A Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of MEGF0444A Dosed to Progression in Combination With Bevacizumab and mFOLFOX-6 in Participants With Previously Untreated Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

This is a Phase II, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to estimate the efficacy of MEGF0444A treatment to disease progression, combined with oxaliplatin + folinic acid + 5-Fluorouracil (mFOLFOX-6) + bevacizumab therapy in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC).

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

Treatment and study plan

5-fluorouracil

Drug

Participants will receive 5-fluorouracil 400 milligrams per squared meter (mg/m^2) intravenous (IV) bolus and then 2400 mg/m^2 as a continuous IV infusion over 46-48 hours on Day 1 of every cycle until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or at the maximum of 52 cycles, whichever occurs first.

Bevacizumab

Drug

Participants will be administered bevacizumab at a dose of 5 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) every 14 days until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, for a maximum of 52 cycles, whichever occurs first.

MEGF0444A

Drug

Participants will be administered MEGF0444A at a fixed dose of 400 milligrams (mg) IV on Day 1 of Cycle 1, followed by subsequent doses of 400 mg every 14 days until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, for a maximum of 52 cycles, whichever occurs first.
