 with confirmed BRAF V600E-mutant, advanced/metastatic colorectal cancer who progressed on prior chemotherapy and BRAF-targeted therapy and have measurable disease.

Probably not a fit

Patients without measurable disease progression or those intolerant to the regimen may derive little to no benefit and could experience adverse effects.

What this trial studies

This is a phase II, single-arm study evaluating the safety and activity of ivonescimab in combination with mFOLFOXIRI and celecoxib in patients whose BRAF V600E-mutant colorectal cancer progressed after prior chemotherapy and BRAF-targeted therapy. Eligible participants have advanced or metastatic disease with measurable lesions and adequate organ function. Treatment cycles continue for up to 6-8 cycles, followed by maintenance therapy, with tumor assessments every four cycles. The study's primary endpoint is objective response rate, with secondary endpoints including progression-free survival, disease control, safety, and exploratory biomarkers.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the combination could offer a new option to prolong tumor control and survival for this high-risk group.

How similar studies have gone: Previous efforts combining immunotherapy with targeted agents have shown signals in similar resistant colorectal cancer settings, though this exact combination is investigational.
