Clinical summary
Summary
This study is being done to find out if tucatinib with other cancer drugs works better than standard of care to treat people with HER2 positive colorectal cancer that is locally advanced, metastatic or unable to be removed with surgery (unresectable).
This study will also determine what side effects happen when participants take this combination of drugs. A side effect is anything a drug does to the body besides treating your disease.
Participants will be assigned randomly (by chance) to one of two treatment groups.
People in the tucatinib group will receive tucatinib targeted therapy, trastuzumab targeted therapy and mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy regimen.
People in the standard of care group will get either:
- mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy regimen alone;
- mFOLFOX6 with bevacizumab targeted therapy, or
- mFOLFOX6 with cetuximab targeted therapy.
All drigs given in this study are used to treat this type of cancer.
Conditions
This trial is treating people with locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic bowel cancer that is HER2+
Eligibility
Inclusion
- Histologically and/or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum which is locally advanced unresectable or metastatic
-
Able to provide the most recently available formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue blocks (or freshly sectioned slides) obtained prior to treatment initiation to a central laboratory
- If archival tissue is not available, a newly-obtained baseline biopsy of an accessible tumor lesion is required within 35 days prior to start of study treatment
- HER2+ disease as determined by a tissue based assay performed at a central laboratory.
- Participant has rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog wild-type (RAS WT) disease as determined by local or central testing. For central RAS analysis, tissue sample must be analyzed within 1 year of biopsy date.
-
Radiographically measurable disease per RECIST v1.1 with:
- At least one site of disease that is measurable and that has not been previously irradiated, or
- If the participant has had previous radiation to the target lesion(s), there must be evidence of progression since the radiation
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1
-
CNS Inclusion - based on contrast brain magnetic resonance imaging, participants may have any of the following:
- No evidence of brain metastases
- Previously treated brain metastases which are asymptomatic
Inclusion
- Your cancer has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) or has grown into nearby parts of the body (locally advanced).
- Your cancer has not spread to other parts of the body, but it is not possible to perform surgery to remove it (unresectable).
Exclusion
- You have certain types of non-cancer medical conditions.
- You have had certain treatments, surgical procedures or drugs.
Clinical trials have complex eligibility criteria, and other criteria may apply for this trial. Ask your doctor about whether this trial could be right for you.
