Interventions

• QL1706 (Iparomlimab/Tuvonralimab) — DRUG
  Patients receive SBRT for 1-3 liver metastases (each lesion \<3 cm) at a dose of 50 Gy in 5 fractions. For lesions adjacent to the liver capsule, portal vein or bile duct, the target volume is expanded by 5-10 mm beyond the visible lesion margin. One week after radiotherapy, patients are treated with QL1706 (Apalitamab-Tovorizumab; 5 mg/kg, iv, Q3W) combined with CAPOX plus bevacizumab. Patients receive up to 6 preoperative 3-week treatment cycles, with efficacy evaluation performed every 2 cycles. The investigator or MDT team decides subsequent management, including curative treatment (surgical resection or radiofrequency ablation of liver metastases with synchronous or staged intestinal lesion resection) or continuous conversion therapy. Surgery is scheduled 6 weeks after the last bevacizumab dose. One additional cycle of QL1706 plus CAPOX may be given during the preoperative waiting period, with a 2-3-week interval between the end of chemoimmunotherapy and surgery.

Study Details

This is a single-arm clinical study aiming to enroll 30 colon cancer patients with liver-only metastases. All eligible participants will undergo screening and enrollment after signing the informed consent form. All patients will receive stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) targeting 1 to 3 liver lesions (each \< 3 cm) at a total dose of 50 Gy delivered in 5 fractions. For lesions adjacent to the liver capsule, portal vein or bile duct, the target volume can be expanded by 5-10 mm outside the visible lesion boundary. One week after radiotherapy completion, patients will be treated with QL1706 (Apalitamab-Tovorizumab, 5 mg/kg, iv, Q3W) combined with CAPOX plus bevacizumab. Preoperative treatment consists of up to 6 cycles, with each cycle lasting 3 weeks. Efficacy assessment will be conducted every 2 cycles. The investigator or multidisciplinary team (MDT) will decide to initiate curative treatment (surgical resection or radiofrequency ablation of liver metastases, combined with synchronous or staged resection of primary colon lesion) or continue conversion therapy. Surgery shall be scheduled 6 weeks after the final dose of bevacizumab. During the preoperative waiting period, one extra cycle of QL1706 (5 mg/kg, iv, Q3W) plus CAPOX is permitted. The interval between the last immunochemotherapy administration and surgery is required to be 2-3 weeks. Adjuvant therapy is scheduled to start 3 weeks after surgery, and must be initiated no later than 2 months postoperatively. The investigator will determine the use of QL1706 and/or bevacizumab in adjuvant setting according to individual patient conditions. If the time from surgery to adjuvant therapy is less than 4 weeks, the first postoperative cycle will use QL1706 (5 mg/kg, iv, Q3W) combined with CAPOX only. Postoperative QL1706 maintenance treatment will not exceed 1 year. Patients receiving postoperative systemic adjuvant chemotherapy will complete 8 cycles of perioperative CAPOX with or without bevacizumab. Patients with progressive disease (PD) or those who fail conversion therapy within 18 weeks will switch to alternative systemic regimens in accordance with the 2025 guidelines issued by the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN). CAPOX + bevacizumab regimen (repeated every 3 weeks): Oxaliplatin: 130 mg/m², intravenous infusion over 2 hours, d1; Capecitabine: 1000 mg/m² per dose, po, bid, d1-14; Bevacizumab: 7.5 mg/kg, ivgtt, d1.

Surgery is scheduled 6 weeks after the last bevacizumab dose. One additional cycle of QL1706 plus CAPOX may be given during the preoperative waiting period, with a 2-3-week interval between the end of chemoimmunotherapy and surgery.
