Summary

Since Encorafenib (EC) has not previously been combined with chemotherapy, the tolerability and pharmacokinetics of EC in combination with mFOLFOX6 and FOLFIRI will be evaluated in a separate safety lead-in portion of the trial. This portion of the trial will be undertaken in order to identify which chemotherapy combination should be used in the second phase of the trial. Patients enrolled in the second phase of the trial will be randomised to receive Encorafenib plus Cetuximab alone or in combination with the chemotherapy selected in the first phase.
