About This Trial

This study is a single-center, prospective, single-arm exploratory study aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of trifluridine/tipiracil in combination with cetuximab in the treatment of third-line and above RAS/BRAF wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer.

Who May Qualify: 1. Patient able and willing to provide written willing to sign a consent form and to comply with the study protocol and follow-up inspection. 2. diagnosed by tissue sample (biopsy-confirmed) metastatic adenocarcinoma of the colon; excluding appendiceal and anal canal cancers. 3. Previously received at least second-line treatment, including two standard treatment regimens (such as fluoropyrimidine, capecitabine, irinotecan, oxaliplatin with or without anti-VEGF or anti-EGFR agents), if previously received first-line anti-EGFR therapy, achieving at least a partial response (PR) or above, with a discontinuation interval of at least one year. 4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1. 5. Measurable disease by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (based on RECIST 1.1 criteria, with the longest diameter of tumor lesions on CT/MRI scan ≥10mm, and the shortest diameter of lymph node lesions on CT/MRI scan ≥15mm). 6. Wild-type RAS/BRAF gene detected. 7. Able to take oral medication. 8. Normal organ function, meeting the following criteria within 14 days before treatment initiation: - Neutrophil count ≥1.5×10\^9/L; - Platelet count ≥75×10\^9/L; - blood count (hemoglobin) at least 9.0g/dL; - Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤2.5×upper limit of normal (ULN) (or ≤5×ULN if liver metastases); - Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤2.5×ULN (or ≤5×ULN if liver metastases); - Total bilirubin ≤1.5×ULN; - Creatinine clearance (calculated by Cockcroft and Gault formula) \>60mL/min or serum creatinine ≤1.5×ULN; 9. Expected survival time \>3 months (90 days). ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Treatments Being Tested

DRUG

Cetuximab

Cetuximab will be administered at a fixed dose of 500 mg/m2 once every 2 weeks;

DRUG

Trifluridine/Tipiracil

Phase I: 1. 6 patients (male and female) will be enrolled to evaluate safety. Patients will receive Trifluridine/Tipiracil at a dose of 35mg/m2 (maximum single dose of 80 mg). Patients will be followed up for Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) (2 Cycles, Day 1-Day 28). If ≤2 patients experience DLTs (2 Cycles, Day 1-Day 28), the study will proceed to Phase II with a dose of 35mg/m2. If ≥3 patients experience DLTs (2 Cycles, Day 1-Day 28), the study will proceed to Phase II with a dose of 30mg/m2. 2. Based on the results of the 35mg/m2 dose group, 6 patients (male and female) will be enrolled in the 30mg/m2 dose group to evaluate safety. Patients will be followed up for DLTs (2 Cycles, Day 1-Day 28). If ≤2 patients experience DLTs (1 Cycle, Day 1-Day 28), the study will proceed with a dose of 30mg/m2 in Phase II. Phase II: Trifluridine/Tipiracil: po, twice daily from Day 1-5, every two weeks, based on the recommended dose from Phase I;
