About this study

Official title: An Exploratory Study Investigating the Combination of Chidamide, Regorafenib, Plus Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab for the Treatment of Drug-esistant and Efractory Dvanced Colorectal Cancer

Patients with advanced colorectal cancer, particularly those of the pMMR/MSS type, exhibit suboptimal therapeutic responses in the third-line and subsequent treatments. The efficacy of the existing standard treatment regimens is highly restricted. In the CORRECT study, the median overall survival (OS) of regorafenib was 6.4 months, the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 1.9 months, and the objective response rate (ORR) was 1%. In the CONCUR study targeting the Asian population, the median OS of the regorafenib group was 8.8 months, the median PFS was 3.2 months, and the ORR was 4%. In the FRESCO study, the median OS of fruquintinib was 9.3 months, the median PFS was 3.7 months, and the ORR was 4.7%. In the TERRA study, the median OS of trifluridine/tipiracil (TAS-102) was 7.8 months, the median PFS was 2.0 months, and the ORR was 1.1%. The SUNLIGHT study explored the combined treatment modality of TAS-102 plus bevacizumab, where the median OS of the combined regimen was 10.8 months, the median PFS was 5.6 months, and the ORR was 6.1%. Evidently, the therapeutic efficacy of advanced colorectal cancer in the third-line and beyond has plateaued. In recent years, fundamental research has discovered that epigenetic regulation significantly synergizes with anti-angiogenesis and immune checkpoint inhibition therapy. Small-scale clinical explorations have also indicated favorable efficacy and clinical prospects, warranting further investigation. Hence, we contemplate employing the combination of chidamide, regorafenib, and iparomlimab/tuvonralimab to investigate its efficacy and safety in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer in the third-line and beyond, and to explore novel breakthroughs for refractory colorectal cancer after multiple lines of treatment.

The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the combination regimen of chidamide, regorafenib, and iparomlimab/tuvonralimab in patients with advanced colorectal cancer in the third-line and beyond. The study will be conducted at Shanghai Changzheng Hospital. The study drugs, including chidamide, regorafenib, and iparomlimab/tuvonralimab, are all commercially available 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 9 inclusion and 11 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 16 Apr 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 Zhan Wang (86 21 66540109-8007, 13916229609@139.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective response rate, ORR (time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06930118, which also lists 35 linked publications.

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 16 Apr 2025.
