Summary

"This trial is testing if a combination of three drugs, botensilimab, balstilimab, and regorafenib, works better than just botensilimab and bal

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with advanced or metastatic microsatellite stable colorectal cancer. It's suitable for those who have cancer that has spread from the original site to other body parts. Specific eligibility criteria are not provided, but typically include factors like age, health status, and previous treatments.
What is being tested?
The study compares two treatment sets: one combines botensilimab, balstilimab, and regorafenib; the other uses just botensilimab and balstilimab. These drugs aim to boost the immune system's fight against cancer and block proteins that help tumor cells grow.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical reactions to immunotherapy such as fatigue, skin reactions, digestive issues, and possible organ inflammation. Regorafenib might cause hand-foot skin reactions, hypertension, fatigue, diarrhea among others.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Arm BBR (botensilimab, balstilimab, regorafenib)Experimental Treatment7 Interventions
Patients receive botensilimab IV over 60 minutes on day 1 of each cycle, balstilimab IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 15, and 29 of each cycle, and regorafenib PO QD on days 1-7, 15-21, and 29-35 of each cycle or on days 1-5, 15-19, and 29-33 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 42 days for up to 2 cycles of botensilimab and up to 2 years of balstilimab and regorafenib in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo CT or MRI and blood sample collection throughout the trial. Patients also undergo tumor biopsy during screening and on study.
Group II: Arm BB (botensilimab, balstilimab)Experimental Treatment6 Interventions
Patients receive botensilimab IV over 60 minutes on day 1 of each cycle and balstilimab IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 15, and 29 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 42 days for up to 2 cycles of botensilimab and up to 2 years of balstilimab in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo CT or MRI and blood sample collection throughout the trial. Patients also undergo tumor biopsy during screening and on study.
