Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with histologically confirmed HER2 positive metastatic or unresectable colorectal cancer.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with HER2 negative colorectal cancer or those who have previously received treatment for their metastatic disease may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of tucatinib combined with trastuzumab and mFOLFOX6 compared to standard care treatments for patients with HER2 positive metastatic colorectal cancer. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the combination therapy or standard treatments, which may include mFOLFOX6 alone or with other agents like bevacizumab or cetuximab. The study aims to assess both the efficacy of the new treatment regimen and the side effects experienced by participants.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a more effective option for patients with HER2 positive metastatic colorectal cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar combination therapies in HER2 positive cancers, indicating potential for success in this approach.

Inclusion Criteria: * 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.
