PD-1 Antibody Combined With COX Inhibitor in MSI-H/dMMR or High TMB Colorectal Cancer

• Status: Recruiting

• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

PD-1(programmed death protein 1)antibody has been to approved in patients with MSI-H/dMMR advanced cancer and has achieved significant efficacy. It is reported that the objective response rate of Pembrolizumab and Nivolumab are 40% and 31.1% in MSI-H/dMMR (microsatellite instability-high/deficiency mismatch repair )colorectal cancer. What's more, most of the patients who had response for PD-1 antibody achieved a long duration of disease control. However, not all patients with MSI-H/dMMR was sensitive to PD-1 antibody despite it is a biomarker for PD-1 antibody treatment. There were about 50-60% of patients with MSI-H/dMMR were insensitive and we don't know why. What's more, it's reported that tumor mutation burden (TMB) may be another biomarker of response to PD-1 therapy. COX (cyclooxygenase)inhibitor has been proved to prevent adenomas in colorectal and it is safe for most of the patients. Preclinical models also showed that COX inhibitor could act with PD-1 antibody in mice and control disease progress. So, this study aims to evaluated efficacy and safety of combination of PD-1 antibody and COX inhibitor in patients with MSI-H/dMMR or high tumor mutation burden colorectal cancer.
