Sotorasib + Panitumumab + FOLFIRI for Colorectal Cancer
(CodeBreaK 301 Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a combination of treatments for individuals with a specific type of colorectal cancer that has metastasized. It aims to determine if using sotorasib (a new potential drug) and panitumumab with a chemotherapy regimen called FOLFIRI is more effective than FOLFIRI alone or with another drug, bevacizumab-awwb. The trial focuses on participants who have not received prior treatment and have a KRAS p.G12C mutation in their cancer. Suitable candidates have colorectal cancer that has spread and tested positive for the KRAS p.G12C genetic mutation. As a Phase 3 trial, this study represents the final step before FDA approval, offering participants a chance to contribute to potentially groundbreaking treatment advancements.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research shows that the combination of sotorasib, panitumumab, and FOLFIRI is likely safe for patients with a certain type of colorectal cancer. Previous studies found that people with KRAS G12C-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer, who had already received treatment, tolerated this combination well. Serious side effects occurred infrequently, indicating long-term safety.
These results suggest the treatment might also be safe for new patients. However, discussing any concerns or possible side effects with a doctor is important.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about Sotorasib combined with Panitumumab and FOLFIRI for colorectal cancer because it introduces a novel approach to treatment. Sotorasib targets the KRAS G12C mutation, a common genetic alteration in colorectal cancer that is often hard to treat with existing therapies. Unlike the standard of care, which typically involves chemotherapy alone or with other drugs like bevacizumab, this combination leverages Sotorasib's ability to specifically inhibit the mutated KRAS protein, potentially offering a more effective and targeted treatment option. Additionally, Panitumumab, an antibody targeting the EGFR pathway, enhances this targeted approach, possibly improving outcomes for patients who do not respond well to traditional treatments.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for metastatic colorectal cancer?
Research has shown that a combination of the drugs sotorasib, panitumumab, and FOLFIRI, which participants in Arm A of this trial will receive, may be promising for treating metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) with the KRAS G12C mutation. One study found that this combination had a strong overall response rate of 57% in patients who had already tried other treatments, meaning that more than half of the patients experienced a significant reduction in tumor size. The treatment also had manageable side effects, considered tolerable. These findings suggest that this combination could be an effective option for people with this specific type of mCRC.13678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with a specific mutation (KRAS p.G12C) in metastatic colorectal cancer who haven't been treated before. They should have measurable disease, be relatively active and well (ECOG ≤ 1), and have organs that are functioning properly.Inclusion Criteria
