This study is focused on finding better treatment options for people with a specific type of colorectal cancer called MSS/pMMR metastatic colorectal cancer. Researchers are comparing two different combinations of treatments to see which is more effective as a second-line treatment. One group of patients receives a new drug called Ivonescimab (AK112) combined with a standard chemotherapy regimen known as FOLFIRI. The other group receives a currently used treatment, Bevacizumab, along with FOLFIRI. The goal is to determine if the new treatment combination can improve outcomes for patients who have not had success with their initial treatment. Participants in the study are divided into two groups, receiving their respective treatments through intravenous infusions every two weeks. Each treatment cycle involves receiving the medications through a drip directly into the bloodstream. The study continues for up to 24 months or until the disease worsens, serious side effects arise, or if the participant decides to stop. The study will monitor how well the cancer responds to each treatment and any side effects experienced. This information will help doctors understand if the new treatment provides a better and safer option for managing this type of cancer.
