About this study

This is a Phase II, platform, open-label, multi-drug, multicenter, global study.

This is a modular study, that includes a master protocol and substudies.

Partcipants will be randomised to one of the following intervention groups:

  • Volrustomig + FOLFIRI + bevacizumab group (Arm A)
  • FOLFIRI + bevacizumab group (Arm B)

The substudy will evaluate the effects of volrustomig in combination with FOLFIRI (irinotecan, 5-FU, and leucovorin) and bevacizumab versus FOLFIRI and bevacizumab only in participants with Mismatch-repair-proficient (pMMR)/Microsatellite stable (MSS) metastatic CRC (mCRC) in the absence of liver metastases and who have not received previous systemic treatment for advanced or metastatic disease.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

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

Overall Inclusion Criteria:

  • Histopathologically confirmed colorectal adenocarcinoma.
  • Provision of FFPE tumor sample collected as per SoC.
  • Presence of measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 criteria.
  • ECOG performance status of 0 or 1.
  • Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks at the time of screening.

Substudy Inclusion Criteria:

  • No radiological evidence of liver metastasis.
  • No prior systemic therapy for mCRC, except for neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy where, > 6 months have elapsed between completion of therapy and documented date of diagnosis of recurrent or metastatic disease.
  • Known pMMR/MSS status (only pMMR/MSS mCRC allowed).
  • Adequate organ and bone marrow function
  • Body weight > 35 kg at screening and at randomization.
  • Contraceptive use by participants should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.

Overall Exclusion Criteria:

  • Central nervous system metastases or spinal cord compression
  • Known history of severe allergy to any monoclonal antibody or study intervention.
  • Any unresolved toxicity CTCAE Grade ≥ 2 from a previous anticancer therapy.
  • History of another primary malignancy.

Substudy Exclusion Criteria:

  • Potentially resectable disease with multidisciplinary plan for radical surgery.
  • Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders or cardiac conditions.
  • Participants with a prior history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy or bleeding risks.
  • Deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, arterial thrombosis, transient ischemic attack or cerebrovascular accident.
  • History of abdominal or tracheoesophageal fistula, GI perforation and/or fistulae, or intraabdominal abscess within 6 months prior to randomization.
  • Prior exposure to immune mediated therapy.

Treatment and study plan

Volrustomig

Drug

Volrustomig will be administered as intravenous (IV) infusion.

Other names: MEDI5752

FOLFIRI (Fluorouracil (5-FU), leucovorin, irinotecan)

Drug

FOLFIRI will be administered as IV infusion.

Bevacizumab

Drug

Bevacizumab will be administered as IV infusion.

Primary outcomes

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: Approximately 3 years

    PFS is defined as the time from randomization until progression per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours, Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) or death due to any cause.

  2. Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs)

    Time frame: Approximately 3 years

    Number of participants who received at least one dose of study treatment will be assessed.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time frame: Approximately 3 years

    OS is defined as the time from randomization until the date of death due to any cause.

  2. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Time frame: Approximately 3 years

    ORR is defined as the proportion of participants who have a confirmed complete response or confirmed partial response as per RECIST 1.1.

  3. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    Time frame: Approximately 3 years

    DCR is defined as the percentage of participants who have a confirmed CR or PR or who have SD per RECIST 1.1 after randomization.

  4. Duration of Response (DOR)

    Time frame: Approximately 3 years

    DoR is defined as the time from the date of first documented confirmed response until date of documented progression per RECIST 1.1 or death due to any cause.

  5. Time to second progression or death (PFS2)

    Time frame: Approximately 3 years

    PFS2 is defined as the time from randomization to the earliest of the progression event, after first subsequent therapy, or death.

  6. Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax)

    Time frame: Approximately 3 years

    Concentration of novel study intervention in serum and PK parameters as data allow (such as peak and trough concentrations) will be assessed.

  7. Observed lowest concentration before the next dose is administered (Ctrough)

    Time frame: Approximately 3 years

    Concentration of novel study intervention in serum and PK parameters as data allow (such as peak and trough concentrations) will be assessed.

  8. Number of patients with positive Antidrug Antibodies (ADAs)

    Time frame: Approximately 3 years

    The immunogenicity (ADAs) of novel study intervention in participants with CRC in the absence of liver metastases is investigated.
