EO4010 for Colorectal Cancer
(AUDREY Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment for advanced colorectal cancer that cannot be surgically removed. Researchers are exploring EO4010, a potential new drug, both as a standalone treatment and in combination with drugs like nivolumab and bevacizumab, which assist the immune system in fighting cancer. The trial seeks participants with metastatic colorectal cancer (cancer that has spread) who have tried other treatments and experienced cancer progression within the last three months. Participants must have a specific protein type, HLA-A2, and be able to engage in daily activities without major assistance. As a Phase 1 trial, this research focuses on understanding how EO4010 works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new treatment.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the EO4010 trial?
The trial does not specify if you need to stop your current medications, but it excludes those on certain treatments like high-dose dexamethasone or immunosuppressive drugs. It's best to discuss your specific medications with the trial team.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research shows that EO4010, when used alone, is generally safe. It has been tested with nivolumab, a treatment that helps the immune system fight cancer. Earlier studies found that EO4010 is well-tolerated, with serious side effects being uncommon.
When combined with nivolumab, EO4010 remains safe and supports the immune system. Many patients have tolerated it well. Some studies also added bevacizumab, another cancer treatment, to this combination. Early results indicate this mix is also safe. Most patients did not experience serious side effects, and many had stable disease, meaning their cancer did not worsen.
Overall, EO4010, whether used alone or with other treatments, has demonstrated good safety in studies. Serious side effects are rare, and most patients tolerate the treatment well.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about EO4010 for colorectal cancer because it brings a fresh approach to treatment. Unlike traditional chemotherapy and targeted therapies, EO4010 is explored as a monotherapy and in combination with drugs like nivolumab and bevacizumab. This combination targets the cancer cells differently by potentially enhancing the immune system's ability to fight cancer, offering a new mechanism of action. Additionally, these combinations could lead to more effective treatment regimens with the potential for improved patient outcomes, setting them apart from the current standard of care.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for colorectal cancer?
Research shows that EO4010 has promising results for treating colorectal cancer. In this trial, participants in Cohort 1 will receive EO4010 monotherapy, which earlier studies found triggered specific immune responses against tumors and led to noticeable tumor shrinkage, even in the liver. Participants in Cohort 2 will receive EO4010 combined with nivolumab, a type of immunotherapy; previous studies reported that about 40% of patients were still alive a year after treatment. Cohort 3 will involve EO4010 combined with both nivolumab and bevacizumab, and some patients experienced stable disease, meaning their cancer did not worsen. These findings suggest that EO4010, whether used alone or with other treatments, might effectively manage colorectal cancer.12678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults over 18 with advanced, non-resectable colorectal adenocarcinoma that's HLA-A2 positive. They must have had prior treatment or be unsuitable for standard therapies, have a life expectancy of at least 3 months, and agree to contraception. Exclusions include recent high-dose steroids or chemotherapy, unresolved toxicities, certain abnormal lab values (like low blood counts), active infections including TB/HIV/HBV/HCV, pregnancy/breastfeeding, history of severe allergies to study drug components or autoimmune disorders.Inclusion Criteria
