Study description
This study was done to test a new cancer drug called futuximab/modotuximab in participants with colorectal cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. When a cancer spreads to other parts of the body, it is called metastatic cancer. Colorectal cancer means a cancer is in a part of the gut (colon or rectum).
Futuximab/modotuximab is a combination of two drugs that target a specific protein (called EGFR) found on cancer cells.
Trifluridine/tipiracil is a combination of two cancer drugs put together in the same pill. It is available to treat metastatic colorectal cancer when standard treatments are no longer effective in the United States of America, Europe, and other countries.
It is hoped that by combining futuximab/modotuximab with trifluridine/tipiracil, their actions on the cancer cells may be more effective.
Two parts were planned in the study. The main goal of the first part was to look at the safety of futuximab/modotuximab in combination with trifluridine/tipiracil. The main goal of second part was to test if futuximab/modotuximab in combination with trifluridine/tipiracil worked better than trifluridine/tipiracil alone in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

Eligibility Criteria
Eligible age for the study
Sexes
Male/FemaleAccepts Healthy Volunteers
NoTo take part, participants had to:
- Be at least 18 years of age.
- Have metastatic colorectal cancer that cannot be removed by surgery.
- Be without specific changes in genes (hereditary material).
- Be resistant (not respond) to at least 2 previous treatments for metastatic colorectal cancer.
Participants could not take part in the study if:
- They had major heart disease.
- Their cancer had spread to the brain or spinal cord and had not been treated.
- They had received treatment with drugs that suppress the immune system or radiation in the 4 weeks before starting the study.
How is the study designed?
Participants received futuximab/modotuximab through an IV (injection given slowly) into a vein once a week in each cycle. Each cycle lasted up to 28 days.
Participants took trifluridine/tipiracil tablets orally before receiving futuximab/modotuximab. They took the tablets twice a day for 5 days on and 2 days off, over 14 days, followed by a 14-day rest. This treatment cycle was repeated every 28 days.
