About
This study is for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who are candidates for resection of metastases. This study will be conducted sequentially with 2 cohorts: 1.) Monotherapy Cohort and 2.) Combination Cohort
Pre-metastatectomy
All subjects will be treated for 2 cycles (8 weeks) prior to metastatectomy
Metastatectomy
Subjects will undergo liver metastatectomy within 42 days of completion of Cycle 2 of pre-metastatectomy treatment. No study treatment is administered while the patient is healing after surgery.
Post-metastatectomy
Once the patient has healed from the surgery, adjuvant treatment may be administered at the discretion of the treating physician. Restaging following standards of care for this setting.

Exclusion criteria

Known primary central nervous system (CNS) malignancy or symptomatic CNS metastases.
a. Patients with asymptomatic untreated CNS disease may be enrolled, provided all of the following criteria are met: i. Evaluable or measurable disease outside the CNS ii. No metastases to brain stem, midbrain, pons, medulla, cerebellum, or within 10 mm of the optic apparatus (optic nerves and chiasm) iii. No history of intracranial hemorrhage or spinal cord hemorrhage iv. No ongoing requirement for dexamethasone for CNS disease; patients on a stable dose of anticonvulsants are permitted.
v. No neurosurgical resection or brain biopsy within 28 days prior to start of study treatment b. Patients with asymptomatic treated CNS metastases may be enrolled, provided all the criteria listed above are met as well as the following: i. Radiographic demonstration of improvement upon the completion of CNS-directed therapy and no evidence of interim progression between the completion of CNS-directed therapy and the screening radiographic study ii. No stereotactic radiation or whole-brain radiation within 28 days prior to start of study treatment iii. Screening CNS radiographic study ≥ 4 weeks from completion of radiotherapy and ≥ 2 weeks from discontinuation of corticosteroids

History of severe allergic, anaphylactic, or other hypersensitivity reactions to chimeric or humanized antibodies or fusion proteins or Chinese hamster ovary cell products.
History of malabsorption or other condition that would interfere with absorption of cobimetinib.
Bisphosphonate therapy for symptomatic hypercalcemia. Use of bisphosphonate therapy for other reasons (e.g., bone metastasis for osteoporosis) is allowed.
Known clinically significant liver disease, including active viral, alcoholic, or other hepatitis; cirrhosis; fatty liver; and inherited liver disease.
History or risk of autoimmune disease, including but not limited to systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, vascular thrombosis associated with antiphospholipid syndrome, Wegener's granulomatosis, Sjogren's syndrome, Bell's palsy, Guillain-Barre syndrome, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune thyroid disease, vasculitis, or glomerulonephritis.
