Brief Summary:
The primary objective of the Phase 2 portion of the study is to characterize the clinical activity of maintenance therapy with GRT-C901/GRT-R902 (patient-specific vaccines) in combination with checkpoint inhibitors in addition to fluoropyrimidine/bevacizumab versus a fluoropyrimidine/bevacizumab alone as assessed by molecular response which is based on changes in circulating tumor (ct)DNA. The primary objective of the Phase 3 portion is to demonstrate clinical efficacy of the regimen as assessed by progression-free survival.

Tumors harboring non-synonymous deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mutations can present peptides containing these mutations as non-self antigens in the context of human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) on the tumor cell surface. A fraction of mutated peptides result in neoantigens capable of generating T-cell responses that exclusively target tumor cells. Sensitive detection of these mutations allows for the identification of neoantigens unique to each patient's tumor to be included in a patient-specific cancer vaccine that targets these neoantigens. This vaccine regimen uses two vaccine vectors as a heterologous prime/boost approach (GRT-C901 first followed by GRT-R902) to stimulate an immune response. This study will explore the anti-tumor activity of this patient-specific immunotherapy in combination with checkpoint inhibitors in addition to fluoropyrimidine/bevacizumab.

Experimental: Vaccine Arm
After receiving up to 24 weeks induction therapy with a fluoropyrimidine/oxaliplatin/bevacizumab (with or without irinotecan), per standard of care and after completing vaccine production screening, patients will receive a total of 6 administrations of GRT-C901/GRT-R902 plus ipilimumab co-administered only with the first dose of GRT-C901 and GRT-R902. All patients will receive atezolizumab in addition to maintenance therapy of a fluoropyrimidine and bevacizumab according to standard of care.

Primary Outcome Measures :

Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Phase 2 and 3: Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), immune-related AEs, treatment-related AEs, serious AEs, AEs leading to death, AEs leading to dose delays, and AEs leading to discontinuation of study treatment [ Time Frame: Phase 2 up to 27 months, Phase 3 up to 60 months ]
- Phase 2 and 3: Progression-free survival per RECIST v1.1 and iRECIST as assessed by the investigator [ Time Frame: Phase 2: up to 27 months, Phase 3: up to 60 months ]
- Phase 3: Progression-free survival per RECIST v1.1 as assessed by blinded IRC [ Time Frame: Up to 60 months ]
- Phase 2 and 3: Overall Survival as time from randomization to death from any cause [ Time Frame: Phase 2 up to 27 months, Phase 3 up to 60 months ]
- Phase 2 and 3: Overall Response Rate [ Time Frame: Phase 2 up to 27 months, Phase 3 up to 60 months ]measured by the proportion of patients with best overall response (BOR) of partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) by REICST v1.1 or , immune-based PR (iPR) or immune-based by iRECIST
- Phase 2 and 3: Duration of response (DOR) defined by time from the first objective response of PR or PR until disease progression or death [ Time Frame: Phase 2 up to 27 months, Phase 3 up to 60 months ]
- Phase 2 and 3: Clinical benefit rate (CBR) as defined by the proportion of patients with best overall response of stable disease (SD), PR or CR using RECIS v1.1 or immune-based SD (iSD), iPR, or iCR by iRECIST. [ Time Frame: Phase 2 up to 27 months, Phase 3 up to 60 months ]
- Phase 2 and 3: Deepening of Response the proportion of patients who have a BOR of SD or PR during the VPS and who convert from SD to PR or CR, or from PR to CR after start of the study treatment and/or SOC maintenance treatment in the STS per RECIST v1.1 [ Time Frame: Phase 2 up to 27 months, Phase 3 up to 60 months ]VPS = Vaccine Production Stage; STS = Study Treatment Stage
