Adagrasib, Cetuximab, and Cemiplimab for the Treatment of Patients with Advanced or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Trial Status: active

This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects and effectiveness of adagrasib, cetuximab and cemiplimab for the treatment of patients with colorectal cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Adagrasib is in a class of medications called KRAS inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply, which may help keep cancer cells from growing. 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. A monoclonal antibody, such as cemiplimab, is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Giving adagrasib, cetuximab and cemiplimab may work better for treating patients with advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer.
