About this study
This is a single-arm clinical study aiming to enroll 30 colon cancer patients with liver-only metastases. All eligible participants will undergo screening and enrollment after signing the informed consent form.
All patients will receive stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) targeting 1 to 3 liver lesions (each < 3 cm) at a total dose of 50 Gy delivered in 5 fractions. For lesions adjacent to the liver capsule, portal vein or bile duct, the target volume can be expanded by 5-10 mm outside the visible lesion boundary. One week after radiotherapy completion, patients will be treated with QL1706 (Apalitamab-Tovorizumab, 5 mg/kg, iv, Q3W) combined with CAPOX plus bevacizumab.
Read more
Preoperative treatment consists of up to 6 cycles, with each cycle lasting 3 weeks. Efficacy assessment will be conducted every 2 cycles. The investigator or multidisciplinary team (MDT) will decide to initiate curative treatment (surgical resection or radiofrequency ablation of liver metastases, combined with synchronous or staged resection of primary colon lesion) or continue conversion therapy. Surgery shall be scheduled 6 weeks after the final dose of bevacizumab. During the preoperative waiting period, one extra cycle of QL1706 (5 mg/kg, iv, Q3W) plus CAPOX is permitted. The interval between the last immunochemotherapy administration and surgery is required to be 2-3 weeks.
Adjuvant therapy is scheduled to start 3 weeks after surgery, and must be initiated no later than 2 months postoperatively. The investigator will determine the use of QL1706 and/or bevacizumab in adjuvant setting according to individual patient conditions. If the time from surgery to adjuvant therapy is less than 4 weeks, the first postoperative cycle will use QL1706 (5 mg/kg, iv, Q3W) combined with CAPOX only. Postoperative QL1706 maintenance treatment will not exceed 1 year. Patients receiving postoperative systemic adjuvant chemotherapy will complete 8 cycles of perioperative CAPOX with or without bevacizumab.
Patients with progressive disease (PD) or those who fail conversion therapy within 18 weeks will switch to alternative systemic regimens in accordance with the 2025 guidelines issued by the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN).
CAPOX + bevacizumab regimen (repeated every 3 weeks):
Oxaliplatin: 130 mg/m², intravenous infusion over 2 hours, d1; Capecitabine: 1000 mg/m² per dose, po, bid, d1-14; Bevacizumab: 7.5 mg/kg, ivgtt, d1.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
QL1706 (Iparomlimab/Tuvonralimab)Drug
Patients receive SBRT for 1-3 liver metastases (each lesion <3 cm) at a dose of 50 Gy in 5 fractions. For lesions adjacent to the liver capsule, portal vein or bile duct, the target volume is expanded by 5-10 mm beyond the visible lesion margin. One week after radiotherapy, patients are treated with QL1706 (Apalitamab-Tovorizumab; 5 mg/kg, iv, Q3W) combined with CAPOX plus bevacizumab.
Patients receive up to 6 preoperative 3-week treatment cycles, with efficacy evaluation performed every 2 cycles. The investigator or MDT team decides subsequent management, including curative treatment (surgical resection or radiofrequency ablation of liver metastases with synchronous or staged intestinal lesion resection) or continuous conversion therapy. Surgery is scheduled 6 weeks after the last bevacizumab dose. One additional cycle of QL1706 plus CAPOX may be given during the preoperative waiting period, with a 2-3-week interval between the end of chemoimmunotherapy and surgery.

Measured: 1 month postoperatively
Disease Free Survival
Time from surgery to the first documented disease recurrence (local, regional, or distant) or death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years postoperatively.
Measured: 5 years postoperatively
overall survival
Time from study enrollment to death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years after study completion.

Patient-reported health-related quality of life measured using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30), including global health status and functional scales, administered at baseline and scheduled follow-up time points up to 5 years after study completion.
Measured: 5 years after study completion
Adverse Events
Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are defined as any untoward medical occurrence that develops or worsens in severity after the start of study treatment, up to 30 days following surgical resection. All events will be graded for severity using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 6.0, and categorized by system organ class.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing QL1706 (Iparomlimab/Tuvonralimab) in people with Colon Cancer and Synchronous Liver Metastases, run by Fujian Medical University 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 16 inclusion and 23 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jun 2026. 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 Xi Shi, MD (+8613960769368, sxi1991@fjmu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Rate of R0 Resection and Complete Ablation (time frame: 1 month postoperatively). 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 16 Jun 2026.
