Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Fruquintinib, Adebrelimab, Oxaliplatin, Capecitabine

    Drug

    Safety run-in phase: Fruquintinib 4mg/d, oral, once daily, continuous treatment for 2 weeks, 1 week off, q3w, 6 cycles; If the number of patients experiencing dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was ≤1, the study would continue at that dose level. If the number of patients with DLTs was \>1, the dose of fruquintinib was decreased to 3mg/d, qd po, d1-14, q3w, and the dose expansion phase was continued;Adebrelimab 1200mg, d1, IV infusion, q3W, 6 cycles; Capecitabine 1000 mg/m2, twice a day, po, d1-14, followed by 7 days of rest, q3W, 6 cycles; Oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2, d1, q3W, 6 cycles; Dose expansion phase: Fruquintinib RP2D, qd po, d1-14, q3w, 6 cycles; Adebrelimab 1200mg, d1, IV infusion, q3W, 6 cycles; Capecitabine 1000 mg/m2, twice a day, po, d1-14, followed by 7 days of rest, q3W, 6 cycles; Oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2, d1, q3W, 6 cycles;
