Study Summary

This trial is testing capecitabine, bevacizumab, and atezolizumab as a possible treatment for colorectal cancer that has spread and is not responding to treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with metastatic colorectal cancer that has not improved after treatment with certain chemotherapy and antibody drugs. Participants must have a good performance status, meaning they can carry out daily activities with minimal assistance. They should have acceptable blood counts, liver and kidney function, and cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding. Those who've had recent heart issues, strokes, uncontrolled hypertension, or significant bleeding are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if adding Atezolizumab to Capecitabine and Bevacizumab improves outcomes in refractory metastatic colorectal cancer. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive either the combination of all three drugs or just Capecitabine and Bevacizumab with a placebo instead of Atezolizumab.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include high blood pressure from Bevacizumab; hand-foot syndrome (redness/pain/swelling), diarrhea from Capecitabine; fatigue, nausea from both; immune-related reactions like inflammation of organs could occur due to Atezolizumab.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Arm I (atezolizumab, bevacizumab, capecitabine)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Patients receive atezolizumab IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1, bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1, and capecitabine PO BID on days 1-14. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group II: Arm II (placebo, bevacizumab, capecitabine)Active Control4 Interventions
Patients receive placebo IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1, bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1, and capecitabine PO BID on days 1-14. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
