About

This randomized phase 1b/2 open-label study will evaluate the antitumour activity and safety of etrumadenant (AB928) treatment combinations in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer.

Full description

This is a multicenter, open-label Phase 1b/2 study in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer that will assess the antitumour activity and safety of etrumadenant.

Approximately 250 participants will be enrolled to 1 of 3 cohorts:

Cohort A) etrumadenant + zimberelimab +mFOLFOX-6 +/-bevacizumab vs mFOLFOX-6 +/-bevacizumab

Cohort B) etrumadenant + zimberelimab +mFOLFOX-6 +/-bevacizumab vs regorafenib

Cohort C) chemotherapy-free combinations of etrumadenant + zimberelimab + other agents

The primary objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety of etrumadenant-based combination therapy in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer.

Enrollment: 227 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
