About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety Study of Thymalfasin in Combination with Targeted Immunotherapy (Regorafenib and Tislelizumab) in Patients with Advanced PMMR/MSS Colorectal Cancer Who Failed Standard of Care: a Multicenter, Open-label, Randomized, Controlled Clinical Study

This is a multicenter, open-label, prospective, randomized controlled Phase II clinical study. All eligible subjects will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the triple therapy group or the double therapy group.

Triple therapy group: Subjects will receive Thymalfasin in combination with Regorafenib and Tislelizumab until iCPD is achieved per iRECIST (progressive disease (PD) per iRECIST), or until an intolerable toxicity occurs; Double therapy group: Subjects will receive Regorafenib and Tislelizumab until iCPD is achieved per iRECIST (PD per iRECIST), or until an intolerable toxicity occurs.

Read the detailed description

Assuming the following hypotheses:

H0: The mPFS of the test group minus the mPFS of the control group equals 0 H1: The mPFS of the test group minus the mPFS of the control group does not equal 0 Assuming an mPFS of 5.0 months for the test group and 1.8 months for the control group, with a two-sided alpha level of 0.05 and 80% power, at least 32 events need to be observed. Within a 9-month enrollment period and a total study duration of 15 months, 44 subjects need to be enrolled to achieve this. Considering an additional dropout rate of 15%, 26 subjects per group are required, totaling 52 subjects (using PASS 2023 Log-rank procedure).

Enrollment sites: Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Peking University People's Hospital.

Allocation of enrollment across sites: Each site will compete for enrollment, with each site enrolling no less than 14 subjects.

  1. Regorafenib: Start at 80 mg once daily, orally, taken at a fixed time for 2 consecutive weeks and then stopped for 1 week. If the patient tolerates it well, increase to 120 mg/d in Cycle 2.
  2. Tislelizumab: 200 mg, iv.gtt, single infusion, 21 days as a cycle, Day 1.
  3. Thymalfasin: 4.8 mg, administered subcutaneously twice weekly. Treatment will continue until disease progression or until an intolerable adverse reaction occurs that does not resolve despite dose modification.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Time from day of randomization to the date of documented tumor progression or death due to any cause

    Measured: 48 WEEKS

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. 18-week PFS rate

    Proportion of patients without disease progression or death at 18 weeks after starting the study treatment.

    Measured: 18 weeks

  2. Objective response rate (ORR)

    Proportion of patients with tumor size reduction of a predefined amount and maintaining for a certain time period, ORR = CR + PR

    Measured: 48 WEEKS

  3. Disease control rate (DCR)

    Proportion of patients with tumor control with tumor size reduction of a predefined amount and maintaining for a certain time period, DCR = CR + PR + SD

    Measured: 48 WEEKS

  4. Overall survival (OS)

    Time from day of randomization to death due to any cause.

    Measured: 3 Years

  5. 1-year OS rate

    Proportion of patients alive at 1 year after starting the study treatment.

    Measured: 48 WEEKS

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Thymalfasin (Thymosin alpha 1, Ta1), Regorafenib (BAY 73-4506) and Tislelizumab (BGB-A317) in people with MCRC, run by Beijing Friendship Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Zhigang Bai, MD (86-10-13511041528 ext. 86-10-63138712, baizhigang@ccmu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression-free survival (PFS) (time frame: 48 WEEKS). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Feb 2025.
