Overview

Previous preclinical study has shown that high levels of ascorbic acid (AA) possesses the ability to kill human colorectal cancer cells and high expression of GLUT3 will augment the efficacy of AA. To date, no previous studies have investigated the combination of therapeutic role of AA and PD-L1 antibody in metastatic colorectal cancer with high expression of GLUT3. This protocol is a randomized controlled study of AA infusions combined with Adebrelimab and FOLFOX +/- bevacizumab versus treatment with FOLFOX +/- bevacizumab alone in metastatic colorectal cancer patients with high expression of GLUT3.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age≥18 years, ≤75 years; Histologically proven peritoneal metastatic adenocarcinoma of colorectal cancer, unresectable metastatic disease; IHC confirmed strong positive GLUT3; measurable disease; Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 to 1; Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks; ANC ≥1,500/mm3; Hemoglobin \> 8g/dL; platelet ≥ 100,000/mm3; Laboratory at baseline evaluation for inclusion in the study: creatinine ≤1.5X upper limit \[if the creatinine is elevated, but ≤1.5X the ULN, a 24 hour creatinine clearance will be obtained, Creatinine clearance \> 50 mL/min (calculated according to Cockroft and Gault)\]; Transaminase (AST/ALT) ≤2.5X upper limit of normal and bilirubin levels ≤1.5X upper limit of normal without liver metastasis; Transaminase (AST/ALT) ≤5X upper limit of normal and bilirubin levels ≤1.5X upper limit of normal with liver metastasis; Written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior treatment for metastatic disease (adjuvant therapy with fluoropyrimidines +/-oxaliplatin based regimens allowed if stopped 12 months prior to registration on study); Surgery (excluding diagnostic biopsy) or irradiation within 3 weeks prior to study entry; Administration of any investigational drug or agent/procedure, i.e. participation in another trial within 4 weeks before beginning treatment; Concurrent chronic systemic immune therapy, chemotherapy, radiation therapy (palliative radiation therapy allowed) or hormone therapy not indicated in the study protocol; Brain metastasis (known or suspected); Pregnant or lactating women; Other uncontrolled concomitant illness, including serious uncontrolled intercurrent infection; Known allergy or any other adverse reaction to any of the drugs or to any related compound; Previous (within 5 years) or concurrent malignancies at other sites with the exception of surgically cured or adequately treated carcinoma in-situ of the cervix and basal cell carcinoma of the skin; Patients with low or moderate expression of GLUT3.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
