Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Provision of signed and dated informed consent form.\n- Patients must have progressed during or within 6 months of the last chemotherapy regimen ➢ Patients who received adjuvant/neoadjuvant chemotherapy and had recurrence during or within 6 months of completion of the adjuvant/neoadjuvant chemotherapy are permitted to count the adjuvant/neoadjuvant therapy as one regimen for advanced disease.\n- Measurable disease according to RECIST v1.1.\n- ECOG performance status 0-1.\n- Adequate bone marrow function characterized by the following at screening: a.\tAbsolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5 x 109/L. b.\tPlatelets ≥100 x 109/L. c.\tHaemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL (with or without blood transfusions).\n- Adequate hepatic and renal function characterized by the following at screening: a.\tSerum total bilirubin ≤1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) and <2 mg/dL. Note: Total bilirubin >1.5 x ULN is allowed if direct (conjugated) ≤1.5 x ULN and indirect (unconjugated) bilirubin is ≤4.25 x ULN. Note: Participants with hyperbilirubinemia due to non-hepatic cause (e.g., haemolysis, hematoma) may be enrolled following discussion and agreement with the Sponsor medical monitor. b.\tAlanine aminotransferase (ALT) and/or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤2.5 x ULN, or ≤5 x ULN in the presence of liver metastases. c.\tAdequate renal function defined by an estimated creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/min according to the Cockcroft Gault formula or by 24-hour urine collection for creatinine clearance, or according to local institutional standard method. d.\tProtein < 2+ on dipstick urinalysis or ≤ 1.0 g in a 24-hour urine collection. All patients with ≥2+ protein on dipstick urinalysis at baseline must undergo a 24-hour urine collection for protein. e.\tAdequate electrolytes, defined as serum potassium and magnesium levels within institutional normal limits. Note: Replacement treatment to achieve adequate electrolytes will be allowed.\n- Adequate cardiac function characterized by the following at screening: •\tMean triplicate QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) value ≤480 msec.\n- Able to take oral medications.\n- Highly effective contraception for both male and female subjects if the risk of conceptions exists during and at least up to 2 months after last study medication. See 10.4. Appendix 4.\n- Age ≥18 years at time of informed consent.\n- Histologically- or cytologically confirmed mCRC that is metastatic.\n- Presence of confirmed BRAF V600E mutation.\n- Eligible to receive cetuximab and encorafenib per locally approved label with regard to tumour RAS status.\n- Patients must be previously treated with at least 2 prior regimens for metastatic disease and had demonstrated progressive disease or intolerance to their last regimen. Prior standard chemotherapy must include the following agents: fluoropyrimidine in monotherapy or in combination with irinotecan and/or oxaliplatin with or without anti-VEGF. Combination of chemotherapy with BRAF inhibitor containing regimen are also permitted.\n- Patients must have received BRAF inhibitor plus anti-EGFR combinations (including but not limited to MEK or ERK inhibitors or chemotherapy) treatment for ≥ 4 months. Patients must have had complete response, partial response or stable disease >6 months during the BRAF inhibitor-based treatment.\n- Patients at study enrollment should have at least 4 months of interval since the last administration of BRAF inhibitors\n- Life expectancy >12 weeks, as determined by the investigator."}

Exclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Treatment with another investigational drug or participation in another investigational study at enrolment or within 30 days prior to enrolment.\n- Has spinal cord compression or clinically active central nervous system metastases, defined as untreated and symptomatic, or requiring therapy with corticosteroids or anticonvulsants to control associated symptoms. Subjects with clinically inactive brain metastases may be included in the study. Subjects with treated brain metastases that are no longer symptomatic and who require no treatment with corticosteroids or anticonvulsants may be included in the study if they have recovered from the acute toxic effect of radiotherapy. A minimum of 2 weeks must have elapsed between the end of whole brain radiotherapy and the enrolment in the study.\n- Subjects with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis.\n- Impaired gastrointestinal (GI) function or disease that may significantly alter the absorption of encorafenib (e.g., ulcerative diseases, uncontrolled vomiting, malabsorption syndrome, small bowel resection with decreased intestinal absorption).\n- Knowledge of any other disease or medication that may interfere with study treatment.\n- Presence of any contraindication with regard to the study drugs as specified in the corresponding SmPCs.\n- Patients who achieved progression disease as best response while receiving BRAF inhibitor previously\n- Patient unable to comply with the study protocol owing to psychological, social (lack of social support or social exclusion) or geographical reasons.\n- Patient is pregnant or breastfeeding or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the study.\n- Known history of chronic pancreatitis.\n- Tumours with microsatellite instability or mismatch repair deficiency if they have not received a PD1/PDL1 inhibitor-based treatment, unless medical contraindication.\n- History of chronic inflammatory bowel disease or Crohn’s disease requiring medical intervention. (immunomodulatory or immunosuppressive medications or surgery) ≤ 12 months before the enrolment in the study.\n- Impaired cardiovascular function or clinically significant cardiovascular diseases, including any of the following: a.\tHistory of acute myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndromes (including unstable angina, coronary artery bypass graft [CABG], coronary angioplasty or stenting) ≤ 6 months prior to start of study treatment. b.\tSymptomatic congestive heart failure (i.e., Grade 2 or higher), history or current evidence of clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia and/or conduction abnormality ≤ 6 months prior to start of study treatment, except atrial fibrillation and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.\n- Impaired hepatic function, defined as Child-Pugh class B or C.\n- Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), active hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection or active hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Patients positive for HCV antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for HCV RNA. Patients with past exposure to HBV are also eligible for the study provided they are negative for HBV DNA."}
