Two-dose ONO-4578 with Opdivo plus mFOLFOX6 and bevacizumab versus standard treatment for advanced PD-L1–positive colorectal cancer
Official title: A Randomized, Open Label, Multicenter, Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Two Dose Levels of ONO-4578 With Opdivo® in Combination With mFOLFOX6 and Bevacizumab Versus Standard of Care for First-line Treatment of Non-MSI-H/dMMR, PD-L1 Positive Advanced Colorectal Cancer
Run by Ono Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. · NCT06948448 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial tests whether adding one of two doses of ONO-4578 to Opdivo, standard chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6), and bevacizumab helps people with PD-L1–positive, non-MSI-H advanced colorectal cancer as their first-line treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with histologically confirmed advanced (unresectable or metastatic) colorectal cancer that is PD-L1–positive, non-MSI-H/dMMR, ECOG 0–1, and who have not received prior systemic treatment for advanced disease.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with MSI-High/dMMR tumors, BRAF V600E mutations, prior checkpoint inhibitor therapy, active autoimmune disease, or poor performance status are unlikely to be eligible or to benefit from this regimen.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
Eligible participants with PD-L1–positive, non-MSI-H/dMMR advanced colorectal cancer are randomized 1:1:1 to receive one of two dose levels of ONO-4578 plus Opdivo with mFOLFOX6 and bevacizumab or to receive the current standard-of-care regimen. Treatments are given in 28-day cycles and continued until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, investigator decision, withdrawal of consent, or sponsor termination. Key entry requirements include ECOG 0–1, no prior systemic therapy for advanced disease, PD-L1 positivity confirmed at a central lab, and exclusion of MSI-High/dMMR or BRAF V600E mutated tumors. Safety and anti-tumor activity endpoints will compare the combination arms against standard care to determine whether the addition of ONO-4578 improves outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the combination could increase response rates or prolong survival compared with current first-line therapy for PD-L1–positive, non-MSI-H advanced colorectal cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Checkpoint inhibitors alone have not shown consistent benefit in non-MSI-H colorectal cancer, so combining a novel agent like ONO-4578 with PD-1 blockade and chemotherapy is a relatively novel approach with uncertain but potentially meaningful outcomes.
