Fruquintinib in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

FRUQUENT is an observational study in Germany. The goal of the study is to evaluate how well Fruquintinib works to treat patients with metastatic colorectal cancer that have previously been treated with available standard therapies. To this end, it will be analyzed how well patients respond to the therapy in the clinical routine. Further points of interest to the study are survival data, safety data, the use of medical care facilities, and the quality of life of patients treated with Fruquintinib. Participants will be treated as decided by the treating physician and according to their routine practice. FRUQUENT is accompanied by a translational research project combining real-world clinical data with foundational research to stratify patient collectives in regards to the therapeutic benefit of fruquintinib.

The Phase-2 CCR5-targeting Leronlimab With Oral Chemotherapy and VEGF-inhibitor Enriched Regimen Trial (CLOVER)

This is an open label, randomized, two arm, multi-center study to explore the effect of leronlimab on the overall response rate/ overall survival and safety and tolerability when used in combination with trifluridine and tipiracil + bevacizumab in patients with MSS, mCRC who have progressed on prior treatment before participating in the study. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Can leronlimab, in combination with standard of care therapies trifluridine and tipiracil+ bevacizumab, increase the objective response rate in persons with MSS, mCRC who have progressed on prior treatment before participating in the study. 2. Is leronlimab safe and well tolerated in these subjects when used in combination with standard of care therapies trifluridine and tipiracil+ bevacizumab.

Phase 1b is planned to evaluate the safety and tolerability of LPM6690176 capsule in combination with chemotherapy and Bevacizumab in patients with RAS mutant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), to observe the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D); Phase 2 is planned to preliminarily evaluate the efficacy of LPM6690176 capsule in combination with chemotherapy + Bev vs. chemotherapy + Bev in patients with previously untreated, RAS mutant mCRC.

Continuation of Cetuximab Beyond First-Line Progression in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

The goal of this Phase 3 clinical trial is to evaluate whether continuing cetuximab treatment beyond first-line progression can improve outcomes in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer whose tumors are RAS and BRAF wild-type. The study will compare the effectiveness of chemotherapy given together with cetuximab versus chemotherapy given together with bevacizumab. Researchers aim to determine whether cetuximab continuation improves tumor response, progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety in this patient population. Eligible participants are adults with metastatic colorectal cancer who have previously responded to first-line treatment with chemotherapy combined with an anti-EGFR antibody. Before starting therapy, patients will undergo molecular testing using liquid biopsy to confirm tumor characteristics. They will then receive chemotherapy with either cetuximab or bevacizumab every two weeks, and their disease will be monitored regularly with CT or MRI scans, laboratory tests, and clinical evaluations. During the study, patients will also provide biological samples for translational research. This trial will enroll about 360 patients across sites in Italy and Spain and is designed to provide new evidence on whether cetuximab continuation beyond first-line treatment can offer a meaningful clinical benefit compared with standard therapy.

