Note: For subjects who have previously received neoadjuvant therapy, adjuvant therapy, or curative radiotherapy and chemotherapy, if disease progression occurs during or within 6 months after treatment, it is considered that they have received first-line treatment.
  • According to RECIST v1.1, subjects must have at least one measurable lesion. For subjects who have previously received radiotherapy, if there are no other lesions that can be selected as target lesions and there is objective evidence of significant progression after radiotherapy, the irradiated lesions can be considered as target lesions.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AK104 and cetuximab or bevacizumab and FOLFIRI in people with Safety, run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine at 2 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 10 inclusion and 13 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 28 Nov 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 Xuefeng Fang, Dr (0571-87784718, xffang@zju.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

objective response rate (time frame: the proportion of lung cancer patients participating in clinical research who, after receiving treatment, achieve a significant reduction in tumor volume). 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 28 Nov 2025.
