Study Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the addition of Atezolizumab to FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab as first line treatment of patients with pMMR and Immunoscore IC-high metastatic colorectal cancer in terms of Progression Free Survival (PFS).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Histologically proven diagnosis of colorectal cancer;

  • Initially unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer not previously treated withchemotherapy for metastatic disease;

  • Proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) status in tumour tissue (primary or metastatic),as determined by a local laboratory assay in a CLIA- or similarly certified;

  • Immunoscore IC-high status in tumour tissue (primary or metastatic), as determinedby a sponsor-defined central laboratory (HEGP, AP-HP, INSERM, France).

  • At least one measurable lesion according to RECIST criteria (version 1.1);

  • Availability of adequate tumour specimen (primary or metastatic);

  • Male or female of 18-75 years of age;

  • ECOG PS ≤ 2 if aged < 71 years, ECOG PS = 0 if aged 71-75 years;

  • Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks;

  • Previous adjuvant chemotherapy allowed only if with fluoropyrimidine monotherapy andmore than 6 months elapsed between the end of adjuvant and first relapse;

  • Neutrophils >1.5 x 109/L, Platelets >100 x 109/L, Hb >9 g/dl;

  • Total bilirubin ≤1.5 times the upper-normal limits (UNL) of the normal values andAST (SGOT) and/or ALT (SGPT) <2.5 x UNL (or <5 x UNL in case of liver metastases)alkaline phosphatase <2.5 x UNL (or <5 x UNL in case of liver metastases);

  • Creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/min or serum creatinine ≤1.5 x UNL;

  • INR or aPTT ≤1.5 x ULN. This applies only to patients who are not receivingtherapeutic anticoagulation;

  • Urine dipstick of proteinuria <2+. Patients discovered to have 2+ proteinuria ondipstick urinalysis at baseline, should undergo a 24-hour urine collection and mustdemonstrate ≤1 g of protein/24 h;

  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative blood pregnancy test at thebaseline visit. For this trial, women of childbearing potential are defined as allwomen following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal unless permanentlysterile. Permanent sterilization methods include hysterectomy, bilateralsalpingectomy and bilateral oophorectomy. A postmenopausal state is defined as nomenses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. A high folliclestimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm apost-menopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonalreplacement therapy. However, in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a singleFSH measurement is insufficient;

  • Male subjects with female partners of childbearing potential and female subjects ofchildbearing potential must, therefore, be willing to use adequate contraception asapproved by the investigator (barrier contraceptive measure or oral contraception)and outlined in "Section 6.5 - Contraception", starting with the first dose of studytherapy through 6 months after the last dose of bevacizumab and fluorouracil andwithin 5 months after the last dose of atezolizumab.

  • Females of childbearing potential must have a negative blood pregnancy test at thebaseline visit (i.e., performed maximum 7 days before the treatment start);

  • Will and ability to comply with the protocol;

  • Written informed consent to study procedures.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Radiotherapy to any site within 4 weeks before the study;

  • Previous adjuvant oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy;

  • Previous treatment with bevacizumab;

  • Prior treatment with CD137 agonists, anti-CTLA4, anti-PD-1, or anti-PD-L1therapeutic antibody or pathway-targeting agents;

  • Complete dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPYD) deficiency (homozygous of thefollowing DPYD polymorphisms: c1679GG, c1905+1AA, c2846TT);

  • Untreated brain metastases or spinal cord compression or primary brain tumours;

  • History or evidence upon physical examination of CNS disease unless adequatelytreated;

  • History of haemoptysis ≥ 2 grade NCIC-CTG criteria within one month prior toscreening;

  • Active or untreated CNS metastases:

  • Symptomatic peripheral neuropathy > 2 grade NCIC-CTG criteria;

  • Serious, non-healing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture;

  • Evidence of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy;

  • Uncontrolled hypertension (SBP>150 mmHg and/or DPB>100 mmHg), or prior history ofhypertensive crisis, or hypertensive encephalopathy ;

  • Significant vascular disease (e.g. aortic aneurysm requiring surgical repair orrecent arterial thrombosis) within 6 months of study enrolment;

  • Active infection requiring antibiotics at the time of initiation of study treatment;

  • Any previous venous thromboembolism ≥ NCI CTCAE Grade 4;

  • History of abdominal fistula, GI perforation, intra-abdominal abscess or active GIbleeding within 6 months prior to the first study treatment;

  • Current or recent (within 10 days prior to study treatment start) ongoing treatmentwith full-dose anticoagulants for therapeutic purposes.

  • Treatment with any investigational drug within 30 days prior to enrollment or 2investigational agent half-lives (whichever is longer);

  • Major surgical procedure, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28days prior to study treatment start, or anticipation of the need for major surgicalprocedure during the course of the study;

  • Core biopsy or other minor surgical procedure, excluding placement of a vascularaccess device, within 7 days prior to initiation of study treatment;

  • Lack of physical integrity of the upper gastrointestinal tract, malabsorptionsyndrome, or inability to take oral medication;

  • Pregnant or lactating women. Women of childbearing potential with either a positiveor no pregnancy test at baseline. Postmenopausal women must have been amenorrheicfor at least 12 months to be considered of non-childbearing potential. Sexuallyactive males and females (of childbearing potential) unwilling to practicecontraception (barrier contraceptive measure or oral contraception) during the studyand until 6 months after the last dose of bevacizumab, fluorouracil and within 5months after the last dose of atezolizumab;

Study Description

This is a prospective, open-label, multicenter phase III randomized trial in which patients with initially unresectable, previously untreated pMMR and Immunoscore IC-high mCRC will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive induction treatment with FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab up to 8 cycles followed by maintenance with 5-FU/LV plus bevacizumab until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or patient's refusal (arm A) or FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab plus atezolizumab up to 8 cycles followed by maintenance with 5-FU/LV plus bevacizumab plus atezolizumab until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or patient's refusal (arm B).

Stratification factors will be ECOG Performance Status (0 versus 1, 2), primary tumour location (right versus left/rectum) and liver metastases (yes versus no).

The second- and subsequent lines of treatment will be at investigators' choice.
