Summary

"This trial aims to test if a combination of three drugs can effectively treat metastatic colorectal cancer in patients with a specific genetic mutation."

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced colorectal cancer that has spread, specifically those with a KRAS G12C mutation. Participants must have had at least one prior chemotherapy treatment and be able to take oral medication. They should not have serious illnesses or conditions that could affect the study's results or their ability to participate, including certain infections or autoimmune diseases.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a combination of three drugs: Adagrasib, Cetuximab, and Cemiplimab in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer harboring KRAS G12C mutations. The goal is to see if this drug combo can control the disease better than current treatments.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include skin reactions from cetuximab; immune-related issues like inflammation of organs from cemiplimab; and gastrointestinal symptoms, fatigue, liver enzyme changes from adagrasib. Each patient's experience may vary.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Lead-InExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants enrolled in the Lead-In phase, the dose of adagrasib participants receive will depend on when the participant join this study. The first group of participants will receive the starting dose level of adagrasib. If intolerable side effects are seen, a second group of participants will be enrolled to receive a lower dose. One (1) of these 2 doses will be chosen as the recommended dose of adagrasib.
Group II: ExpansionExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants enrolled in the Expansion phase, participants will receive adagrasib at the recommended dose that was found in the Lead-In phase.
