Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: RECRUITING
• Clinical Phase: PHASE2
• Total Enrollment: 20 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2025-06-01
• Study Completion Date: 2028-06-30

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab combined with bevacizumab and FOLFIRI (IB-FOLFIRI) is safe and effective in treating adults with BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does IB-FOLFIRI improve clinical outcomes compared with historical outcomes in this population?

What is the safety profile of IB-FOLFIRI in patients with BRAF V600E-mutant mCRC?

Participants will:

Receive Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab, bevacizumab, and FOLFIRI every two weeks

Have blood samples and/or tumor tissue collected for biomarker analysis (e.g., ctDNA sequencing)

Undergo regular imaging and clinical evaluations to assess treatment response and safety

Detailed Description

This is a single-arm, phase II clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab plus bevacizumab combined with FOLFIRI (IB-FOLFIRI) in patients with BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Patients with this genetic subtype have limited treatment options and a poor prognosis, underscoring the urgent need for more effective therapeutic strategies.

This study will generate prospective clinical data on the efficacy and safety of the IB-FOLFIRI regimen in a genetically defined subgroup of colorectal cancer. Furthermore, exploratory biomarker analyses may provide new insights into resistance mechanisms, potentially guiding future precision-medicine strategies for BRAF V600E-mutant mCRC.
