Overview

This is an investigator-initiated, prospective, multicenter, single-arm phase II clinical study. It aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fractionated liposomal irinotecan (II)-based combination chemotherapy (FOLFIRInali-3) plus bevacizumab (Bev) as second-line treatment for advanced colorectal cancer, with the primary endpoint being objective response rate (ORR).

Eligible subjects will receive second-line treatment with the FOLFIRInali-3 (Liposomal irinotecan (II) fractionated dosing combined with 5-FU/LV) plus bevacizumab (Bev) 。Treatment will be discontinued upon occurrence of any of the following: Disease progression (radiologically confirmed),intolerable toxicity (unmanageable after dose modification), initiation of new antitumor therapy, withdrawal of informed consent or investigator's discretion (based on clinical judgment). Patients received regular and periodic reviews, with imaging evaluations every 6 weeks.

Description

This is an investigator-initiated, prospective, multicenter, single-arm phase II clinical study. It aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fractionated liposomal irinotecan (II)-based combination chemotherapy (FOLFIRInali-3) plus bevacizumab (Bev) as second-line treatment for advanced colorectal cancer, with the primary endpoint being objective response rate (ORR).

Prospective participants must undergo screening assessments within 28 days before randomization to determine eligibility. Eligible subjects will receive second-line treatment with the FOLFIRInali-3 plus bevacizumab (Bev) regimen as follows:

  1. Liposomal irinotecan (II): 30 mg/m² IV on D1 and D3
  2. Fluorouracil (5-FU):
    • 400 mg/m² IV bolus on D1
    • Followed by 2400 mg/m² continuous IV infusion over 46-48 hours
  3. Leucovorin (LV): 400 mg/m² IV infusion on D1
  4. Bevacizumab: 5 mg/kg IV infusion on D1。

Treatment will be discontinued upon occurrence of any of the following:

  1. Disease progression (radiologically confirmed)
  2. Intolerable toxicity (unmanageable after dose modification)
  3. Initiation of new antitumor therapy
  4. Withdrawal of informed consent
  5. Investigator's discretion (based on clinical judgment)

Patients received regular and periodic reviews, with imaging evaluations every 6 weeks.

  6. Expected survival time ≥ 3 months;
  7. Patients must have at least one measurable metastatic lesion according to RECIST version 1.1;

    4. Normal coagulation function, international standardized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 x ULN, prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≤ 1.5 x ULN;
  9. Women of childbearing age must undergo a pregnancy test (serum or urine) with a negative result within 14 days before enrollment, and voluntarily use appropriate methods of contraception during the observation period and within 8 weeks after the last administration of the study drug; For males, surgical sterilization or agreement to use appropriate methods of contraception during observation and within 8 weeks after the last administration of study medication should be considered;
