Summary

This trial is studying the best dose and side effects of irinotecan hydrochloride given with utomilumab and cetuximab to treat patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with metastatic colorectal cancer who've had at least one line of chemotherapy. They must have known RAS tumor status, be willing to use two contraception methods if applicable, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. Exclusions include brain metastases requiring steroids, recent major surgery or radiation therapy, autoimmune disorders affecting the immune system, serious infections like hepatitis B/C or HIV/AIDS, unstable medical conditions in the past 6 months.
What is being tested?
The trial tests how well patients respond to a combination of utomilumab and cetuximab with irinotecan hydrochloride chemotherapy. It aims to find the best dose while assessing side effects. Utomilumab and cetuximab are monoclonal antibodies that may prevent cancer growth; irinotecan hydrochloride is a chemo drug that kills or stops cancer cells from dividing.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to the immune system due to monoclonal antibodies (like inflammation), typical chemo side effects such as nausea, fatigue, hair loss, blood cell count changes leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems. Each patient's experience can vary.
