Can a new drug combo shrink advanced colorectal tumors?
NCT ID NCT07805551
First seen Sep 04, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether adding an experimental drug called HDM2017 to standard chemotherapy and bevacizumab can safely shrink tumors in people with advanced colorectal cancer. The study includes adults aged 18 to 75 whose cancer has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. Researchers first find the safest dose, then expand the study to measure how well the combination works.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- HDM2017 combined with bevacizumab, oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and capecitabine
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced colorectal cancer, potentially slowing tumor growth and extending survival.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial, so the drug combination may not work as hoped or may cause severe side effects. The results will need confirmation in larger studies before any new treatment becomes available.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Participants must voluntarily participate in this study and sign the written ICF after being fully informed. 2. Male or female participants aged 18 to 75 years (inclusive). 3. Participants with histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable locally advanced or metastatic CRC. 4. Able to provide fresh or archived tumor tissue samples during the screening period. 5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) score of 0 or 1. 6. Life expectancy ≥ 3 months. 7. Participants must have at least one measurable lesion according to RECIST v1.1. 8. Laboratory test results at the screening period must indicate that the participant has adequate organ function. 9. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must agree to use a reasonable method of contraception from the time of signing the ICF until 7 months after the last dose; and must have a negative serum human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) test within 7 days before the first dose. Male participants must agree to use adequate contraception from the first dose until 7 months after the last dose. 10. Participants must be willing and able to complete regular visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, and other study procedures. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Prior or current treatment with topoisomerase I (TOP I) inhibitor drugs. 2. Prior or current treatment targeting CDH17. 3. Presence of other malignant tumor, other than the tumor being treated in this study. 4. AEs from prior therapy that have not resolved to Grade 1 or baseline status before prior therapy. 5. Active central nervous system (CNS) metastasis; metastases to meninges or brainstem metastasis; presence of spinal cord compression. 6. Presence of diseases that may affect the efficacy and safety of the IMP. 7. Known or suspected allergic reaction or contraindication to any component of the IMP or its analogues. 8. Pregnant or lactating women, or those who plan to become pregnant during the study.
