Summary: This is an open-label clinical trial aimed at evaluating the safety and efficacy of the combination treatment of nelmastobart with capecitabine in patients diagnosed with metastatic or recurrent colorectal cancer.

Detailed description: Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and the second most common cancer in women worldwide, with an estimated 1.9 million new cases and 935,000 deaths in 2020, according to the World Health Organization. Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer typically undergo first-line treatment consisting of fluorouracil-based chemotherapy (oxaliplatin and irinotecan) with or without vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-based therapy (primarily bevacizumab), and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeted therapies (in patients with RAS wild-type tumors). Second-line treatment options may include alternative chemotherapy regimens. Third-line treatment options are often limited for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, as they tend to exhibit poor objective response rates and short progression-free survival. However, despite their good performance status, patients often encounter limited options for third-line treatment, resulting in a daunting and frustrating situation. This study will enroll patients aged ≥18 years who are resistant or intolerant to oxaliplatin and irinotecan-based chemotherapy. The study will evaluate the safety of the Nelmastobart and capecitabine combination therapy in Phase 1b. After identifying the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D), the study will assess the efficacy of the Nelmastobart and capecitabine combination therapy in Phase 2.

Serum total bilirubin ≤2.0 x upper limit normal (ULN), if a subject with biliary obstruction is considered suitable if they meet the criteria after appropriate bile drainage. 6. ALT and AST ≤ 3 × ULN, or ≤5 × ULN in the presence of liver metastases. 6. Adequate cardiac function: QTc ≤480 msec; if QTc exceeds 480 msec, subjects can be enrolled if the average QTc value is less than 480 msec by measuring 3 times consecutively in total. 7. The subject is able to swallow and retain oral medication 8. Serum β hCG test negative within 14 days before the first administration of the study treatment (women of childbearing potential only) 9. Requirement for contraception must be observed by the subject. - Eligible women (all women of reproductive potential who are either undergoing clinical trial treatment or within 4 weeks after discontinuing clinical trial treatment, and who are not using appropriate contraception) must use the following contraceptive methods to be eligible for enrollment. - Subjects must abstain from all forms of sexual intercourse and are encouraged to practice consistent abstinence in their daily lives. Periodic abstinence methods (e.g., calendar-based methods, cervical mucus observation, basal body temperature methods, etc.) and withdrawal are not considered acceptable contraceptive methods. - Accepted infertility surgical procedures: Bilateral oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy; Tubal ligation at least 6 weeks before enrollment in this clinical trial. Bilateral oophorectomy is only allowed if the subject's potential for pregnancy is confirmed through hormone level assessment. - In the case of female participants in the clinical trial, their male partners who have undergone vasectomy (screening performed at least 6 months prior) should be their exclusive partners during the participation in this clinical trial - During the clinical trial, male participants should use condoms during sexual intercourse while they are receiving the investigational drug and for up to 1 month after discontinuing the treatment (after the last dose). 10. Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks. Capable and willing to give signed informed consent which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the ICF and in the protocol. 11. Subject has signed the Informed Consent Form (ICF) prior to any screening procedures being performed Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patient has a known or suspicious hypersensitivity to fluoropyrimidines. 2. Any cytotoxic chemotherapy from a previous treatment regimen within 14 days. If the subject received an investigational drug from another clinical trial, the subject can be enrolled after 2 weeks of last administration and more than 5 x half-life of the investigational drug. If monoclonal antibody therapy was given, the subject can be enrolled after four weeks after the last dose. 3. Uncontrolled severe infection 4. Subjects with conditions requiring high doses of steroids (>10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications are excluded, all of the following will not be excluded: 1. Brief (<7 days) use of systemic corticosteroids is allowed when use is considered standard of care. 2. Subjects requiring intermittent use of bronchodilators, inhaled steroids, or local steroid injections will not be excluded. 3. Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) is not considered a form of systemic treatment and is allowed. 5. Subjects who are pregnant or breastfeeding women. 6.
