Critètes d'éligibilité
A participant will be eligible for inclusion in the study if the participant:
1. Has a histologically-confirmed metastatic and unresectable (Stage IV as defined by AJCC eighth edition) colorectal adenocarcinoma (NCCN 2018).
2. Has not progressed (ie, achieved a SD, PR, or CR) after a first-line induction course of at least 6 cycles of FOLFOX with bevacizumab as first-line therapy.
  • Participants must not have received an investigational agent during their FOLFOX + bevacizumab induction course.
  • Determination of SD/PR/CR will be made by the investigator.
  • “First-line therapy” is defined as the first systemic chemotherapy regimen given for the diagnosis of unresectable or metastatic CRC. Participants may have received prior adjuvant/neoadjuvant chemotherapy for CRC as long as it was completed at least 6 months prior to initiation of first-line FOLFOX + bevacizumab induction treatment.
3. Has experienced unacceptable toxicity to oxaliplatin that, in the opinion of the treating physician, requires/required the discontinuation of oxaliplatin. Note: As an example, unacceptable toxicity may include (but is not limited to) severe or prolonged neurotoxicity.
  • Participants must be randomized within a minimum of 2 weeks and a maximum of 6 weeks after their last dose of FOLFOX + bevacizumab (last dose is the day of the last infusion).
4. Has provided to the iCRO at least 1 set of radiographic images taken during the FOLFOX + bevacizumab induction period and at least 42 days prior to the imaging performed during screening. The iCRO must determine the images are of diagnostic quality prior to randomization.
 
5. Has an ECOG performance status of 0 to 1 within 10 days prior to randomization.
 
6. Has the ability to swallow and retain oral medication and not have any clinically significant gastrointestinal abnormalities that might alter absorption.
 
7. Has adequate organ function, as detailed in Table 1; all screening laboratory tests should
be performed within 10 days of randomization.

  • Notification of acceptability must be received prior to randomization.
  • If a sample is not available at screening, a new tissue sample is required to be collected during screening.
Demographics
9. Is male or female, at least 18 years of age, at the time of signing the informed consent.
 
Male Participants
 
Contraceptive use by men should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.
 
10. Male participants are eligible to participate if they agree to the following during the intervention period and for at least 90 days (if on Arm 2) or 180 days (if on Arm 1 or Arm 3) after the last dose of study intervention:
 
• Refrain from donating sperm
 
PLUS either:
 
• Be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent
 
OR
 
• Must agree to use contraception unless confirmed to be azoospermic (vasectomized or secondary to medical cause [Appendix 5]) as detailed below:
 
- Agree to use a male condom plus partner use of an additional contraceptive method when having penile-vaginal intercourse with a WOCBP who is not currently pregnant. Note: Men with a pregnant or breastfeeding partner must agree to remain abstinent from penile-vaginal intercourse or use a male condom during each episode of penile-vaginal penetration.
 
• Male participants must also agree to use male condom when engaging in any activity that allows for passage of ejaculate to another person of any sex.
 
Female Participants
11. Contraceptive use by women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.
 
A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:
• Is not a WOCBP
 
OR
 
• Is a WOCBP and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of <1% per year), with low user dependency, or be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long term and persistent basis), as described in Appendix 5 during the intervention period and for at least 30 days (if on Arm 2) or 180 days (if on Arm 1 or Arm 3) after the last dose of study intervention and agrees not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) to others or freeze/store for her own use for the purpose of reproduction during this period. The investigator should evaluate the
potential for contraceptive method failure (ie, noncompliance, recently initiated) in relationship to the first dose of study intervention.
 
• A WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test (urine or serum as required by local regulations) within 24 hours before the first dose of study intervention.
 
• If a urine test cannot be confirmed as negative (eg, an ambiguous result), a serum pregnancy test is required. In such cases, the participant must be excluded from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive.
 
• Additional requirements for pregnancy testing during and after study intervention are located in Appendix 2.
 
The investigator is responsible for review of medical history, menstrual history, and recent sexual activity to decrease the risk for inclusion of a woman with an early undetected pregnancy.
 
Informed Consent
 
12. The participant (or legally acceptable representative if applicable) provides written informed consent for the study. The participant may also provide consent for future biomedical research. However, the participant may participate in the main study without participating in future biomedical research.
