Full description

This is a Phase 1b open-label, multiple dose/schedule sequential study to determine the safety and efficacy of the oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) pathway inhibitor ME-344 in combination with bevacizumab in subjects with recurrent mCRC.

This study will enroll subjects with metastatic CRC, including but not limited to subjects with RAS wild-type or mutant tumors, MSI-H/pMMR, and BRAF V600E, who have progressed or demonstrated intolerability to standard approved therapies which include fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, irinotecan-based chemotherapies, cetuximab/panitumumab, PD-1 inhibitors, or BRAF inhibitors (if clinically indicated), and/or other checkpoint inhibitors. Approximately 40 subjects will be enrolled in the study, in 2 cohorts of 20 subjects each.

Subjects will continue treatment with ME-344 and bevacizumab until radiological progressive disease, unacceptable AEs, withdrawal of consent, start of new anticancer therapy, or death.

Enrollment: 23 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Age ≥18 years
• Histological or cytological documentation of adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum that is metastatic (all other histological types are excluded)
• Subjects who progressed or demonstrated intolerability to prior standard approved therapies which include fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan-based chemotherapies, cetuximab/panitumumab (if clinically indicated e.g., RAS wild-type tumors) PD-1 or BRAF inhibitors (if clinically indicated), and/or other checkpoint inhibitors in the metastatic setting.
• Previous treatment with any investigational drug or anticancer treatment must be completed >28 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, before the first dose of study treatment.
