Phase I/II study of trifluridine/tipiracil plus XB2001 versus trifluridine/tipiracil in metastatic colorectal cancer

Abstract

Aim: Trifluridine/tipiracil-bevacizumab is a standard of care in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) after chemotherapy failure. We aim to assess the addition of XB2001 (anti-IL-1 alpha monoclonal antibody) plus trifluridine/tipiracil-bevacizumab in mCRC refractory to standard chemotherapy.Methods: This multicenter, randomized, double blind, non-comparative Phase I-II study (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05201352) will assess the efficacy and safety of trifluridine/tipiracil-bevacizumab and XB2001 in patients with mCRC previously treated for metastatic disease by chemotherapy treatment including oxaliplatin, irinotecan, 5-FU, antiangiogenic and/or anti-EGFR if indicated. Primary end point of Phase I is the safety according to the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of XB2001. Primary end point of Phase II is the efficacy of trifluridine/tipiracil-bevacizumab + XB2001 in term of 6-month overall survival. Ancillary analysis will be performed.
