Brief Summary:

This is a randomized, open-label, dose/schedule optimization study comparing NUC-3373/leucovorin (LV)/irinotecan plus bevacizumab (NUFIRI-bev) to 5-FU/LV/irinotecan plus bevacizumab (FOLFIRI-bev) for the treatment of patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer.

A total of 171 patients will be randomized 1:1:1 to either NUFIRI-bev on a weekly NUC-3373 schedule, NUFIRI-bev based on an alternate weekly NUC-3373 schedule, or FOLFIRI bev on an alternate weekly schedule. The main objectives are to assess and compare the efficacy and safety of the 3 regimens. Pharmacokinetics will be assessed on the 2 NUFIRI arms.

Previous treatment with maintenance therapy (e.g., capecitabine) is also allowed.
  5. Known RAS and BRAF status. Patients with wild-type KRAS tumours must have received prior treatment with an EGFR inhibitor, unless this was not standard of care according to relevant region-specific treatment recommendations.
  6. Known UGT1A1 status, or patient consents to UGT1A1 status testing if unknown.
  7. Age ≥18 years.
  8. Minimum life expectancy of ≥12 weeks.
  9. ECOG Performance status 0 or 1.
  10. Adequate bone marrow function as defined by: absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5×109/L, platelet count ≥100×109/L, and haemoglobin ≥9 g/dL.
  11. Adequate liver function, as defined by: serum total bilirubin ≤1.5×upper limit of normal (ULN), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤2.5×ULN (or ≤5×ULN if liver metastases are present).

  15. Female patients of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days prior to the first study drug administration. This criterion does not apply to patients who have had a previous hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy. Male patients and female patients of child bearing potential must agree to practice true abstinence or to use two highly effective forms of contraception, one of which must be a barrier method. These forms of contraception must be used from the time of signing consent, throughout the treatment period, and for 6 months following the last dose of any study medication. Oral or injectable contraceptive agents cannot be the sole method of contraception.
  16. Patients must have been advised to take measures to avoid or minimize exposure to UV light for the duration of study participation and for a period of 4 weeks following the last dose of study medication.

Exclusion Criteria:

    2. Corticosteroid treatment is allowed during screening but should be weaned to a dose of ≤10 mg prednisolone (or steroid equivalent) by Cycle 1 Day 1 * Palliative radiotherapy during participation in the study is permitted, but should not be concurrent with study treatment and recovery should be allowed to prevent overlapping toxicity (refer to Section 10.4). It should not include a target lesion.
  10. Residual toxicities from prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy which have not regressed to Grade ≤1 severity (CTCAE v5.0), except for alopecia and residual Grade 2 neuropathy.
