Fruquintinib Plus Anti-EGFR Antibody for Third-Line Treatment of RAS Wild-Type mCRC
A Phase II Study of Fruquintinib Combined With Anti-EGFR Monoclonal Antibody in Third-Line Treatment of RAS Wild-Type Metastatic Colorectal Cancer
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of combining fruquintinib (an oral anti-angiogenesis drug) with cetuximab-beta (an anti-EGFR antibody) in patients with RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer who have already failed at least two lines of standard treatments.
Standard therapies for metastatic colorectal cancer often include fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan. However, many patients eventually experience disease progression, and treatment options become limited. Fruquintinib and cetuximab-beta work through different mechanisms: fruquintinib blocks tumor blood vessel growth, while cetuximab-beta blocks EGFR-related cancer cell growth signals. Using these two drugs together may provide additional benefit for patients whose cancer no longer responds to other treatments.
This study will enroll 46 patients who meet the eligibility criteria. All participants will take fruquintinib by mouth once daily (3 weeks on and 1 week off) and receive cetuximab-beta by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks. Treatment will continue until the cancer progresses or side effects become intolerable.
Doctors will monitor tumor changes every 8 weeks using CT or MRI scans and will also collect blood samples over time to measure circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), which may help track how the cancer responds to treatment. Safety will be assessed through physical exams, lab tests, and monitoring of side effects.
The main goal of the study is to determine the objective response rate (ORR)-how many patients experience measurable tumor shrinkage. Secondary goals include progression-free survival (PFS), disease control rate (DCR), overall survival (OS), and safety outcomes.

実験的:Fruquintinib Plus Cetuximab-beta
|
Patients receive fruquintinib 5 mg orally once daily for 3 consecutive weeks followed by 1 week off in a 4-week cycle.
Cetuximab-beta is administered intravenously at 500 mg/m² every 2 weeks.
Treatment continues until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or investigator decision.
Tumor assessments are performed every 8 weeks using RECIST 1.1 criteria.
Safety is monitored through physical examinations, laboratory tests, vital signs, ECG, echocardiography, and adverse event reporting.
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is collected at baseline, every 8 weeks during treatment, at progression, and 4-6 weeks after progression to evaluate molecular response and resistance dynamics.
The regimen is designed for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who previously failed standard fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan-based therapies and who have RAS wild-type tumors.
