This trial is for adults with unresectable or metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma after chemotherapy and anti-EGFR treatment that initially controlled disease. Before anti-EGFR treatment, KRAS, NRAS, EGFR-ectodomain and BRAF-V600E must test wild-type.

The idea: combine oral avutometinib and defactinib with cetuximab infusions. These drugs block RAF/MEK, FAK and EGFR growth signals, respectively. Early groups establish an avutometinib dose; later patients receive the selected dose. Researchers assess tumor response and safety. Prior ERK, MEK or BRAF inhibitors exclude participation.

This phase 2 study plans 33 patients. Christine Parseghian leads MD Anderson's recruiting Houston site.
