Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a 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.

Probably 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.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

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.

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

* 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
