What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This phase 3 trial is testing whether an experimental immunotherapy called IBI363, combined with the anti-angiogenic drug bevacizumab, can help people with advanced colorectal cancer that has stopped responding to standard treatments. About 550 adults whose cancer has progressed or who cannot tolerate current therapies will receive either the combination or one of three standard options (fruquintinib, trifluridine/tipiracil, or regorafenib). The main goal is to see if the new combination improves overall survival.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a combination of IBI363 (an experimental immunotherapy) and bevacizumab (a drug that blocks blood vessel growth to tumors)
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced colorectal cancer who have run out of standard options.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase 3 trial, so the combination may not prove more effective than existing therapies and could have unexpected side effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria 1. Has signed the written Informed Consent Form and is capable of complying with the visit schedules and relevant procedures specified in the protocol. 2. Aged ≥ 18 years, with no restriction on gender. 3. Histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma. 4. Has experienced treatment failure or intolerance to prior systemic standard therapies administered for metastatic disease, with failure or intolerance occurring on the most recent line of systemic therapy. 5. Has at least one measurable lesion per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1). 6. Colorectal cancer characterized by proficient mismatch repair (pMMR), or microsatellite stable (MSS) status. 7. Confirmed adequate bone marrow and organ function at screening. 8. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) score of 0 or 1. 9. Expected survival duration ≥ 3 months. 10. Female subjects of childbearing potential, or male subjects whose partners are females of childbearing potential, agree to strictly use effective contraceptive measures throughout the treatment period and for 6 months after treatment completion. Lactating female subjects agree to completely refrain from breastfeeding throughout the treatment period and for 6 months after treatment completion. Exclusion Criteria 1. Prior disease progression, treatment intolerance, or contraindication to all three agents: fruquintinib, trifluridine/tipiracil (TAS-102), and regorafenib. 2. Prior receipt of immunotherapy targeting anti-PD-(L)-1 or PD-L2 in the metastatic setting. 3. History of severe toxicities related to anti-PD-(L)-1 immunotherapy or anti-VEGF therapy that necessitated permanent discontinuation of treatment, or contraindication to any of the above agents. 4. Prior administration of interleukin (IL)-2 or IL-15 cytokines. 5. Absence of documented clear evidence to confirm left- or right-sided primary colorectal tumor; or presence of primary colorectal lesions on both sides. 6. Radiologically confirmed active or symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases, including intraparenchymal brain, leptomeningeal, and spinal cord metastases. 7. Subjects with unresolved adverse events attributable to any prior anti-tumor therapy that have not recovered to NCI CTCAE (Version 5.0) Grade 0 or Grade 1, or returned to baseline levels prior to randomization. Exceptions include alopecia, fatigue, hypothyroidism managed solely with thyroid hormone replacement, hyperglycemia controlled exclusively by insulin replacement, electrolyte abnormalities manageable with symptomatic treatment only, and other conditions judged by the Investigator to pose no safety risks with study drug administration. 8. History of another malignant tumor within 5 years before the first dose of study drug. The following malignancies are allowed if curatively resected, with no current evidence of residual or recurrent disease and an extremely low recurrence risk: carcinoma in situ, cutaneous basal cell carcinoma, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, lentigo maligna, localized prostate cancer, papillary thyroid carcinoma, non-invasive papillary urothelial carcinoma. 9. Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic therapy (e.g., disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, corticosteroids, immunosuppressants) within 2 years prior to the first study drug dose. Replacement therapies (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, physiological corticosteroids for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) shall not be regarded as systemic immunosuppressive treatment. 10. Prior history of interstitial lung disease, pulmonary fibrosis, pneumoconiosis, drug-induced pneumonitis, radiation pneumonitis, or other pulmonary disorders requiring corticosteroids or other therapeutic intervention. 11. Active uncontrolled bleeding or known bleeding diathesis; 12. Known history of allogeneic solid organ transplantation or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. 13. Subjects with known or suspected hypersensitivity to the study drug or any of its excipients. 14. Female subjects who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to conceive before study drug administration, during treatment, or within 6 months after the last study drug dose. 15. Any past medical condition, prior treatment, or abnormal laboratory findings, or current clinical evidence that, in the Investigator's judgment, may compromise subject safety, interfere with the acquisition of informed consent, impair subject compliance, or confound the safety evaluation of the study drug; subjects with psychiatric disorders, altered mental status, or substance abuse that impairs the ability to comprehend the informed consent process and/or complete required study assessments; subjects whom the Investigator determines will fail to comply with protocol requirements for known or foreseeable reasons.
