Brief Summary

This is a single-arm, single-center, prospective phase I/II study that received standard first-line chemotherapy (FOLFOX,FOLFIRI,XELOX, FOLFOXIRI± targeted therapy). If the first-line chemotherapy regimen is a 2-week regimen, patients need to undergo ≥8 cycles of standard chemotherapy. If the first-line chemotherapy regimen is a 3-week regimen, maintenance therapy is required for patients with unresectable advanced metastatic colorectal cancer who have reached CR,PR,SD (RECIST 1.1) after standard chemotherapy after ≥4 cycles.

The eligible patients were screened for maintenance treatment. Maintenance therapy research is divided into the following two phases:

Phase IIB fuquinitinib combined capecitabine dose exploration trial (n=6-9) : Phase II: Dose extension trial (n=47) : 47 patients were continued to be enrolled in the dose extension phase trial according to the recommended dose of fuquinitinib combined with capecitabine established in phase iB, and were treated until toxicity became intolerable or disease progression.

Conditions

Study Groups

Capecitabine combined with fuquitinib

Phase Ⅰb dose exploration trial of fuquinitinib combined with capecitabine (n=6-9) :

1. Capecitabine: 1000 mg/m² orally, twice a day on days 1-21 of each cycle, 28 days for one treatment cycle.

2. Fuquinitinib: 1 to 21 days per cycle, orally, once a day, 28 days for a treatment cycle. There are two dose gradients of fuquintinib: 2mg/d, and the initial dose of 3mg/d is 2mg/d. According to the 3+3 dose climbing principle, dose exploration is carried out in the order of 2mg/d→3mg/d, The recommended dose of fuquinitinib combined with capecitabine, as determined in phase I b, continued to enroll 47 patients in the dose-expansion phase trial until the patient became intolerant of toxicity or disease progression.

According to the 3+3 dose climbing principle, dose exploration is carried out in the order of 2mg/d→3mg/d, as follows:

Phase II: Dose extension trial (n=47) :

The recommended dose of fuquinitinib combined with capecitabine, as determined in phase I b, continued to enroll 47 patients in the dose-expansion phase trial until the patient became intolerant of toxicity or disease progression.
