Clinical trials

English Translation (for ClinicalTrials.gov Patient-Friendly Summary): This is a Phase II clinical trial for patients with advanced gastric cancer (stomach cancer). We are looking for participants whose cancer has progressed after one prior standard chemotherapy regimen and whose tumors test positive for the PD-L1 protein. This study is testing the effectiveness of a combination of three medications: 1. Irinotecan liposome: A chemotherapy drug wrapped in tiny fat particles (liposomes) to target tumors more precisely and minimize damage to healthy tissues. 2. Fruquintinib: An anti-angiogenic medication that blocks the growth of new blood vessels feeding the tumor, cutting off its nutrient supply. 3. Sintilimab: An immune checkpoint inhibitor that helps the body's own immune system recognize and attack cancer cells. The primary goal of this study is to evaluate how well this three-drug combination works and to monitor its safety. Participants will receive the study drugs via intravenous infusion or oral tablets according to the protocol. Their progress will be tracked with CT scans and blood tests every three months. Regular follow-up visits will continue even after stopping treatment to monitor long-term outcomes. Who can participate? Participants must be adults diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer who have progressed after only one prior first-line standard therapy, have PD-L1-positive tumors, and have no severe heart, liver, or kidney disease. Pregnant or breastfeeding women cannot participate. Possible side effects Potential side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hand-foot swelling, low blood cell counts (which can increase infection risk), and fatigue. The research team will closely monitor all participants and provide prompt treatment for any side effects. Important note This study is still in the clinical trial phase. While it offers a potential new treatment option beyond standard care, there is no guarantee that the drugs will be effective for every participant.

This study is a randomized, open-label, multi-center phase II trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of the becotatug vedotin in combination with pucotenlimab regimen in patients with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma who are intolerant to platinum-based therapy.

This is a Phase 1 clinical study investigating RH125 as monotherapy or in combination therapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors who failed standard treatment, or were intolerant to standard treatment, or declined standard treatment. The aim of the study is to evaluate the tolerability, safety, immunogenicity, and preliminary efficacy of RH125 monotherapy or combination with PD-1 blocker.

In this study, the combination of Adebrelimab (PD-L1 monoclonal antibody) on the basis of standard treatment (two-drug chemotherapy regimen of fluorouracil and platinum drugs) may enhance the immune response in order to enhance the killing effect on tumor cells and bring survival benefits to patients with advanced or metastatic gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.

In 2018, global cancer incidence reached 18.1 million new cases, with 9.6 million cancer-related deaths. Colorectal cancer ranked as the third most common malignancy by incidence. Data from the U.S. NIH SEER database indicate a five-year survival rate for colorectal cancer of approximately 65%. Specifically, the survival rate is 90% for localized (non-metastatic) cases, 71% for regional (lymph node metastasis) cases, and only 14% for advanced metastatic cases. According to the China Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) guidelines, first-line therapy for advanced colorectal cancer typically involves chemotherapy combined with targeted agents, such as bevacizumab or cetuximab, yielding a median survival of 20-30 months. Prognosis is generally better for RAS wild-type patients compared to those with RAS mutations. In subsequent lines of therapy, chemotherapy combined with targeted therapy results in remission for approximately 22% of patients, although overall survival rarely exceeds 12 months. Basic research has demonstrated that cetuximab, when combined with chemotherapy, enhances the infiltration of NK cells, cytotoxic T cells, and other immune cells into the tumor microenvironment. In head and neck cancer, an increase in PD-1+ and TIM-3+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) during cetuximab treatment was negatively correlated with treatment response. Blocking these immune checkpoints may improve cetuximab-based immunotherapy by reversing CD8+ TIL dysfunction, potentially enhancing clinical outcomes. The cetuximab-chemotherapy regimen increases tumor immunogenicity by inducing tumor cell death and antigen release. When combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors, cetuximab may convert "cold tumors" into "hot tumors," thus synergistically improving tumor cell elimination. Additionally, cetuximab has been shown to activate tumor-promoting M2 macrophages, particularly CD163-positive macrophages in colorectal cancer, which produce high levels of Fc-γ receptors and PD-L1, supporting the theoretical basis for combining cetuximab with immune checkpoint inhibitors in colorectal cancer treatment. In patients with locally advanced colorectal cancer, immune checkpoint inhibitors like PD-1 and CTLA-4 inhibitors have shown preliminary efficacy. The NICHE study reported a 100% pathological response in MSI-H patients and a 27% response in MSS-type patients, indicating potential benefits and safety of immunotherapy in both MSI-H sensitive and MSS/pMMR populations. For first-line treatment of advanced colorectal cancer, the BBCAPX Phase II study showed that sintilimab combined with CapeOX and bevacizumab resulted in an objective response rate (ORR) of 84% and a 100% disease control rate in RAS-mutant, MSS-type metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients. Similarly, the AIO-KRK-0216 study found that a combination of Avelumab (PD-L1), cetuximab, and chemotherapy produced an ORR of 79.5% in first-line MSS-type metastatic colorectal cancer. In later-line therapy, the REGONIVO Phase II study reported a 36% ORR for PD-1 monoclonal antibody combined with anti-angiogenesis agents (chemotherapy, targeted therapy) in metastatic colorectal cancer, with a 33% ORR for MSS-type patients. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 7.9 months, though median overall survival (OS) had not been reached.
