Study Summary

This trial is studying how well binimetinib and palbociclib work compared to TAS-102 in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable colorectal cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with colorectal cancer that has spread and can't be surgically removed, who have specific KRAS or NRAS mutations. They must have normal organ function, no history of certain heart conditions or brain metastases, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and willing to use contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The effectiveness of binimetinib combined with palbociclib versus TAS-102 is being tested in patients with advanced colorectal cancer carrying KRAS/NRAS mutations. The study aims to see if these drugs can better inhibit tumor growth compared to the standard chemotherapy drug TAS-102.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, low blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk and bleeding problems. There may also be liver issues indicated by altered blood tests and possible heart complications.
