Morpheus-CRC: This phase Ib/II trial is evaluating different combinations of immunotherapy-based treatments in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer that has not responded or gotten worse on other treatmentsA Phase Ib/II, Open-Label, Multicenter, Randomized Umbrella Study Evaluating The Efficacy And Safety Of Multiple Immunotherapy-Based Treatment Combinations In Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Clinical summary

Summary

In this trial, eligible patients will be randomly assigned to one of three treatment arms. In the active comparator arm, participants will continue to receive treatment with Regorafenib, administered orally on Days 1-21 of each 28 day cycle, until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression occurs. In Experimental Arm 1, participants will receive Atezolizumab, Imprime PGG and Bevacizumab until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression occurs. In this Arm, Atezolizumab will be administered by intravenous (IV) infusion every 3 weeks (Q3W) on Day 1 of 21-day cycles or by IV infusion every 2 weeks (Q2W) on Days 1 and 15 of 28-day cycles; Imprime PGG will be administered by IV infusion weekly on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 21-day cycle; and Bevacizumab will be administered IV infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. In Experimental Arm 2, participants will receive Atezolizumab and Isatuximab. In this Arm, Atezolizumab will be administered by intravenous (IV) infusion every 3 weeks (Q3W) on Day 1 of 21-day cycles or by IV infusion every 2 weeks (Q2W) on Days 1 and 15 of 28-day cycles; and Isatuximab will be administered by IV infusion. In all Arms, participants who progress on treatment may have the option of receiving Atezolizumab and Cobimetinib, provided they meet the eligibility criteria.
