Primary endpoint: objective response rate Secondary endpoints: progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and adverse events.
This randomized, multi-center, open-label phase II trial studies the efficacy and safety of irinotecan and cetuximab with or without bevacizumab plus sintilimab in the treatment for RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (mCR) in third- or later-line setting. Patients with refractory mCRC have limited treatment options after failure of standard chemotherapies and anti-angiogenic agents. The BOND-3 trial showed that adding bevacizumab to cetuximab and irinotecan may improve outcomes in this setting. Meanwhile, programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors have demonstrated activity in MSI-high tumors but have limited efficacy in MSS mCRC. Preclinical and clinical evidence suggests that anti-VEGF therapy can modulate the tumor immune microenvironment and may synergize with PD-1 blockade. This study therefore tests whether the quadruple combination (bevacizumab + sintilimab + cetuximab + irinotecan) can improve objective response rate compared with cetuximab and irinotecan alone in this heavily pretreated population. The primary efficacy analysis will be conducted on the intention-to-treat population. Assuming an ORR of 11% in the control arm and 26% in the experimental arm, with a one-sided alpha of 0.05 and power of 80%, the required sample size is approximately 160 to account for 5% dropout.
