Can a precision drug outsmart hard-to-treat colorectal cancer?

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

For premenopausal women of childbearing potential, a serum pregnancy test must be performed within 7 days before starting treatment, and the result must exclude pregnancy; they must be non-lactating; all enrolled participants must use adequate barrier contraception throughout the entire treatment period and for 7 months after the end of treatment. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Have undergone surgical treatment, radical radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, etc. within 4 weeks before the first dose; 2. Have previously received ADC drug therapy using camptothecin derivatives as toxins, or have previously received HER2-ADC drug therapy; 3. History of severe cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease within half a year before screening; 4. Concurrent pulmonary disease resulting in severely impaired lung function; 5. Prolonged QTc interval, complete left bundle branch block, third-degree atrioventricular block, or frequent and uncontrolled arrhythmias; 6. Diagnosed with active malignancy within 3 years before study randomization; 7. Any thrombotic event within 6 months before randomization; 8. Hypertension inadequately controlled by two antihypertensive agents; 9. Poorly controlled blood glucose; 10. History of interstitial lung disease (ILD)/interstitial pneumonia, current ILD/interstitial pneumonia, etc.; 11. Trial participants with active central nervous system metastases; 12. Patients with a history of allergy to recombinant humanized antibodies or allergy to any excipient of BL-M07D1; 13. History of autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplantation or organ transplantation; 14. Positive for human immunodeficiency virus antibody, active hepatitis B virus infection, or hepatitis C virus infection; 15. Severe infection occurring within 4 weeks before the first use of the study drug; 16. Patients with massive serous cavity effusion, or symptomatic serous cavity effusion, or poorly controlled serous cavity effusion; 17. Receiving long-term systemic corticosteroid therapy at a dose \>10 mg/day prednisone within 14 days before randomization, etc.; 18. History of severe neurological or psychiatric disease; 19. Severe and non-healing wounds, ulcers, or fractures occurring within 4 weeks before signing informed consent; 20.

Patients planning to receive or having received live vaccines within 28 days before the first dose; 24. Imaging findings indicate that the tumor has invaded or encased major blood vessels in the abdomen, chest, neck, or pharynx; 25. Presence of other serious physical conditions, abnormal laboratory findings, or poor compliance, etc., that may increase the risk of participating in the study, interfere with the study results, or are considered by the investigator as unsuitable for participation in this study.
