微卫星稳定(MSS)转移性结直肠癌对免疫检查点抑制剂普遍耐药,此前的探索主要集中在联合策略与液体活检标志物上。瑞戈非尼联合PD-1抑制剂的美国单中心研究中,18例MSS患者仅5例(31%)获得疾病稳定、13例(69%)进展,且第4周ctDNA上升普遍预示肿瘤进展[2];CO.26研究则显示,组织TMB≥10 mut/Mb不能预测MSS转移性结直肠癌从durvalumab+tremelimumab中获益,而血浆TMB≥28 mut/Mb具有预测价值[1]。ctDNA也被直接前移用作疗效终点:在ctDNA阳性的肝局限型MSS结直肠癌中,bintrafusp alfa以ctDNA清除为主要终点,实际仅入组的4例患者无一清除、研究提前终止[4]。靶点层面,CCR5经体外与动物实验支持为结直肠癌及其肝转移的潜在治疗靶点——阻断CCR5可抑制肿瘤细胞增殖、迁移与克隆形成,早期肝定植阶段CCR5轴显著上调[3]。
这条消息正是CCR5靶向走向临床的一步。AACR 2026年会的壁报环节(下午2–5点,第41区14号壁报)公布2期CLOVER试验的初步结果,方案为CCR5靶向的leronlimab联合口服化疗与VEGF抑制剂富集方案(CLOVER即该方案名称的缩写),发布者称在MSS结直肠癌中观察到“有前景”的ctDNA下降。该试验在ClinicalTrials.gov登记为NCT06699836,为开放标签、随机、双臂、多中心研究,探索leronlimab对总缓解率/总生存及安全性的影响[5];需留意另一项同名CLOVER研究(NCT03509012,durvalumab±tremelimumab的1期试验)与本研究无关[6]。
就推进而言,它把maraviroc等CCR5拮抗手段的证据链从临床前[3]延伸到随机2期临床,并以化疗加抗血管生成的组合去撬动对免疫单药无效的MSS人群[2];以ctDNA动态作为早期读出,也延续了ctDNA变化预测临床结局、ctDNA清除作为终点的既有框架[1][2][4]。对比bintrafusp alfa试验中无一例ctDNA清除[4],CLOVER报告的“下降”能否进一步走到清除乃至生存获益,是接下来的看点。
局限同样清楚:这只是一则会议预告,未提供样本量、缓解率或生存数据,“promising”是发布者的措辞而非同行评议结论;按会议安排,临床试验类摘要将于2026年4月17日正式发表[7],公司另披露更新数据将于2026年10月23–27日的ESMO年会上呈现[8]。ctDNA早期下降能否转化为无进展生存与总生存获益、CCR5阻断在此类人群中的适用边界如何界定,仍是悬而未决的问题。
