Envafolimab Monotherapy or Envafolimab + CAPEOX as Neoadjuvant Therapy for Locally Advanced Colorectal Cancer

April 11, 2024 updated by: Zhen-Hai Lu, Sun Yat-sen University

A Prospective, Single-center, Multi-cohort Study of Envolimab Monotherapy or Envafolimab in Combination With CAPEOX as Neoadjuvant Therapy for Locally Advanced Colorectal Cancer.

There exists substantial evidence suggesting that patients diagnosed with MSI-H/dMMR colorectal cancer can derive benefits from immunotherapy in the management of advanced colorectal cancer. In cases of locally advanced colorectal cancer exhibiting microsatellite instability (dMMR/MSI-H), patients exhibit low responsiveness to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, resulting in minimal rates of complete tumor remission and downstaging. Nevertheless, initial exploratory studies, characterized by modest sample sizes, reveal a favorable therapeutic effect of neoadjuvant immunotherapy in this particular patient population. Envafolimab monoclonal antibody, the first PD-L1 antibody developed and manufactured in China, possesses noteworthy practical and societal value in the context of exploratory clinical research on neoadjuvant immunotherapy for locally advanced MSI-H/dMMR colorectal cancer patients. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of envafolimab monoclonal antibody (PD-L1) as neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced MSI-H/dMMR colorectal cancer through a prospective, multi-cohort phase II clinical trial. Additionally, this study aims to investigate the effectiveness and safety of envafolimab monoclonal antibody in combination with CAPEOX as a neoadjuvant treatment regimen for locally advanced pMMR colorectal cancer.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria
