BAY 3771249 for advanced colorectal cancer with KRAS G12D mutation

Master Protocol: An Open-label Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Efficacy of BAY 3771249 as Monotherapy or Combination With Other Cancer Treatments in Participants With Solid Tumors Harboring a KRAS G12D Mutation. Substudy Protocol: An Open-label, Multi-cohort Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Preliminary Anti-tumor Activity of BAY 3771249 as Monotherapy and in Combination With Cetuximab in Participants With Advanced/Metastatic Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Harboring a KRAS G12D Mutation

Phase 1 Interventional Bayer · NCT07535112

This trial will test whether BAY 3771249, alone or with cetuximab, helps people with advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer that has a KRAS G12D mutation.

What this trial studies

This is a phase 1, interventional trial enrolling adults with advanced or metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma harboring the KRAS G12D mutation. Participants must have measurable disease, ECOG performance status ≤1, and adequate organ function, and they will receive BAY 3771249 either as monotherapy or combined with cetuximab. The study focuses on safety, tolerability, dose finding, and early signals of anti-tumor activity. Sites include three US cancer centers and treatment involves on-site visits for dosing and monitoring.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults (≥18 years) with histologically confirmed advanced or metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma carrying a KRAS G12D mutation, at least one measurable lesion outside the CNS, ECOG ≤1, and adequate hematologic and organ function are ideal candidates.

Not a fit: Patients without the KRAS G12D mutation, those with uncontrolled or symptomatic brain metastases or leptomeningeal disease, recent major surgery or significant traumatic injury within the protocol window, or inadequate organ function are unlikely to benefit from this trial.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this could provide a targeted treatment option that slows tumor growth for people with KRAS G12D–mutant metastatic colorectal cancer.

How similar studies have performed: While KRAS G12C inhibitors have shown clinical success, targeted therapies for KRAS G12D remain largely early-stage and this approach is relatively novel in the clinic.
