ME-344 and Bevacizumab in Previously Treated Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Purpose

This is a Phase 1b open-label, multiple dose/schedule sequential study to determine the safety and efficacy of the oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) pathway inhibitor ME-344 in combination with bevacizumab in subjects with recurrent mCRC.

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 1b open-label, multiple dose/schedule sequential study to determine the safety and efficacy of the oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) pathway inhibitor ME-344 in combination with bevacizumab in subjects with recurrent mCRC. This study will enroll subjects with metastatic CRC, including but not limited to subjects with RAS wild-type or mutant tumors, MSI-H/pMMR, and BRAF V600E, who have progressed or demonstrated intolerability to standard approved therapies which include fluoropyrimidine, oxaliplatin, irinotecan-based chemotherapies, cetuximab/panitumumab, PD-1 inhibitors, or BRAF inhibitors (if clinically indicated), and/or other checkpoint inhibitors. Approximately 40 subjects will be enrolled in the study, in 2 cohorts of 20 subjects each. Subjects will continue treatment with ME-344 and bevacizumab until radiological progressive disease, unacceptable AEs, withdrawal of consent, start of new anticancer therapy, or death.
