No secondary changes of drug resistance |
Drug: Cetuximab Ab; Bevacizumab; Vermofenib + cetuximab;Trastuzumab+lapatinib or trastuzumab+pertuzumab; others
After PD, patients received ctDNA testing, and different research protocols were selected according to different gene states of ctDNA, as follows: 1.No secondary changes related to drug resistance were found. Cetuximab cross-line + second-line chemotherapy (FOLFOX/FOLFIRI/ Irinotecan monotherapy, etc.) was used.2. If there is a RAS secondary mutation, change of beacizumab bead sheet resistance + second-line chemotherapy (FOLFOX/XELOX/stand for kang single-agent FOLFIRI mXEIRI/Iraq, etc.);3. If BRAF secondary mutation occurs, replace it with vimofenib + cetuximab + irinotecan;4. If HER2 amplification occurs, replace it with trastuzumab + lapatinib or trastuzumab + pertuzumab;5. In case of other secondary mutations, bevacizumab plus second-line chemotherapy should be replaced. |

- Objective response rate [ Time Frame: April 10,2021-June 30,2021 ]The percentage of patients whose tumors shrink by a certain amount and remain so for a certain amount of time, including patients with CR and PR.Objective tumor response was assessed using the Response Assessment Criterion for Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1).
- overall survival [ Time Frame: April 10,2021-June 30,2021 ]Time from enrollment to death from any cause.Lost visitors to the last follow-up time.
- progress free survival [ Time Frame: April 10,2021-June 30,2021 ]Patients were randomized to solstice for any recorded time of tumor progression or death from any cause.
- Safety and tolerability [ Time Frame: April 10,2021-June 30,2021 ]NCI -- CTC AE 4.0 will be used to evaluate the clinical safety of the treatment in the study.The incidence of adverse events in the subjects should be assessed at each clinical visit.
- duration of response [ Time Frame: April 10,2021-June 30,2021 ]This is the time between the first assessment of a tumor as CR or PR and the first assessment as PD or death from any cause.
