a study of hx008 compared to chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of subjects with msi-h/dmmr metastatic colorectal cancer

Conditions: Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Summary: the main purpose of this study is to compare the clinical benefit, as measured by progression-free survival (pfs), achieved by hx008 or investigator's choice chemotherapy in participants with microsatellite instability high (msi-h) or mismatch repair deficient (dmmr) metastatic colorectal cancer (mcrc).
