Plain-language summary
The incidence of colorectal cancer liver metastasis is high and the prognosis is poor. Improving the treatment effect of colorectal cancer liver metastasis is the key to improving the prognosis of colorectal cancer patients. Rigofenib is one of the standard third-line treatments for advanced colorectal cancer, but has limited efficacy. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (PD-L1 monoclonal antibody, PD-1 monoclonal antibody) have achieved good results in the treatment of various malignant tumors. In a mouse transplant tumor model of colorectal cancer, regorafenib combined with PD-1 monoclonal antibody treatment significantly improved the antitumor activity, but the efficacy rate in clinical studies was not very high, especially for liver metastases. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is one of the common methods for the treatment of liver metastases. RFA may improve the immune microenvironment and the efficacy of immunotherapy,and the purpose of this trial is to explore the efficacy and safety of rigofenib and terepliumab combined with RFA in patients with refractory colorectal cancer liver metastasis.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion criteria
. Males and females aged ≥18 years;
. Histologically or cytologically confirmed colon or rectal adenocarcinoma, with unresectable relapsed or metastatic disease;
. Microsatellite stability (MSS) or microsatellite instability-low (MSI-L), or proficient expression of DNA mismatch repair gene (pMMR);
. Patients who have failed, or can not tolerate after previous systemic treatment for relapsed or metastatic colorectal cancer, with no more than 3 months for disease progression after the last systemic treatment. The systemic treatment must contain fluorouracil, oxaliplatin and irinotecan, with or without targeted therapy (bevacizumab, cetuximab, and so on);
. According to the RECIST 1.1 standard, in addition to the lesion to be ablated and the measurable lesion outside the liver, there is at least one measurable lesion in the liver. Measurable lesions were defined as non-lymph node lesions with the longest single diameter ≥ 10 mm, or lymph node lesions with a short diameter ≥ 15 mm;
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
. Good organ function (without blood transfusion, use of hematopoietic stimulating factors, or transfusion of albumin or blood products within 14 days prior to examination):
Exclusion criteria
. Diagnosis of any other malignancy at different primary site or of different histological type from colorectal cancer within 5 years prior to initiation of study treatment, except adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of cervix;
. Microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or deficient expression of DNA mismatch repair gene (dMMR);
. Previous treatment with regorafenib, PD-1/PD-L1/PD-L2 antibody or any other antibody that acts on T cell costimulatory or checkpoint pathways;
. Known allergy to study drug or excipients, or allergy to similar drugs;
. Have received other anti-tumor treatment within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment, or no more than 5 half lives from the last dose;
. Have participated in other clinical study and received drug within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment;
. Have undergone major surgery or open biopsy, or have massive trauma within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment;
. Have received immunosuppressants (excluding inhaled corticosteroids or ≤10 mg/day prednisone or other systemic steroids at equivalent pharmaphysiological dose) within 2 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment;
