About this trial

This is a prospective, randomized, open-label, multicenter phase II investigating the therapy of Fruquintinib in combination with Tislelizumab in patients with MSS/pMMR metastatic colorectal cancer without liver metastases.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patient* provide signed informed consent form.

Patient is ≥ 18 years at the time of given informed consent.

Patient has been diagnosed with histologically or cytologically proven microsatellite stable (MSS)/proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) metastatic adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum, which is not amenable to potentially curative resection.

Known RAS (KRAS or NRAS) and BRAF V600E mutational status. Note: These mutations are mutually exclusive. Therefore, if one of the factors is mutated, it is not required to determine the mutation status of the others, as they are then assumed to be wildtype.

Disqualifiers

Patient has known allergic / hypersensitive reactions to at least one of the treatment components

Patient had previous malignancy other than that under study within 3 years or concomitant malignancy, except: those with a 5-year overall survival rate of more than 90%, e.g. non-melanomatous skin cancer or adequately treated in situ cervical cancer

Patient received previous treatment with Fruquintinib, trifluridine/tipiracil, regorafenib or an anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1 antibodies.

Patient receives current treatment with any anti-cancer therapy, such as systemic immunotherapy, chemotherapy, or hormone therapy within ≤ 2 weeks prior to study treatment start.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Fruquintinib

    Drug

    highly selective and potent oral inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs) 1, 2, and 3

  • Tislelizumab

    Drug

    humanized immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-variant monoclonal antibody (mAb) against human programmed cell death-1 (PD-1)

  • Trifluridine/tipiracil

    Drug

    trifluridine, a nucleoside analog, and tipiracil, a thymidine phosphorylase inhibitor

  • Bevacizumab

    Drug

    recombinant humanized anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody composed of human IgG1 framework regions and antigen-binding, complementarity-determining regions from a murine monoclonal antibody (muMAb VEGF A4.6.1)

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

To evaluate the efficacy of Fruquintinib in combination with the PD-1 inhibitor Tislelizumab in MSS/pMMR metastatic colorectal cancer without liver metastases.

Progression-free survival (PFS), defined as time from randomization until date of progression acc. to RECIST v1.1 or death due to any cause.

Time frame
up to 54 month

Secondary outcomes

1

Overall survival

Overall survival (OS), defined as time from randomization until date of death due to any cause.

Time frame
up to 54 month
2

Objective response rate

Objective response rate (ORR), defined as proportion of patients achieving complete or partial response (CR/PR) acc. to RECIST v1.1.

Time frame
up to 54 month
3

Disease control rate

Disease control rate (DCR), defined as proportion of patients achieving CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) acc. to RECIST v1.1.

Time frame
up to 54 month
4

Duration of response

Duration of response (DoR), defined as time from response initiation (when either CR or PR is first determined) to disease progression acc. to RECIST v1.1 or death due to any cause.

Time frame
up to 54 month

Other outcomes

1

Exploratory Translational Objectives

To correlate analysis between selected blood (such as ctDNA, chemokines/cytokines and metabolites) and stool (microbiota composition and metabolites) parameters and clinical data as well as dietary information to identify molecular biomarkers predictive for tumor response and survival.

Time frame
up to 54 month
