The study will start in December 2025 with a planned enrollment of 1,046 cases.The purpose of this study is to evaluate if zilovertamab vedotin with standard treatment can help people live longer without the cancer growing or spreading than people who receive standard treatment alone.

Could GDF15 Become the Next Super Target After PD-1 and GLP-1?
A recent Nature Aging study reveals that senescent tumor-adjacent epithelial cells secrete GDF15, driving colorectal cancer progression via a metabolic–epigenetic feedback loop. This expands GDF15’s role beyond tumor cells to its influence on the surrounding microenvironment.

Emerging as a hub connecting tumor growth, immune evasion, and systemic metabolism, GDF15 is a promising target across oncology, cancer cachexia, obesity, and metabolic diseases. Monoclonal antibodies like Ponsegromab and Visugromab are showing encouraging results in early clinical trials.
