Treatment for advanced colorectal cancer using TQB2618 injection alone or with other medications

A Phase Ib Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of of TQB2618 Injection Monotherapy and Combination Regimen (With Penpulimab Injection ±Anlotinib Hydrochloride Capsules) in the Four or Later Lines of Treatment of Advanced Colorectal Cancer.

This study is testing if the TQB2618 injection, alone or with other medications, can help people with advanced colorectal cancer who haven't responded to previous treatments.

What this trial studies

This Phase Ib clinical study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TQB2618 injection as a standalone treatment and in combination with Penpulimab injection and Anlotinib hydrochloride capsules for patients with advanced colorectal cancer. The study will enroll 75 participants who have experienced disease progression after receiving three or more lines of standard therapy. The primary endpoint is the objective response rate, assessed using the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-75 with confirmed metastatic colorectal cancer who have progressed after multiple lines of therapy.

Not a fit: Patients who have not received prior treatment with specific drugs like TAS-102, Regorafenib, or Fruquintinib 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: While this approach is being tested in this specific context, similar studies have shown promise in targeting advanced colorectal cancer with novel therapies.
