Adagrasib (MRTX849) Plus Cetuximab and Irinotecan for the Treatment of Patients with Unresectable or Metastatic, KRAS positive Colorectal Cancer

Trial Status: closed to accrual

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects and best dose of adagrasib plus cetuximab and irinotecan for the treatment of patients with KRAS positive colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Adagrasib is a small molecule inhibitor that may target specific areas of the tumor cell and stop them from growing and spreading. Cetuximab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It binds to a protein called EGFR, which is found on some types of cancer cells. This may help keep cancer cells from growing. Irinotecan may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving adagrasib with cetuximab and irinotecan may kill more tumor cells in patients with unresectable or metastatic, KRAS positive colorectal cancer.
