Can a Two-Pronged antibody boost chemo against Hard-to-Treat colorectal cancer?
NCT ID NCT07133750
First seen Jul 23, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase II trial is testing whether adding an experimental drug called PM8002 (pumitamig) to standard chemotherapy can shrink tumors in people with a common type of metastatic colorectal cancer that has not been treated before. PM8002 is a bispecific antibody designed to block two cancer-promoting pathways at once. The study will enroll about 100 adults whose cancer is not the MSI-H type, which typically does not respond well to immunotherapy alone.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a bispecific antibody called PM8002 (also known as BNT327 or pumitamig) combined with chemotherapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a new first-line treatment option for people with a common form of metastatic colorectal cancer that currently has limited immunotherapy options.
- What could go wrong
- This is a phase II trial with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug combination may cause side effects, and it is too early to know if it will improve survival.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. Signed informed consent form before any trial-related processes. 2. Age ≥ 18 years male or female. 3. Histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic colorectal cancer (stage IV, UICC/AJCC staging system) that is not suitable for or cannot be radically resected surgically. 4. Participants must not have dMMR or MSI-H. 5. No prior systemic anti-tumor therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer. 6. have adequate organ function. 7. The investigator confirms at least one measurable lesion according to RECIST v1.1. A measurable lesion located in the field of previous radiation therapy or after local treatment may be selected as a target lesion if progression is confirmed. 8. The Eastern Cancer Cooperative Group (ECOG) performance score of 0 or 1. Key Exclusion Criteria: 1. Received the following treatments or medications prior to starting study treatment: 1. Received palliative local therapy, non-specific immunomodulatory therapy, or chineses herbal therapy with an anti-tumor indication within 14 days prior to study treatment. 2. Treatment with systemic glucocorticoids (prednisone \>10 mg/day or equivalent dose of other glucocorticoids) or other immunosuppressive agents within 14 days prior to initiation of study treatment. Note: treatment with local, intraocular, intra-articular, intranasal, and inhaled glucocorticosteroids and short-term prophylactic use of glucocorticoids (e.g., to prevent allergy to contrast agent) are allowed. 2. Have a major coagulation disorder or other evidence of significant bleeding risk. 3. Adverse effects of prior antitumor therapy have not returned to a CTCAE 5.0 grade rating of ≤ grade 1 4. Have a serious non-healing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture. 5. History of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or abdominal abscess, history of gastrointestinal obstruction, or clinical signs of gastrointestinal obstruction within 6 months prior to initiation of study treatment. 6. Severe uncontrollable intra-abdominal inflammation that requires clinical intervention, in the judgment of the investigator. 7. Have uncontrolled hypertension or poorly controlled diabetic conditions prior to study treatment.
