Colorectal Cancer Metastatic

Brief summary

The prognosis of most patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) remains poor despite the advancements in chemotherapy and target therapy. CAPability-01 trial investigated the potential efficacy of combining the programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody sintilimab with the histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) chidamide with or without the anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) monoclonal antibody bevacizumab in patients with unresectable chemotherapy-refractory locally advanced or metastatic microsatellite stable/proficient mismatch repair (MSS/pMMR) colorectal cancer. Based on the previous findings of CAPability-01, we will further evaluate the efficacy and safety of sintilimab and chidamide in combination with fruquintinib in the same setting.

Exclusion criteria

1. Unable to comply with the study protocol or procedures; 2. Pregnant or breastfeeding women; 3. Concurrent with any of the following conditions: uncontrolled hypertension, coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, and heart failure; 4. Previous treatment with small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors for metastatic disease; 5. Previous treatment with romidepsin; 6.
