About this study
Official title: A Phase II, Multicenter, Open Label, Parallel Cohort Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of PM8002 (BNT327) in Combination With Chemotherapy in First Line MSS or MSI-L/pMMR Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
PM8002 (BNT327) is a bispecific antibody targeting PD-L1 and VEGF. This is a phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PM8002 in combination with chemotherapy in first line MSS or MSI-L/pMMR metastatic colorectal cancer.
Read the detailed description
A multicenter, randomized, open-label study design is used, with a planned enrollment of 100 participants, 40 in the PM8002 (BNT327)+ chemotherapy regimen 1 group, 30 in the PM8002 (BNT327)+ chemotherapy regimen 2 group and 30 in the PM8002 (BNT327)+ chemotherapy regimen 3 group. The investigators make the decision on which chemotherapy regimen to be used in the participants. After combined chemotherapy regimen is confirmed, participants will be randomized to one of two dose levels of PM8002(BNT327) plus chemotherapy.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Objective response rate (ORR)
Objective response rate is the proportion of subjects with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), based on RECIST v1.1.
Measured: Up to approximately 2 years
Occurrence and severity of TEAE (treatment emergent adverse event), TRAE(treatment related adverse event), TESAE (treatment emergent serious adverse event), TRSAE (treatment related serious adverse event)
AEs are graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) V5.0 in the combination treatment regimen.
Measured: From the first dose of the investigational medicinal product (IMP) to the 30-day Safety Follow-Up Visit
Secondary outcomes (5)
Duration of response (DoR)
DoR is defined as the duration from the first documentation of objective response to the first documented disease progression (based on RECIST v1.1) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
Measured: Up to approximately 2 years
Disease control rate (DCR)
DCR is defined as the proportion of subjects with CR, PR, or stable disease(SD) based on RECIST v1.1.
Measured: Up to approximately 2 years
Time to response (TTR)
TTR is defined as the time from the start of the treatment to the first objective tumor response observed for patients who achieve CR or PR (based on RECIST v1.1).
Measured: Up to approximately 2 years
Progression free survival (PFS)
Progression free survival is defined as the time from the start of treatment until the first documentation of disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first (based on RECIST v1.1).
Measured: Up to approximately 2 years
Overall survival (OS)
OS is the time from the date of randomization or first dosing date to death due to any cause.
Measured: Up to approximately 5 years

A Phase 2 study testing PM8002, Chemotherapy Regimen 1 and Chemotherapy Regimen 2 in people with CRC (Colorectal Cancer), run by Biotheus Inc. at 11 sites 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 8 inclusion and 9 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 23 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 11 sites 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 Xuelian Xing (+86 18310237570, xuelian.xing@biontech.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: Up to approximately 2 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 Jul 2026.
