Run by RemeGen Co., Ltd. · NCT07462143 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests RC148 with standard chemotherapy as the first treatment for people with unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer to see if it helps more than current therapy.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18-75 with unresectable or metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma, ECOG 0-1, measurable disease, no prior systemic therapy for recurrence/metastasis, and adequate organ function.

Probably not a fit

Patients whose tumors do not respond to RC148 or who experience intolerable toxicity may not benefit from this combination therapy.

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

What this trial studies

This is a Phase Ⅱ/Ⅲ interventional study evaluating the safety and efficacy of RC148 combined with capecitabine and oxaliplatin as a first-line treatment for unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer. In Phase II, the trial assesses preliminary efficacy of RC148 plus chemotherapy. In Phase III, RC148 plus chemotherapy is compared head-to-head with bevacizumab plus chemotherapy for first-line treatment. Participants must have measurable disease, good performance status, and no prior systemic anti-tumor therapy for recurrent/metastatic disease. Biomarker tissue is required, and standard eligibility criteria apply including organ function and contraception guidelines for women of childbearing potential.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients could receive a potentially more effective first-line therapy for unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer.

How similar studies have gone: Prior studies with targeted agents added to chemotherapy have shown benefit in metastatic colorectal cancer, but this specific RC148 combination is being evaluated in a Phase II/III framework.

2. Aged 18-75 years old (including 18 years old and 75 years old).
3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 or 1.
4. Expected survival period ≥ 12 weeks.
5. At least one measurable lesion according to RECIST v1.1 criteria.

7. Subjects must be able to provide tumor tissue samples for biomarker detection.
8. Adequate bone marrow, liver, kidney, and coagulation function.
9. Female subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use at least one medically approved contraceptive method during the study treatment and for 6 months after the end of the study treatment, and must have a negative blood pregnancy test within 7 days before study enrollment; male subjects must agree to use at least one medically approved contraceptive method during the study treatment and for 6 months after the end of the study treatment.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Known to have microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or deficient mismatch repair (dMMR).
2. Imaging shows obvious tumor necrosis or cavitation, and the investigator judges that participation in the study may increase the risk of bleeding.
3. Subjects with brain metastases.
4. Toxicities from prior anti-tumor therapy have not recovered to ≤ grade 1 according to NCI-CTCAE v6.0.
5. Known hypersensitivity or delayed-type allergy to any component of the study drug or similar drugs.
6. Subjects with refractory nausea and vomiting, chronic gastrointestinal diseases, or other diseases that may interfere the adequate absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of oral drugs.
7. Subjects with acute, chronic, or symptomatic infections.
8. Subjects with diagnosed or suspected interstitial lung disease (ILD), drug-related pneumonia, radiation pneumonitis, severe impairment of lung function, or other lung diseases.
9. Subjects with active inflammatory bowel disease, a history of gastrointestinal perforation and/or fistula, or clinical symptoms of gastrointestinal obstruction.
10. Subjects with severe arterial/venous thromboembolic events within 6 months before randomization.
11. Active gastrointestinal bleeding, hemoptysis, peptic ulcer, or hemorrhagic events requiring intervention within 28 days before randomization; or presence of severe esophagogastric varices or epistaxis.
12. Presence of symptomatic or intervention-requiring third-space effusions.
13. Subjects with active or previously diagnosed autoimmune diseases that may recur.
14. History of other invasive malignant tumors within 5 years before randomization, or presence of any residual evidence of previously diagnosed malignant tumors.
15. Subjects who are pregnant, lactating, or planning to become pregnant.
