About This Trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two dose levels of ONO-4578 with Opdivo® when added to mFOLFOX6 and bevacizumab versus SOC as first-line treatment for advanced CRC.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Colorectal Cancer and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 144 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Colorectal Cancer subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - diagnosed by tissue sample (biopsy-confirmed) advanced (locally advanced or metastatic) colorectal cancer not amenable to curative resection - You should be able to carry out daily activities with 0 level of ability (ECOG 0)-1 - No prior systemic treatment for advanced local or mCRC - Participants whose tumor is positive for PD-L1 expression as determined at a central laboratory Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Participants with high microsatellite instability (MSI-High), or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) tumor - Participants with BRAF V600E mutation - Unable to swallow tablets. - Participants with complication or history of interstitial lung disease, pneumonitis or pulmonary fibrosis - Participants with an active, known or suspected autoimmune conditions (where your immune system attacks your own body). - Prior treatment with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, or anti-CTLA-4 antibody, or any other antibody or drug specifically targeting T-cell co-stimulation or immune checkpoint pathways.

How to Talk to Your Doctor About This Trial

Bring the printable summary of this trial — including the NCT ID (NCT06948448), the sponsor (Ono Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd), and the key eligibility criteria — to your next appointment. Your doctor can review the inclusion and exclusion criteria against your medical history, lab values, and current treatments to assess whether you are likely to qualify. They can also help you weigh whether trial participation makes sense alongside your existing care plan.

Useful questions to walk through together: What does the trial protocol require beyond standard care? How long is the active treatment phase, and how long is follow-up? Are there study visits at sites I can reach? Who pays for the trial-specific procedures, and who pays for standard-of-care portions?
