This study evaluated the association between baseline ctDNA levels and changes in ctDNA during treatment with response and survival outcomes in the phase II ALTER-C-002 trial, which investigated first-line anlotinib combined with capecitabine and oxaliplatin in patients with rat sarcoma (RAS) and B-Raf proto-oncogene (BRAF) wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer. Furthermore, KRAS/BRAF mutations detected in ctDNA were linked to shorter PFS and OS (all p<0.05). In conclusion, baseline ctDNA burden and early ctDNA clearance may function as prognostic and on-treatment biomarkers of therapeutic efficacy in metastatic colorectal cancer, warranting prospective validation.

He was treated with Sintilimab plus Anlotinib, resulting in lung lesion regression. Both tumors showed high proliferative indices (Ki-67 ~80-90%) and PD-L1 expression, supporting responsiveness to immune checkpoint blockade. This case highlights the feasibility of immune monotherapy in managing complex synchronous malignancies, especially when standard treatments are declined.

Anlotinib alleviates MAILD progression by inhibiting the NETs-PI3K/Akt axis and subsequent EMT, providing a theoretical basis for drug repurposing and supporting its clinical translation potential in MAILD.
