Can a new drug combo shrink Hard-to-Treat colorectal tumors?

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Expected survival of ≥ 3 months. 2. Tumor tissue specimens must be provided for relevant biomarker testing. If archived tissue specimens are unavailable, a new biopsy must be performed. 3. Pathologically confirmed, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma. 4. At least one measurable lesion according to RECIST v1.1 criteria. Measurable lesions should not have received prior radiotherapy; however, measurable lesions located within a prior radiation field or after local therapy may be selected as target lesions if disease progression is confirmed. 5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 or 1 6. Adequate organ function must be demonstrated. 7. Sexually active males and females of childbearing potential must agree to use highly effective contraceptive measures from the time of signing the informed consent form until 6 months after the last dose of the investigational drug. Females of childbearing potential include premenopausal females and postmenopausal females within 1 year after menopause. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test result ≤ 7 days prior to the first dose and before randomization. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Trial participants with known deficient mismatch repair/microsatellite instability-high (dMMR/MSI-H). 2. Trial participants with synchronous or multiple primary malignancies. 3. Residual toxicity ≥ Grade 2 resulting from prior anti-tumor therapy. 4. Symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or leptomeningeal metastases. 5. History of severe cardiovascular disease. 6. Cerebrovascular accident, pulmonary embolism, or deep vein thrombosis occurring within 3 months prior to the first dose of the investigational drug; thrombosis associated with implanted venous ports or catheters; or superficial vein thrombosis, except for patients with stable thrombosis after standard anticoagulation therapy. Prophylactic use of low-dose low-molecular-weight heparin is permitted. 7. Clinically symptomatic moderate or larger volume pleural, ascitic, or pelvic effusions requiring clinical intervention, or clinically symptomatic pericardial effusion. 8. History of gastrointestinal perforation and/or fistula within 6 months prior to the first dose of the investigational drug that has not healed following surgical treatment; risk of bowel obstruction or bowel perforation; extensive bowel resection; poorly controlled Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or other gastrointestinal autoimmune or inflammatory diseases; presence of pyloric obstruction and/or persistent recurrent vomiting. 9. Active chronic hepatitis B, active hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. 10. Hypersensitivity to any component or excipient of MRG007, or known ≥ Grade 3 hypersensitivity to other prior anti-CDH17 antibodies or other monoclonal antibodies. 11. Body weight loss ≥ 10% during the screening period. Any severe and/or uncontrolled systemic disease that, in the opinion of the investigator and the sponsor, renders the participant unsuitable for participation in this study.
