About this trial
Evaluate the efficacy and safety of Nocardia rubra cell wall skeleton in combination with prior second- or third-line regimens for the treatment of potentially hazardous colorectal cancer SD(Stable Disease) status in the real world.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age ≥ 18 years old, gender is not limited;
Colorectal adenocarcinoma confirmed by pathologic histology and/or cytology and imaging;
Have 1 or more measurable lesions with a longest diameter of at least 10 mm as determined by spiral CT scanning; and a diameter of at least 20 mm as determined by conventional CT scanning (Criteria for the Evaluation of Efficacy in Solid Tumors, i.e., RECIST Criteria, version 1.1);
Prior second- or third-line therapy for advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer with potentially harmful SD status. The potentially hazardous SD (Stable Disease) state is defined as an increase in SLD (Sum of Longest Diameters) by less than 20% according to RECIST 1.1 criteria, with an absolute increase of SLD ≤ 5mm from the nadir; a serum CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen) level below 10.0 ng/ml during stable disease, with two consecutive measurements of 10 ng/ml or more (with a testing interval of at least one month); or a serum CEA level of 10 ng/ml or more during stable disease, with a gradual increase in CEA after two consecutive measurements (with a testing interval of at least one month); a serum CA19-9 level below 60.0 ng/ml during stable disease, with two consecutive measurements of 60 ng/ml or more (with a testing interval of at least one month); or a serum CEA level of 60 ng/ml or more during stable disease, with a gradual increase in CEA after two consecutive measurements (with a testing interval of at least one month). Meeting any one of the above criteria can be considered as the presence of a potentially hazardous SD state.
Disqualifiers

Treatments tested in this trial
Nocardia Rubra Cell Wall Skeleton in Combination With Prior Second- or Third-line Regimens
DrugNocardia Rubra Cell Wall Skeleton 200 mcg-400 mcg, 0.3 ml diluted in water for injection or lidocaine, was injected subcutaneously every 2 or 3 weeks. Efficacy was evaluated every 2 cycles according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. Patients are enrolled and given this study regimen of drugs on top of their prior second- or third-line regimen until disease progression or intolerable toxicities occur; or the patient requests to be discharged.
