Brief Summary

More than half of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients present with RAS mutations or right-sided primary tumors; however, objective response rates (ORRs) to bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy remain suboptimal. Additionally, approximately 95% of metastatic CRC (mCRC) cases are microsatellite stable (MSS), where immune checkpoint inhibitor monotherapy demonstrates limited efficacy, necessitating combination strategies. Iparomlimab/tuvonralimab is the first bifunctional combination of anti-PD-1/anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibodies, which has shown therapeutic promise in first-line mCRC when combined with bevacizumab and capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (CAPEOX). Nevertheless, whether improved treatment response rates in mCRC patients can lead to higher surgical conversion rates remains unclear. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of iparomlimab/tuvonralimab combined with bevacizumab and CAPEOX as conversion therapy in patients with right-sided or RAS-mutant, MSS, initially unresectable colorectal cancer liver metastasis.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Objective Response Rate

  The proportion of subjects achieving complete response or partial response, assessed by investigators according to RECIST 1.1 criteria.

  Following 3 or 6 cycles (each cycle is ~21 days) of the treatment, approximately 9 or 18 weeks overall

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Surgical Conversion Rate

  Following 3 or 6 cycles (each cycle is ~21 days) of the treatment, approximately 9 or 18 weeks overall

• Major Pathological Response Rate

  Perioperative/Periprocedural

• Progression-free Survival

  From the date of treatment initiation until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 18 months

• Overall Survival

  From the date of treatment initiation until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 18 months

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 79 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• Patients who meet all the following criteria will be included in this study:
• Sign written informed consent before initiating any trial-related procedures;

• Multidisciplinary team (MDT)-confirmed initially unresectable liver metastases (criteria for unresectability: inability to achieve R0/R1 resection via surgery, or anticipated residual liver volume \<30% post-resection, or inability to preserve adequate hepatic inflow/outflow for residual liver). Patients with extrahepatic metastases (excluding brain/bone metastases) amenable to local treatment are eligible;
• Genetic testing results confirming either RAS mutation or right-sided colon location with RAS wild-type status, absence of BRAF V600E mutation, and microsatellite stability (MSS)/proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) confirmed through immunohistochemistry (IHC) or PCR testing.
• ECOG performance status score 0-1;
• Life expectancy ≥12 weeks;
• No indications for emergency surgery due to primary tumor complications including significant bleeding or obstruction;
• Adequate organ function meeting the following laboratory parameters:
• i. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5×10\^9/L without granulocyte colony-stimulating factor support within 14 days; ii. Platelet count (PLT) ≥75×10\^9/L without transfusion within 14 days; iii. Hemoglobin (HGB) \>70 g/L without transfusion or erythropoietin use within 14 days; iv. Total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤1.5×upper limit of normal (ULN); serum albumin (Alb) ≥28.0 g/L; v. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤5×ULN; vi. Serum creatinine ≤1.5×ULN and creatinine clearance (calculated by Cockcroft-Gault formula) ≥60 mL/min; vii. Normal coagulation function: International Normalized Ratio (INR) or prothrombin time (PT) ≤1.5×ULN;
• Fertile female patients or male patients with fertile partners must agree to use highly effective contraception (failure rate \<1% per year) from 7 days before first dose until 24 weeks post-treatment;
• Fertile female patients must have negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days before first dose;

You may not qualify if:

• Patients intolerant to systemic chemotherapy or surgery;
• Liver metastases occurring during or within 6 months after oxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy for the primary tumor;
• Major surgery within 6 weeks before treatment initiation, anticipated requirement for major surgery during the study, or presence of severe traumatic injury, fractures, ulcers, or non-healing wounds;
• History of myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina, coronary artery bypass grafting, or heart failure (NYHA class III-IV) within 3 months before treatment initiation;
• Prior treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (e.g., anti-PD-1/L1, CTLA-4 inhibitors);
• Concurrent or prior malignancies;
• History of autoimmune diseases or allogeneic stem cell/solid organ transplant (excluding corneal transplant) rendering immunotherapy intolerance;
• Moderate-to-severe allergic reactions, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to antibody-based therapies;
• Clinically significant bleeding symptoms or high bleeding risk within 3 months before treatment initiation (e.g., gastrointestinal bleeding, gastroesophageal varices, hemorrhagic gastric ulcer, or history of hematochezia, hematemesis, or hemoptysis);
• Clinically symptomatic ascites/pleural/pericardial effusion requiring therapeutic intervention;
• Primary tumor obstruction, perforation or intra-abdominal infection within 3 months before treatment initiation, without appropriate management;
