QL1706 Plus Bevacizumab for Unresectable or Metastatic MSI-H/dMMR CRC

This is a single-arm, multi-center, exploratory study evaluating the efficacy and safety of iparomlimab and tuvonralimab (QL1706) in combination with bevacizumab for the treatment of patients with microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer. Eligible participants who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will provide written informed consent and receive QL1706 at 5.0 mg/kg and bevacizumab at 7.5 mg/kg on Day 1 of every 3-week cycle (Q3W), until disease progression or completion of 2 years of treatment. The primary endpoint of this study is objective response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints include disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DoR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), PFS and OS rates at 6, 12, and 24 months, and safety.

  • Willing and able to provide tumor tissue and blood samples for MSI, RAS, BRAF, and PD-L1 testing.
  • Estimated life expectancy of ≥ 12 months.
  • Appropriate laboratory values must be met at screening.
  • Female participants must be non-lactating, and have a negative pregnancy test result prior to enrollment.
  • Participants of childbearing potential must agree to use effective contraception from the time of informed consent until at least 180 days after the last dose of study treatment.

Exclusion criteria

  • Known history of severe allergic reactions to iparomlimab and tuvonralimab or bevacizumab.
  • Active malignancy other than colorectal cancer within 5 years prior to first treatment.
  • Large tumor lesions, especially those previously irradiated, with signs of bleeding.
  • Imaging showing tumor invasion of major blood vessels (e.g., pulmonary artery or superior vena cava), including encasement or invasion of the vessel lumen.
  • Brain metastases (asymptomatic or treated symptomatic brain metastases stable for >4 weeks allowed).
  • Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment.
  • Active pulmonary diseases such as tuberculosis, radiation pneumonitis, drug-induced pneumonitis, or severe pulmonary dysfunction during screening.
  • Requirement for long-term or high-dose NSAIDs (aspirin >325 mg) or anticoagulant therapy.
  • History of severe gastrointestinal events within 6 months prior to first treatment.
  • Severe intestinal obstruction symptoms or signs and unretrieved intestinal stents at screening.
  • Cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases including but not limited to: NYHA class > II heart failure; unstable or severe angina; myocardial infarction or stroke within 6 months; atrial fibrillation or other arrhythmias requiring treatment; symptomatic superior vena cava syndrome; prolonged QT interval (male QT > 450 ms; female QTc > 470 ms); uncontrolled hypertension despite medication (SBP >140 mmHg and/or DBP >90 mmHg) or history of hypertensive crisis or encephalopathy.
