Comparing Amivantamab with FOLFIRI to Cetuximab/Bevacizumab with FOLFIRI for Colorectal Cancer

A Randomized, Open-label Phase 3 Study of Amivantamab + FOLFIRI Versus Cetuximab/Bevacizumab + FOLFIRI in Participants With KRAS/NRAS and BRAF Wild-type Recurrent, Unresectable or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Who Have Received Prior Chemotherapy

Phase 3 Interventional Janssen Research & Development, LLC · NCT06750094

This study is testing if a new treatment combining amivantamab with FOLFIRI can help people with certain types of colorectal cancer live longer and feel better compared to the standard treatment with cetuximab or bevacizumab plus FOLFIRI.

What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of amivantamab combined with FOLFIRI chemotherapy against the combination of cetuximab or bevacizumab with FOLFIRI in patients with KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF wild-type colorectal cancer who have previously undergone chemotherapy. The primary focus is on measuring progression-free survival and overall survival among participants with recurrent, unresectable, or metastatic disease. Participants must have measurable disease and a performance status of 0 or 1, and they will be required to provide tumor tissue samples post-progression if feasible.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults with KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF wild-type colorectal cancer who have previously received chemotherapy and have measurable disease.

Not a fit: Patients with a history of interstitial lung disease or those currently experiencing pulmonary complications may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could offer a new treatment option that improves survival rates for patients with advanced colorectal cancer.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise with similar treatment approaches, but this specific combination is being evaluated for the first time.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Have histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum. Participants must have recurrent, unresectable or metastatic disease
* Determined to have kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene/neuroblastoma RAS viral oncogene homolog (KRAS/NRAS), G12, G13 and v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B (BRAF) V600X (X represents any single amino acid change from the original amino acid) wild type status by local and/or central next-generation sequencing (NGS) testing

* Has a prior or concurrent second malignancy other than the disease under study or one whose natural history or treatment is likely to interfere with any study endpoints of safety or the efficacy of the study treatment(s)
* Participant with known mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR)/ high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) status who has not received immunotherapy treatments
