Suvemcitug plus trifluridine/tipiracil for refractory metastatic colorectal cancer
Official title: A Phase Ib/III Study of Suvemcitug Plus Trifluridine/Tipiracil Tablets (FTD/TPI) Versus Placebo Plus Trifluridine/Tipiracil Tablets in Participants With Refractory Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
Run by Jiangsu Simcere Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. · NCT07361003 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial will test whether adding suvemcitug to trifluridine/tipiracil helps people with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer who have already had standard chemotherapy.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with unresectable metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma whose disease progressed after fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan, who have adequate organ and bone marrow function and known RAS status, and who have had or are unsuitable for anti‑VEGF/anti‑EGFR therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with symptomatic central nervous system metastases, a recent second primary malignancy, poor organ or marrow function, or those unable to tolerate trifluridine/tipiracil or intravenous antibody therapy are unlikely to benefit.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
The study includes a Phase Ib safety cohort of about 30 participants and a randomized Phase III portion of about 434 participants (total ~464) with unresectable metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma. In Phase III, participants are randomized 1:1 to receive suvemcitug plus trifluridine/tipiracil or placebo plus trifluridine/tipiracil, with treatment continued until prespecified discontinuation criteria. Investigators will track tumor responses, adverse events, and quality of life during treatment and will follow participants for subsequent therapies and survival after stopping study drug. Eligible patients must have progressed after fluorouracil-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-based chemotherapy and have known RAS status and prior or unsuitable status for anti‑VEGF (and anti‑EGFR if RAS wild-type) therapy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this combination could offer an additional treatment option that improves tumor control or survival for patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Combinations of trifluridine/tipiracil with anti‑VEGF agents such as bevacizumab have shown benefit in this setting, so this approach builds on established precedent though suvemcitug itself is less well characterized.
