HSK42360-Na Tablets Combined With Cetuximab With or Without Chemotherapy in BRAF V600-Mutant Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Recruiting nowPhase 2

What this trial is trying to do

The researchers are testing whether HSK42360-Na tablets can be given with cetuximab, an EGFR-targeting drug, with or without standard chemotherapy, in metastatic colorectal cancers carrying a BRAF V600 mutation. The early part of the trial will find a tolerable dose; later groups will look for early signs of tumour control as well as safety.

The idea is that adding HSK42360-Na to cetuximab, alone or with mFOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI chemotherapy, might control BRAF V600-mutant cancer better than cetuximab-based treatment alone. In this trial, the main test is whether the combination can be given safely, measured chiefly by dose-limiting toxicities; tumour response and how long the cancer stays controlled are secondary questions.

Worth knowing: This is an open-label, single-arm early-phase trial with no comparison group, so it is mainly testing safety and dose rather than showing that the treatment helps people live longer.

What is being tested

  • Drug HSK42360-Na Tablets
  • Drug Cetuximab (EGFR inhibitor)
  • Drug mFOLFOX6 Regimen (Oxaliplatin/Leucovorin/5-FU)
  • Drug FOLFIRI Regimen (Irinotecan/Leucovorin/5-FU)

What it is measuring

dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs)

This is the trial's main question — the one it is designed and sized to answer. Anything else it reports is a secondary finding, and secondary findings are far more likely to be chance.

Phase 2. Tests whether the treatment works well enough to be worth a larger trial. Usually too small to prove it changes survival.

How the researchers describe it

This is a Phase I/II, single-arm, open-label, multi-center study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of HSK42360-Na tablets combined with cetuximab with or without chemotherapy in patients with BRAF V600-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The Phase I stage uses a 3+3 dose escalation design to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) of HSK42360-Na in combination with cetuximab. The Phase II stage evaluates the efficacy and safety of HSK42360-Na combined with cetuximab alone or with mFOLFOX6/FOLFIRI chemotherapy in expansion cohorts.

Who the trial is looking for

Inclusion Criteria

1. Age ≥18 years; voluntarily participate in this clinical trial, understand the study procedures, and have signed the informed consent form;

2. ECOG performance status 0-1;

3. Estimated survival time >3 months;

4. Histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic and unresectable colorectal adenocarcinoma. For Phase I, Phase II Cohort 1, and the safety lead-in period of Cohorts 2/3: previously received one or more systemic treatments for metastatic colorectal cancer, and failed standard treatment, or have no standard treatment option, or standard treatment is not applicable at this stage; for the subsequent expansion phase of Phase II Cohorts 2/3: no prior systemic treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer;

5. Genetic testing documentation (limited to PCR or NGS-based assays) must be provided prior to enrollment to demonstrate BRAF V600 mutation positivity;

6. Agree to provide tumor tissue and/or blood samples;

7. At least one measurable lesion according to RECIST 1.1 criteria;

8.

Individual hospitals, and whether each is currently open, are listed on the registry record. Sites open and close throughout a trial.

Worth asking your oncology team

Being listed here is not a recommendation, and no one page can tell you whether a trial is right for you. These are the questions it raises.

  • Is this trial open at a hospital I could realistically travel to?
  • Given my stage, my previous treatment and my tumour's molecular profile, would I be eligible?
  • What would I be giving up by joining — is the comparison arm the treatment I would otherwise be having?
  • What is already known about the safety of what is being tested?
