What to Expect as a Participant

You will actively receive the study intervention — which may be a drug, biologic, device, or procedure.

In Phase 2, researchers evaluate early signs of effectiveness. You may be randomized to receive the active treatment or a comparator. Monitoring continues closely.

This trial targets 96 participants in total. It began in 2024-04-01 with a primary completion date of 2026-12.

Brief Summary

TORCH-M is a prospective, single-arm, two-cohort, investigator-initiated phase II trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of standard systemic therapy in combination with high/low-dose radiotherapy plus toripalimab in paitents with microsatellite stable metastatic colorectal cancer (MSS mCRC). Eligible patients will be assigned to two cohorts according to previous treatment: a first-line cohort A and a second-line cohort B. Patients in both arms will first receive one cycle of standard systemic therapy and toripalimab, followed by high/low-dose radiotherapy, and then continue with standard systemic therapy and toripalimab.The survival benefits, response rates, and adverse effects will be analyzed.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: Age between18 and 75 years old. An Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤1. Histopathological confirmed MSS/pMMR adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum. At least one evaluable metastatic lesion for radiotherapy and evaluation according to RECIST 1.1.
