This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of once-every-three-weeks Cetuximab combined with Capecitabine as maintenance treatment in patients with KRAS/BRAF wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer. It enrolled patients aged 18 and older who had completed first-line induction therapy and whose disease was under control. It was conducted in Phase 1/Phase 2 and has been completed.
The summary above is a plain-language rendering of the official record. The original English title is shown for reference.
Criteria are reproduced from the ClinicalTrials.gov record in the original English. Only the trial team can determine eligibility.
Inclusion Criteria: * Provide a written informed consent form (ICF) before any research procedure is carried out. * Patients must be ≥18 years old and have an expected life span of at least 12 weeks when signing the ICF. * Patients have histologically or cytologically confirmed RAS and BRAF wild-type metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma (mCRC), excluding appendiceal and anal cancers. * After being diagnosed with mCRC, patients have only received cetuximab combined with chemotherapy (FOLFOX or FOLFIRI) as first-line induction therapy. Imaging progression during adjuvant therapy or within 6 months after completion of adjuvant therapy is considered as first-line treatment. * Patients have completed 8 cycles of cetuximab combined with chemotherapy induction therapy and the disease is controlled (including CR/PR and SD). * There is at least one measurable metastatic lesion, defined as per RECIST version 1.1. Patients who have achieved CR without measurable lesions after induction therapy, and those who have achieved no evidence of disease (NED) through R0 resection, interventional ablation, or other local destructive therapies can be included in this study. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1. * Within 7 days before treatment, the following laboratory test values are obtained and appropriate organ function is present: Hemoglobin ≥ 90g/L, neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 × 10\^9/L, platelet count ≥ 75 × 10\^9/L; Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (UNL); Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 × UNL; if there are liver metastases, AST or ALT ≤ 5 × UNL; Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × UNL. * Patients are not allowed to participate in other clinical trials during the study period. * Patients are willing and able to comply with the study protocol and visit plan. Exclusion Criteria: * Excluding adjuvant therapy that ended more than 9 months ago (including oxaliplatin-containing therapy) or more than 6 months ago (excluding oxaliplatin-containing therapy), any chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) other than induction therapy consisting of cetuximab in combination with FOLFOX or FOLFIRI. * Concurrent active malignancy, excluding malignancies with disease-free survival of 5 years or more or in situ carcinoma considered cured after adequate treatment. * Known brain metastases or leptomeningeal metastases. Patients with neurological symptoms should undergo brain CT/MRI to exclude metastases. * Any unresolved toxicities greater than or equal to Grade 2 per the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) caused by previous treatment, excluding alopecia, skin pigmentation, and anemia. Patients with unresolved neurotoxicity greater than or equal to CTCAE Grade 3 caused by platinum-based drugs should be excluded. * Ascites, pleural effusion, or pericardial effusion requiring drainage within the past 4 weeks. * Patients with bowel obstruction, gastrointestinal bleeding, pulmonary fibrosis or interstitial pneumonia, renal failure, liver failure, or cerebrovascular disease. * Uncontrolled diabetes, defined as HbA1c \>7.5% after the use of antidiabetic drugs, or uncontrolled hypertension, defined as systolic/diastolic blood pressure \>140/90mmHg after the use of antihypertensive drugs. * Myocardial infarction within the past 12 months, severe/unstable angina pectoris, or New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV congestive heart failure symptoms. * A history of allergy to any study drugs (such as cetuximab or capecitabine). * Known infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) related diseases, hepatitis B or C. * Autoimmune diseases or a history of organ transplantation requiring immunosuppressive therapy. * Mental illness that may increase the risk associated with participation in the study or interfere with the interpretation of study results. * Received any of the following treatments within a specified time period prior to receiving the study drug: Major surgery within 4 weeks (excluding diagnostic biopsy, surgical incision should be completely healed before administering the study drug). Radiotherapy within 4 weeks. Other anti-tumor treatments or participation in other clinical trials within 4 weeks, except for induction therapy as specified in the protocol. * Pregnant (confirmed by serum human chorionic gonadotropin \[hCG\] test) or lactating women, or women of childbearing potential who plan to become pregnant during the treatment period and within 2 months after the end of cetuximab treatment, or within 6 months after the end of capecitabine treatment. Women of childbearing potential or sexually active men who are unwilling to use contraception during the study period and for at least 2 months after the end of cetuximab treatment, or 6 months after the end of capecitabine treatment. Postmenopausal women must have been amenorrheic for at least 12 months to be considered of non-childbearing potential. * Presence of any other serious illness that, in the investigator's opinion, would preclude the patient's participation in the study.
