What is being tested

  • Drug Retifanlimab
  • Biological Therapeutic CEA, Brachyury and MUC1 TriAdeno Vaccine Platform
  • Drug N-803
  • Drug SX-682

What it is measuring

Phase I: Safety profiles of the IO regimens consisting of retifanlimab, TriAdeno vaccine, N-803 (A1), and retifanlimab, TriAdeno vaccine, N-803, SX-682 (A2) in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer

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 2. Tests whether the treatment works well enough to be worth a larger trial. Usually too small to prove it changes survival.

How the researchers describe it

Background:

Each year, more than 32,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with colorectal cancer that has returned or progressed after treatment and spread to other organs. This is called metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Most people with mCRC survive only about 2 years.

Objective:

To test the ability of a combination of up to 4 experimental anti-cancer drugs treat mCRC. The names of these drugs are retifanlimab, TriAdeno vaccine, N-803, and SX-682. They are described below.

Eligibility:

Adults aged 18 years or older with mCRC. Participants must have

Design:

Participants will be screened. This includes having a physical exam, blood tests, urine tests, and imaging tests. If signed on to the study, participants will have 2 tumor biopsies. One when starting the study and once about 8 weeks after bring on the study. Participants will receive $500 for each biopsy.

Participants will be treated with either 3 or 4 drugs and will receive a detailed calendar explaining when each drug is given.

Retifanlimab is given every 4 weeks through an IV (an IV is tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein in the arm). N-803 is injected under the skin on the abdomen every 4 weeks.

TriAdeno vaccine is injected under the skin of the upper arm or thigh once a month for 3 doses and then once every 3 months.

Some participants will also receive a 4th drug.

Who the trial is looking for

  • INCLUSION CRITERIA:
  • Participants with histologically confirmed colorectal cancer and evidence of metastatic disease.
  • Participants must have received, been ineligible to receive, or refused to receive two lines of standard systemic therapy i.e., a fluoropyrimidine with oxaliplatin or irinotecan with bevacizumab, regorafenib, trifluridine, and (if history of RAS wild-type) EGFR-targeted therapy. Participants must have received one line of systemic checkpoint inhibitor if history of advanced microsatellite instability-high [MSI-H/dMMR]) metastatic colon cancer.
  • Participants who had progressive disease within 6 months before study treatment following standard adjuvant therapy are eligible if they have not received systemic therapy for metastatic disease.

Where it is running

Running at 1 site. Listed in: 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?
