In this study, the investigators provide a combined treatment of personalized tumor neoantigen-loaded DC vaccine and conventional third-line therapy to patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) progressed after second-line treatment. The investigators observe the objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), adverse event (AE), serious adverse event (SAE), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) , aiming to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the treatment.
Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed CRC;
At least one measurable lesion;
Aged 18-70, regardless of gender;
Disease progression after standard second-line therapy, and more than 2 weeks since the end of the last antitumor treatment;
Patients with uncontrollable brain metastases;
Subjects expected to require any form of antitumor treatment during the study, including maintenance therapy with other drugs, chemotherapy, and/or surgical resection.
Subjects who have required systemic treatment with corticosteroids (>10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent) or other immunosuppressants within 14 days before the first dose. Inhalational or topical corticosteroids are allowed in the absence of active autoimmune diseases;
Subjects who have been treated with anticancer immunotherapies or other immunostimulatory anticancer drugs (interferons, interleukins, thymosin, immune cell therapy, etc.) within 3 months before the first dose;
Single group
Conventional third-line therapy
Combination productConventional third-line therapy includes oral chemotherapy drugs and/or targeted cancer drugs. The medication, dosage and treatment cycle of oral chemotherapy drugs and/or targeted cancer drugs will be determined by the subject's attending physician based on the subject's specific circumstances.
Neoantigen-loaded DC vaccine
DrugThe treatment with personalized tumor neoantigen-loaded DC vaccine is divided into two periods: the primary phase and the boost phase. The primary phase consists of 6 treatments, with the first 3 treatments spaced one week apart and the subsequent 3 treatments spaced two weeks apart. Vaccine will be administrated on the fourth day (D4) of that week. The boost phase consists of 4 treatments, each spaced three weeks apart. Vaccine will be administrated on the fourth day (D4) of that week.
Objective response rate (ORR)
According to RECIST (version 1.1) criteria, the proportion of subjects experiencing Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) within the analyzed population. Provide the 95% CI for the Objective Response Rate (ORR).
Disease control rate (DCR)
According to RECIST (version 1.1) criteria, the proportion of subjects experiencing Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), or Stable Disease (SD) within the analyzed population. Provide the 95% CI for the Disease Control Rate (DCR).
Drug safety
Safety analysis will be based on data from the safety population. It will primarily involve descriptive statistical analysis, with tables describing the adverse events that occurred in this study.
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the first administration of the study drug to disease progression or death. For subjects who have not reported disease progression at the time of analysis, the date of their last disease progression-free check will be used as the censoring date. The median PFS and its 95% CI will be analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and survival curves will be plotted.
Overall Survival (OS)
Overall Survival (OS) is defined as the time from the first administration of the study drug to death from any cause. For subjects who have not reported death at the time of analysis, the date of their last known survival will be used as the censoring date. The median OS and its 95% CI will be analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and survival curves will be plotted.
