What this trial studies

This open-label, exploratory study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of targeted therapies and immunotherapy in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who have specific biomarker-positive tumors. Participants will be assigned to treatment arms based on their biomarker assay results, allowing for a tailored approach to therapy. The interventions include various agents such as Inavolisib, Bevacizumab, Cetuximab, Atezolizumab, and Tiragolumab. The study seeks to provide insights into how these therapies can be effectively utilized in specific patient subpopulations.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older with metastatic colorectal cancer who have tumors that are biomarker positive according to specific assay results.

Not a fit: Patients without the specified biomarker positivity or those who are not eligible based on the inclusion criteria may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more effective and personalized treatment options for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using targeted therapies for metastatic colorectal cancer, indicating that this approach is supported by prior research.

Exclusion Criteria

* Current participation or enrollment in another interventional clinical trial. Participants who are participating in the follow-up period of an interventional clinical trial are eligible for the study.
* Any systemic anti-cancer treatment within 2 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to start of study treatment
* Treatment with investigational therapy within 28 days prior to initiation of study treatment
* Pregnant or breastfeeding, or intending to become pregnant during the study
* History of or concurrent serious medical condition or abnormality in clinical laboratory tests that, in the investigator's judgment, precludes the patient's safe participation in and completion of the study or confounds the ability to interpret data from the study
* Severe infection within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment or any active infection that, in the opinion of the investigator, could impact patient safety
* Incomplete recovery from any surgery prior to the start of study treatment that would interfere with the determination of safety or efficacy of study treatment
* Uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring recurrent drainage procedures (once monthly or more frequently)
* Uncontrolled tumor-related pain
* Uncontrolled or symptomatic hypercalcemia
* Clinically significant and active liver disease

* Symptomatic, untreated, or actively progressing CNS metastases
* History of leptomeningeal disease or carcinomatous meningitis
* History of malignancy other than CRC within 2 years prior to screening, with the exception of malignancies with a negligible risk of metastasis or death
* Any other disease, unresolved toxicity from prior therapy, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug, may affect the interpretation of the results, or may render the participant at high risk from treatment complications
* Requirement for treatment with any medicinal product that contraindicates the use of any of the study treatments, may interfere with the planned treatment, affects participant compliance, or puts the patient at higher risk for treatment-related complications
