Details and patient eligibility

About

This is an open-label, multicenter, single-arm, two-stage, Phase Ib study designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of oral cobimetinib with intravenous (IV) atezolizumab and bevacizumab in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who have received and progressed on at least one prior line of therapy that contained a fluoropyrimidine and oxaliplatin or irinotecan. There are two stages in this study: Stage 1 (safety run-in phase) and Stage 2 (dose expansion phase with two cohorts, an expansion cohort and a biopsy cohort).

Enrollment: 51 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1
• Histologically confirmed unresectable metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma

• Measurable disease per RECIST v1.1
• Adequate hematologic and end organ function
• Creatinine clearance greater than or equal to (>=) 30 milliliters per minute (mL/min)
• For biopsy cohort, participants must be bevacizumab naive or received the last bevacizumab treatment at least 12 months prior to Cycle 1 Day 1 and according to the investigator's judgment the planned biopsies would not expose participants to substantially increased risk of complications
• For women of childbearing potential, agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use of contraceptive methods that result in a failure rate of less than (<) 1 percent (%) per year during the treatment period and for at least 180 days after the last study treatment
• For men, agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive measures, and agreement to refrain from donating sperm

• Malignancies other than colorectal cancer within 5 years prior to Cycle 1 Day 1
• Prior radiation therapy within 30 days prior to study Cycle 1 Day 1 and/or persistence of radiation-related adverse effects
• Prior allogeneic bone marrow transplantation or solid organ transplant for another malignancy in the past
• Spinal cord compression not definitively treated with surgery and/or radiation
• Uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring recurrent drainage procedures
• Current or recent use of therapeutic oral or parenteral anticoagulants or thrombolytic agents
• Intake of St. John's wort or hyperforin (potent cytochrome P450 [CYP] 3A4 enzyme inducer) or grapefruit juice (potent CYP3A4 enzyme inhibitor) within 7 days prior to initiation of study treatment
• History of severe allergic, anaphylactic, or other hypersensitivity reactions to chimeric or humanized antibodies or fusion proteins
• Known hypersensitivity or allergy to biopharmaceuticals produced in Chinese hamster ovary cells or any components of cobimetinib, atezolizumab, or bevacizumab formulations
• Prior treatment with clusters of differentiation (CD) 137 (CD137) agonists or immune checkpoint blockage therapies, anti-programmed death protein-1, anti-program death-ligand 1, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK) inhibitor
• Proteinuria value > 1.0 g at screening
• Uncontrolled glaucoma with intraocular pressure ≥ 21 mmHg
• Hyperglycemia (fasting) ≥ Grade 2
• Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection

• History of autoimmune disease, clinically significant cardiac or pulmonary dysfunction
• Administration of a live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to Cycle 1 Day 1 or at any time during the study and for at least 5 months after the last dose of study drug
• History of or evidence of retinal pathology on ophthalmologic examination that is considered a risk factor for neurosensory retinal detachment/central serous chorioretinopathy, retinal vein occlusion, or neovascular macular degeneration
• History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia, drug-induced pneumonitis, or idiopathic pneumonitis

51 participants in 3 patient groups

Cobimetinib + Bevacizumab + Atezolizumab (Stage 1: SRP)

Experimental group

Description:

Stage 1 Safety Run-in Phase (SRP): Approximately 12 participants will receive cobimetinib 60 milligrams (mg) orally once daily for Days 1-21 with atezolizumab 840 mg and bevacizumab 5 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) administered by IV infusion on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Atezolizumab will be administered first, followed by bevacizumab, with a minimum of 60 minutes between dosing. Upon determination of the safety and tolerability of the treatment regimen, the study will proceed to Stage 2: dose expansion phase. If the results from the safety run-in phase require dose reduction in cobimetinib, then an additional Stage 1 cohort will be opened. Treatment will continue until the participant has disease progression according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1), unacceptable toxicity, death, participant or physician decision to withdraw, or pregnancy, whichever occurs first.

Treatment:

Drug: Cobimetinib

Drug: Atezolizumab

Drug: Bevacizumab

Cobimetinib + Bevacizumab + Atezolizumab (Stage 2: BC)

Experimental group

Description:

Stage 2 Biopsy Cohort (BC): Approximately 7 evaluable participants in the biopsy cohort in expansion phase will receive bevacizumab 5 mg/kg IV on Cycle 1 Days 1 and 15 (tumor biopsy on Cycle 1 Day 8) and cobimetinib (at dose determined during safety run-in phase) orally on Cycle 1 Day 15 to Cycle 2 Day 14 (tumor biopsy on Cycle 1 Day 22). From Cycle 2 onwards, participants will follow the same treatment regimen for bevacizumab and atezolizumab (optional tumor biopsy on Cycle 2 Day 22) as those in the safety run-in phase and expansion cohort, and for cobimetinib cycles start at Day 15 and will continue 21 days to Day 7 of next cycle. Atezolizumab will be administered first, followed by bevacizumab, with a minimum of 60 minutes between dosing. Biopsies must be collected before the initiation of cobimetinib and atezolizumab. Treatment will continue until disease progression according to RECIST v1.1, unacceptable toxicity, death, decision to withdraw, or pregnancy, whichever occurs first.

Treatment:

Drug: Cobimetinib

Drug: Atezolizumab

Drug: Bevacizumab

Cobimetinib + Bevacizumab + Atezolizumab (Stage 2: EC)

Experimental group

Description:

Stage 2 Expansion Cohort (EC): Approximately 14 participants will receive cobimetinib (at dose determined during safety run-in phase) orally once daily for Days 1-21 with atezolizumab 840 mg and bevacizumab 5 mg/kg administered by IV infusion on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Atezolizumab will be administered first, followed by bevacizumab, with a minimum of 60 minutes between dosing. Treatment will continue until the participant has disease progression according to RECIST v1.1, unacceptable toxicity, death, participant or physician decision to withdraw, or pregnancy, whichever occurs first.
