New bispecific antibody treatment for colorectal cancer
First in Human Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Preliminary Efficacy of the Bispecific CD276xCD3 Antibody CC-3 in Patients With Colorectal Cancer
This study is testing a new antibody treatment for people with advanced colorectal cancer who haven't had success with other therapies to see if it can help their immune system fight the cancer better.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of CC-3, a bispecific antibody targeting CD276 and CD3, in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who have failed at least three prior therapies. The trial aims to harness the dual action of CC-3, which not only directs T cells to attack cancer cells but also targets tumor blood vessels, potentially enhancing immune response. The study is designed to assess the treatment's effectiveness and safety profile in this challenging patient population.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients with progressing metastatic colorectal cancer who have undergone multiple lines of prior therapy.
Not a fit: Patients with early-stage colorectal cancer or those who have not yet received multiple lines of therapy may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced colorectal cancer who have limited treatment choices.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies using similar bispecific antibody approaches have shown promising safety and preliminary efficacy, indicating potential for success in this trial.

Inclusion Criteria:
written signed informed consent
* Patient is able to understand and comply with the protocol for the duration of the clinical trial including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations
* Patients with progressing metastatic CRC who were previously treated with FOLFOX, FOLFIRI, FOLFOXIRI, TAS-102, or regorafenib, if applicable in combination with anti-VEGFR monoclonal antibody (mAb) and anti-EGFR mAb (the latter, if RAS-wild-type and left sided tumors).
In case of MSI-high/dMMR tumors, patients should have received checkpoint inhibitor therapy and at least two further lines of therapy of that stated above.
In case of patients BRAF V600E mutation patients should have received: Cetuximab in combination with encorafenib in second- or third-line treatment.

This should be started from the signing of the informed consent and continue throughout period of taking study treatment and for 2 months after last dose of study drug.
* For FCBP two negative pregnancy test (sensitivity of at least 25 mU/ml) prior to first application of CC-3
* All subjects must agree to refrain from donating blood while on study drug and for 2 months after last dose of CC-3.

* Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dl (Transfusion of packed red blood cells prior to enrolment allowed)
* Neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/mm3
* Platelet count ≥ 75,000/µl
* Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5mg/dl or creatinine clearance ≥ 60ml/min
* hepatic function of patients without current hepatic metastasis:
* Bilirubin ≤ 1.5x upper limit of normal (ULN), in case of known Gilbert syndrome higher values are allowed if due to increase of indirect bilirubin
* ALT and AST ≤ 2.5 x ULN
* hepatic function of patients with current hepatic metastasis:
* Bilirubin ≤ 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
* ALT and AST ≤ 5. x ULN
Exclusion Criteria:
* Other malignancy requiring treatment within the last year except: adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer and low-grade non-muscle invasive papillary bladder cancer.

* Therapeutic anticoagulation therapy
* Major surgery within 4 weeks of starting study treatment. Patients must have recovered from any effects of major surgery.
* Patients receiving any systemic chemotherapy, mAb or radiotherapy within 2 (for mAb 4) weeks prior to study treatment or a longer period depending on the defined characteristics of the agents used
* Heart failure NYHA III/IV
* Severe obstructive or restrictive ventilation disorder
* Known intolerance to CC-3 or other immunoglobulin drug products as well as hypersensitivity to any of the excipients present in CC-3
* Live and live-attenuated vaccination 30 days prior to treatment
* Pregnant or breast-feeding women
