A plain-language summary of the goals, design and what participants do
This clinical trial is focused on studying a type of cancer known as colorectal cancer, specifically in cases where the cancer has returned, cannot be surgically removed, or has spread to other parts of the body. The study is particularly interested in patients whose cancer does not have certain genetic mutations, specifically KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF wild-type mutations. The trial will explore the effectiveness of a new treatment combination involving a medication called Amivantamab and a chemotherapy regimen known as FOLFIRI, compared to another treatment combination using Cetuximab or Bevacizumab with FOLFIRI.
The purpose of the study is to compare how well these treatment combinations work in controlling the cancer. Participants will receive one of the treatment combinations and will be monitored over time to see how their cancer responds. The study will involve regular visits to the clinic for treatment and assessments, which will include various tests to check the progress of the cancer and the overall health of the participants.
Throughout the study, participants will receive their treatments through an infusion, which means the medication will be given directly into a vein. The study aims to provide valuable information on which treatment combination might be more effective for patients with this specific type of colorectal cancer. The trial will continue until enough information is gathered to make a clear comparison between the two treatment options.
The trial runs in 5 steps – from screening to follow-up. Each step says what happens and what the team monitors.

is a medication used in this trial to treat colorectal cancer. It works by targeting specific proteins on cancer cells, helping to slow down or stop their growth.
is a combination of chemotherapy drugs used to treat colorectal cancer. It includes three medications: folinic acid, fluorouracil, and irinotecan. These drugs work together to kill cancer cells or stop them from growing and dividing.
is a medication that targets a specific protein on the surface of cancer cells. It helps to slow down or stop the growth of cancer cells in colorectal cancer.
is a medication that works by blocking the blood supply to tumors. This can help to slow down the growth of cancer cells in colorectal cancer.
This medication is administered intravenously and is currently being studied in clinical trials for its effectiveness in treating certain types of colorectal cancer. It is specifically being tested for use in patients with KRAS/NRAS and BRAF wildtype recurrent, unresectable, or metastatic colorectal cancer. Amivantamab works by targeting specific proteins on cancer cells, helping to inhibit their growth and spread. It is classified as a monoclonal antibody, which is a type of targeted cancer therapy.
Administered intravenously, cetuximab is an established medication used in the treatment of colorectal cancer, particularly in cases where the cancer is KRAS/NRAS and BRAF wildtype. It is used in combination with other chemotherapy drugs like FOLFIRI. Cetuximab works by blocking the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) on cancer cells, which helps to slow down or stop their growth. It is classified as a monoclonal antibody.
This medication is also given intravenously and is used in the treatment of various cancers, including colorectal cancer. It is often used in combination with chemotherapy regimens such as FOLFIRI. Bevacizumab works by inhibiting the growth of blood vessels that supply nutrients to tumors, effectively starving the cancer cells. It is classified as an angiogenesis inhibitor.
