What is being tested

  • Drug tucatinib
  • Drug trastuzumab
  • Drug bevacizumab
  • Drug cetuximab
  • Drug oxaliplatin
  • Drug leucovorin
  • Drug levoleucovorin
  • Drug fluorouracil

What it is measuring

Progression-free survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR)

This is the trial's main question — the one it is designed and sized to answer. Anything else it reports is a secondary finding, and secondary findings are far more likely to be chance.

Phase 3. Compares the treatment against current standard care in a large group. This is the design that changes practice.

How the researchers describe it

This study is being done to find out if tucatinib with other cancer drugs works better than standard of care to treat participants with HER2 positive colorectal cancer. This study will also determine what side effects happen when participants take this combination of drugs. A side effect is anything a drug does to the body besides treating your disease.

Participants in this study have colorectal cancer that has spread through the body (metastatic) and/or cannot be removed with surgery (unresectable).

Participants will be assigned randomly to the tucatinib group or standard of care group. The tucatinib group will get tucatinib, trastuzumab, and mFOLFOX6. The standard of care group will get either:

* mFOLFOX6 alone,
* mFOLFOX6 with bevacizumab, or
* mFOLFOX6 with cetuximab mFOLFOX6 is a combination of multiple drugs. All of the drugs given in this study are used to treat this type of cancer.

Who the trial is looking for

Inclusion Criteria

  • Histologically and/or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum which is locally advanced unresectable or metastatic
  • Able to provide the most recently available formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue blocks (or freshly sectioned slides) obtained prior to treatment initiation to a central laboratory
  • If archival tissue is not available, a newly-obtained baseline biopsy of an accessible tumor lesion is required within 35 days prior to start of study treatment
  • HER2+ disease as determined by a tissue based assay performed at a central laboratory.
  • Participant has rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog wild-type (RAS WT) disease as determined by local or central testing.

Where it is running

Running at 366 sites. Listed in: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, United Kingdom, United States.

Individual hospitals, and whether each is currently open, are listed on the registry record. Sites open and close throughout a trial.

Worth asking your oncology team

Being listed here is not a recommendation, and no one page can tell you whether a trial is right for you. These are the questions it raises.

  • Is this trial open at a hospital I could realistically travel to?
  • Given my stage, my previous treatment and my tumour's molecular profile, would I be eligible?
  • What would I be giving up by joining — is the comparison arm the treatment I would otherwise be having?
  • What is already known about the safety of what is being tested?
