Brief summary: This study is a prospective, open-label, dual-arm exploratory Phase II clinical trial designed to assess the efficacy and safety of cadonilimab combined with anti-angiogenic agents in patients with dMMR/MSI-H recurrent or metastatic colorectal cancer. Eligible patients are enrolled into two cohorts based on their prior exposure to PD-1/PD-L1 antibody therapy: Cohort A (immune-naive group - patients with no prior PD-1/PD-L1 treatment) and Cohort B (immune rechallenge group - patients who previously received and failed PD-1/PD-L1 therapy). All participants receive combination therapy with cadonilimab and an anti-angiogenic agent, which is selected by the investigator from bevacizumab, regorafenib, or fruquintinib. Treatment continues until the occurrence of intolerable toxicity, disease progression, withdrawal of informed consent, loss to follow-up, death, other conditions deemed by the investigator to warrant discontinuation, or study termination-whichever occurs first. Cadonilimab treatment will not exceed two years. Tumor response is evaluated every six weeks using RECIST v1.1 criteria. Safety is assessed using CTCAE v5.0, and adverse events are recorded from the first dose to 30 days after the end of treatment.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

- Signed written informed consent prior to enrollment. Age 18-80 years. dMMR or MSI-H Diagnosis confirmed by histological examination and/or cytological examination combined with imaging assessment of advanced colorectal cancer.

ECOG score: 0 to 2. At least one measurable lesion (≥10 mm long diameter on CT scan for non-lymph node lesions and ≥15 mm short diameter on CT scan for lymph node lesions according to iRECIST criteria).

Adequate organ function with. Routine blood: Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) 1.5 × 109/L, Platelets (Platelet, PLT) ≥ 100 × 109/L, Hemoglobin (HGB) ≥ 90 g/L.

Renal function: Creatinine (Cr) ≤ 1.5 × ULN, or creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/mi (applying the standard Cockcroft-Gault formula).