A Clinical Study of Arfolitixorin in Patients With mCRC

This is a clinical research study taking place in Germany. Patients with colorectal cancer at a stage of the disease where metastases occur may take part in the study. A maximum of 60 people will participate in the study. There is already a standard therapy for treatment of colorectal cancer. This therapy contains a combination of the medicines leucovorin, fluorouracil, oxaliplatin and bevacizumab. The sponsoring company is developing the new therapy called arfolitixorin. In this study, patients with colorectal cancer will be given arfolitixorin instead of the standard treatment leucovorin. Different patients will receive treatment with different strengths (doses) of arfolitixorin. Treatment with fluorouracil, oxaliplatin and bevacizumab will also be administrated. The researchers want to find out if arfolitixorin could have an advantage over the standard therapy with leucovorin. They also want to investigate which dose of arfolitixorin is the most optimal dose to give to other patients and also to study if arfolitixorin is safe to use. The product being tested, arfolitixorin, like leucovorin, belongs to a group of substances called folates which are naturally occurring forms of a type of B vitamin. Folates are administered in combination with one or more chemotherapeutic agents to enhance their effect on cancer cells. The main mechanism of action of arfolitixorin is the same as that of leucovorin when used together with fluorouracil. However, leucovorin must first be converted into the active form in the body, whereas arfolitixorin already is in the active form. Leucovorin does not work equally well in all patients. By bypassing the metabolic activation of arfolitixorin, it is assumed that arfolitixorin works in a larger number of patients and has a stronger and longer efficacy in cancer treatment together with fluorouracil. However, the efficacy of arfolitixorin has not yet been proven, and the substance has not been approved for the treatment of colorectal cancer. To date, arfolitixorin has been tested by around 420 volunteers and patients with colorectal cancer in different clinical studies. These studies have shown that arfolitixorin is safe and potentially can be of clinical benefit in patients with colorectal cancer when used in combination with fluorouracil, oxaliplatin and bevacizumab. In the largest clinical study completed so far, arfolitixorin was shown to be equally effective compared to standard therapy with leucovorin, but not more effective. Additional results from this study suggested that the dose of arfolitixorin given did not deliver a sufficiently high amount of active substance into the tumor. Therefore, higher doses of arfolitixorin will be tested in this study to possibly achieve a better clinical effect. Further analyses also indicated that high accuracy regarding the timing and duration of the administration of the different treatments is important to achieve better efficacy of arfolitixorin. Based on the available data, and the risk and benefit assessments performed, the Sponsor deems that it is relevant to further investigate the safety and tolerability, as well as the efficacy of arfolitixorin when given in combination with fluorouracil, oxaliplatin and bevacizumab. The proposed study design is believed to address all the main previous findings with the purpose to increase the efficacy with a remaining safety profile. The study is divided into two parts. In the first part, up to five different doses of arfolitixorin will be investigated to find the optimal dose (i.e. the highest and well tolerated) of arfolitixorin as well as the optimal duration time of administration. The second part of the study will be based on the results from the first part. Two doses of arfolitixorin will be tested for safety, tolerability and anti-tumor effect. In the second part, participants will be randomly assigned to one of two dose groups using a computer program. This so-called randomization procedure is comparable to tossing a coin. All patients that participate in the study will receive treatment with arfolitixorin (+ fluorouracil, oxaliplatin and bevacizumab) every 2 weeks. The treatment will be given as an infusion into a vein. The number of treatment administrations that will be given is not predetermined but depends on the progression of the patient's disease.The treatment will continue every 2 weeks as long as the patient benefits from the treatment. During the study period, the patient's disease and potential response to treatment, including shrinkage of the tumor and/or improvement of symptoms, will be monitored by imaging examinations, using so-called computer tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The patient's state of health will also be monitored by physical examinations, and laboratory tests of urine and blood, as well as assessment of any side effects.

AGMT Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Registry (mCRC) Third Line and Beyond

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States and Europe. Although selected patients with oligometastatic CRC undergo systemic therapy and surgery/local ablative therapy in curative intent, the treatment approach for the majority of metastatic CRC (mCRC) patients remains palliative with a median overall survival (OS) ranging between 9-38 months depending on various prognostic and predictive factors. Particularly in advanced stages (in the third line of therapy and beyond), interesting and promising results have recently been achieved with various treatment approaches. The aim of this registry is to establish a disease-specific registry to evaluate the treatment landscape of patients with mCRC who have already received at least two lines of therapy.

XELOX +Bev +Tislelizumab for First-line Treatment of MSS/pMMR RAS-mutated mCRC

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare XELOX +Bev +Tislelizumab with standard chemotherapy，in MSS/pMMR-type RAS-mutated metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma. The main questions it aims to answer are efficacy and safety of the regimen of XELOX +Bev +Tislelizumab. The investigators want to transform ras-mutated colorectal cancer into a "hot tumor" through the combination of anti-vascular therapy and chemotherapy, and then achieve better therapeutic effect through the combination with immunotherapy. Participants will receive the regimen of XELOX +Bev +Tislelizumab.
