This trial is a single-arm, open-label, exploratory first-in-human clinical study designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of HNF4α srRNA injection in patients with locally unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer, and to preliminarily explore its effectiveness in treating metastatic colorectal cancer.
This study will administer HNF4α srRNA via intravenous injection to treat locally unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer. The second treatment will be conducted 14 ± 3 days after the initial treatment, with subsequent treatment cycles every 28 ± 7 days (the dosing interval will be adjusted based on the tolerability, safety, and therapeutic effect of the subjects). The dose-escalation trial will employ the i3+3 design method, with three dose groups, tentatively setting the injection dose of HNF4α srRNA at 25 μg, 50 μg, and 100 μg per administration, and each group is expected to include up to 3 subjects.
According to Amendment 1, after enrollment, the investigator will determine the HNF4α srRNA dose, whether to combine it with immunotherapy, and the dose and schedule of the combination, based on the patient's treatment history and the safety/efficacy data of HNF4α srRNA (CD-801/CD-GA-102) administered via peripheral vein for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), or colorectal cancer (CRC). Participants initially on HNF4α srRNA monotherapy who are considered for combination with immunotherapy must complete at least two treatment cycles and the post - treatment safety assessment. Then, the investigator can decide whether to add immunotherapy after a comprehensive review of their treatment history.

Exclusion Criteria:
Patients with any of the following criteria were excluded from participation in this study
The subjects with metastatic colorectal cancer will be treated by HNF4α srRNA intravenously via a peripheral vein. According to Amendment 1, the HNF4α srRNA preparation CD-801 used in the original protocol will expire on December 31, 2024. For participants receiving treatment after this date, the preparation will be switched to CD-GA-102, with the treatment dose converted on a 1:1 basis.
Drug: HNF4α srRNA
HNF4α srRNA will be administered intravenously for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. The dosing regimen is planned for a second dose 14 ± 3 days post-initial treatment, followed by subsequent treatments every 28 ± 7 days, with adjustments made based on patient tolerance and therapeutic response. According to Amendment 1, after enrollment, the investigator will determine the HNF4α srRNA dose, whether to combine it with immunotherapy, and the dose and schedule of the combination, based on the patient's treatment history and the safety/efficacy data of HNF4α srRNA administered via peripheral vein for hepatocellular carcinoma, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, or colorectal cancer. Participants initially on HNF4α srRNA monotherapy who are considered for combination with immunotherapy must complete at least two treatment cycles and the post - treatment safety assessment.
To evaluate the tolerability and safety for intravenous HNF4α srRNA in subjects with metastatic colorectal cancer
Safety and tolerability are assessed based on the incidence of Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) within 14 days post-initial drug administration, along with the frequency and severity of adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and events leading to treatment discontinuation throughout the treatment period, all evaluated using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5.0. According to Amendment 1, the primary endpoint has been amended from assessing the incidence and severity of DLTs, adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and AEs leading to treatment discontinuation (evaluated per NCI-CTCAE 5.0) with HNF4α srRNA therapy to assessing these outcomes for both HNF4α srRNA monotherapy and combination therapy.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 years
To assess the objective response rate (ORR) by RECIST v1.1
To assess the proportion of subjects who have best overall response of complete response or partial response at the time of data cutoff based on RECIST v1.1. According to Amendment 1, the secondary endpoint has also been updated from evaluating the ORR per RECIST v1.1 with HNF4α srRNA therapy to evaluating the ORR for both monotherapy and combination therapy with HNF4α srRNA per RECIST v1.1.
Time frame: From the first study dose date until the date of documented complete response or partial response, assessed up to 24 months.
Duration of response based on RECIST v1.1
To assess the time from the first documentation of complete response or partial response to the date of first documentation of disease progression or death (whichever occurs first) based on RECIST v1.1

Patient Reported Outcome-1
the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30). The maximum and minimum values of the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire depend on the specific items and domains. For items with 7 levels, the maximum value is 7 points, and the minimum value is 1 point; for items with 4 levels, the maximum value is 4 points, and the minimum value is 1 point. In the standardized scores, the theoretical maximum score is 100 points, and the minimum score is 0 points. However, under normal circumstances, a higher score does not always represent a better outcome, as the interpretation of the scores needs to be based on the specific items and domains of the scale.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 years
Patient Reported Outcome-2
Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Cololrectal Cancer (FACT-C). Each item has 5 levels, ranging from none to extreme. For assessments of functioning and overall health status, a higher score indeed indicates better patient conditions. However, for some symptom scales, such as pain or fatigue, a higher score actually signifies more severe issues.
Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 2 years
Patient Reported Outcome-3
The Generic Euroquol Five Dimension Five Level (EQ-5D-5L) Questionnaire. The EQ-5D-5L includes five dimensions: Mobility, Self-care, Usual Activities, Pain/Discomfort, and Anxiety/Depression, each with 5 levels ranging from \'No problems\' to \'Unable to perform/Extremely severe\'. In addition, there is a Visual Analogue Scale (EQ VAS), which ranges from 0 (the worst health state you can imagine) to 100 (the best health state you can imagine). The EQ VAS score reflects an individual assessment of their overall health status. The scores of the EQ-5D-5L are not necessarily better when they are higher, as they reflect the individual health status relative to societal preferences.
