About this study
Official title: Phase 3 Clinical Study on the Efficacy and Safety of SBRT Combined With Becotatug Vedotin (MRG003) in EGFR-Positive Metastatic Tumor Patients With Oligometastases
The combination of local consolidative therapy for oligometastases with systemic therapy offers the potential for clinical cure and significantly prolongs survival in a subset of patients with advanced metastatic disease. However, a considerable proportion of patients still do not benefit from this approach.
Becotatug vedotin (MRG003) is an antibody-drug conjugate that carries the payload monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), a microtubule inhibitor. MMAE has been shown to effectively enhance radiosensitivity in various preclinical tumor models, including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, liver cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, and lung cancer. Furthermore, multiple clinical studies have demonstrated the promising therapeutic potential of vicetuximab in EGFR-positive solid tumors.
Based on this background, we plan to conduct a clinical study evaluating the combination of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for oligometastases with investigator-selected systemic therapy and Becotatug vedotin (MRG003) in patients with EGFR-positive oligometastatic tumors.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Becotatug VedotinDrug
Becotatug vedotin was administered intravenously at a dose of 2.0 mg/kg every 3 weeks (Q3W).
SBRTRadiation
All oligometastatic lesions will be treated with SBRT with curative intent. Radiation doses are determined based on published clinical studies
Systemic Therapy/Standard of CareDrug
Systemic therapy /Standard of Care will be determined at the investigator's discretion, in accordance with clinical guidelines and individual patient characteristics.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Becotatug vedotin plus SBRT and systemic therapy arm | Experimental | For patients in the experimental group receives Becotatug vedotin plus SBRT and systemic therapy. Receives: Drug: Becotatug Vedotin; Radiation: SBRT; Drug: Systemic Therapy/Standard of Care |
| SBRT and systemic therapy arm | Active comparator | For patients in the control group receives SBRT and systemic therapy. Receives: Radiation: SBRT; Drug: Systemic Therapy/Standard of Care |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Progression-free Survival (PFS)
Defined as time from randomization to loco-regional or distant metastasis relapse or death from any cause, whichever occurred first.
Measured: 1 year
Secondary outcomes (7)
Overall Survival (OS)
Defined as the time interval from randomization to death due to any cause.
Measured: 1 year
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Defined as the proportion of patients whose tumors shrink to complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) and remain for a certain period of time according to RECIST 1.1.
Measured: 3 months after SBRT
Disease Control Rate (DCR)
Defined as the proportion of patients whose tumors shrink to complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) and remain for a certain period of time according to RECIST 1.1.
Measured: 3 months after SBRT
Duration of Response (DoR)
Defined as the time from the first documented Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) to the first documented disease progression (PD) or death from any cause in patients with an objective response
Measured: 1 year
Health related quality of Life
The quality of life was evaluated by referring to the European EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30, version 3.0) . The scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating a better quality of life outcome and lower scores indicating worse symptoms or functions.
Measured: Baseline, after every two cycles of systemic therapy, before SBRT, after SBRT, and at each follow-up.
Incidence of treatment related acute complications
The proportion of patients with treatment related acute complications according to NCI-CTC5.0 criteria and RTOG criteria.
Measured: During systemic therapy and up to three months after SBRT
Incidence of treatment related late complications
The proportion of patients with treatment related late complications according to NCI-CTC5.0 criteria and RTOG criteria.
Measured: More than three months after SBRT

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Becotatug Vedotin and SBRT in people with Oligo-metastatic Cancer, run by Ming-Yuan Chen at 2 sites in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 17 inclusion and 22 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Mingyuan Chen (+86 18124188280, chmingy@mail.sysu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Progression-free Survival (PFS) (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Apr 2026.
