First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a new immunotherapy drug (aipalolitovorelizumab) combined with standard chemotherapy and bevacizumab in 30 people with metastatic colorectal cancer that has a BRAF V600E mutation and is MSS/pMMR type. The goal is to see if the combination shrinks tumors and controls the disease longer. Participants will receive the drugs intravenously and orally in cycles, followed by maintenance therapy.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

aipalolitovorelizumab (QL1706) combined with bevacizumab and chemotherapy (oxaliplatin, irinotecan, fluorouracil, capecitabine)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a new first-line treatment option for people with a hard-to-treat form of colorectal cancer that has spread.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study with only 30 participants and no comparison group, so results may not apply broadly. The combination therapy may cause significant side effects.
