Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?The purpose of this study is to assess 2 different doses of onvansertib to select the lowest dose that is maximally effective, and to assess the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of onvansertib in combination with FOLFIRI + bevacizumab or FOLFOX + bevacizumab in patients with KRAS or NRAS-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) in the first-line setting.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial does not specify if you must stop taking your current medications, but you cannot use strong CYP3A4 or CYP2C19 inhibitors or strong CYP3A4 inducers. It's best to discuss your current medications with the trial team.

What makes the drug Onvansertib unique for colorectal cancer treatment?

Onvansertib is unique because it is a targeted therapy that works by inhibiting a specific enzyme called PLK1, which is involved in cancer cell division. This mechanism is different from traditional chemotherapy, which generally targets all rapidly dividing cells.

Participant Groups

The study is testing two different doses of a drug called Onvansertib in combination with standard chemotherapy regimens FOLFIRI or FOLFOX, both also paired with Bevacizumab. The goal is to find the lowest effective dose of Onvansertib and evaluate its safety and effectiveness against metastatic colorectal cancer.

Sintilimab plus bevacizumab, oxaliplatin and capecitabine as first-line therapy in RAS-mutant, microsatellite stable, unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer: an open-label, single-arm, phase II trial. [2023]Microsatellite stable (MSS) and RAS-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients are characterized by an immunosuppressive microenvironment and a low response rate to immunotherapy. Chemotherapy and anti-angiogenesis therapy have been reported to potentially promote immunotherapy response. This study aims to assess the preliminary anti-tumor activity and safety of sintilimab plus bevacizumab, oxaliplatin and capecitabine as a treatment option for patients with RAS-mutant MSS mCRC.
A Randomized Phase II Trial of mFOLFOX6 + Bevacizumab Alone or with AdCEA Vaccine + Avelumab Immunotherapy for Untreated Metastatic Colorectal Cancer. [2022]FOLFOX plus bevacizumab is a standard of care (SOC) for first-line treatment of microsatellite-stable metastatic colorectal cancer (MSS mCRC). This study randomized patients to SOC or SOC plus avelumab (anti-PD-L1) plus CEA-targeted vaccine.
Preliminary Efficacy and Safety of Camrelizumab in Combination With XELOX Plus Bevacizumab or Regorafenib in Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: A Retrospective Study. [2022]For a majority of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) with MS stable (MSS) or mismatch repair proficient (pMMR), the role of immunotherapy is undetermined. This study investigated the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab when added to XELOX chemotherapy plus bevacizumab or regorafenib as first-line therapy for mCRC.
Mortality associated with daily bolus 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin administered in combination with either irinotecan or oxaliplatin: results from Intergroup Trial N9741. [2018]Intergroup Trial N9741 evaluated 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)/leucovorin (LV) administered in conjunction with either irinotecan or oxaliplatin in the first-line treatment of advanced colorectal carcinoma (CRC). The current report describes two treatment arms that were withdrawn from the protocol due to unexpected treatment-related toxicities and a high mortality rate. The complications observed in these arms highlight the importance of aggressive and immediate supportive care in the management of digestive toxicity.

[2022]Cotargeting vascular endothelial growth factor and programmed cell death 1 or programmed cell death ligand 1 may produce anticancer activity in refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The clinical benefit of atezolizumab combined with chemotherapy and bevacizumab remains unclear for the treatment of mCRC.
