About

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of study drugs encorafenib, binimetinib and cetuximab in patients who have BRAF V600 mutant metastatic colorectal cancer and have not received any prior treatment for their metastatic disease.

Full description

The presence of a BRAFV600E mutation is considered a marker of poor prognosis in subjects with mCRC. The preclinical results and preliminary clinical data together justify the evaluation of this triple combination in the first-line setting of this population. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the antitumor activity of the combination of encorafenib, binimetinib and cetuximab by assessing the overall response rate in adult subjects with previously untreated BRAFV600E-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer. It will also assess the effect of the triple combination on the duration of response, time to response, progression-free survival and overall survival and assess the effect on quality of life. It will also characterize the safety and tolerability of the triple combination as well as describe the pharmacokinetics (PK) of encorafenib, binimetinib, and cetuximab.
