BOND-3: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase II Trial of Irinotecan, Cetuximab, and Bevacizumab Compared With Irinotecan, Cetuximab, and Placebo in RAS-Wildtype, Irinotecan-Refractory, Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

This randomized phase II trial studies how well irinotecan and cetuximab with or without
bevacizumab work in treating patients with RAS wild-type colorectal cancer that has spread to
other places in the body and cannot be removed by surgery. Irinotecan may stop the growth of
tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies,
such as cetuximab and bevacizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and
spread. Giving irinotecan and cetuximab with or without bevacizumab may work betting in
treating patients with colorectal cancer.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess and compare the progression-free survival (PFS) of patients receiving
irinotecan, cetuximab, and bevacizumab with patients receiving irinotecan, cetuximab and
placebo, in the population of patients with RAS wild-type, irinotecan-refractory metastatic
colorectal cancer (mCRC) who also previously received bevacizumab in at least one prior line
therapy.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the adverse event (AE) profile and safety of the proposed treatment in this
population.

II. To assess and compare the overall survival (OS) between treatment arms in this
population.

III. To assess and compare the disease control rate (DCR) between treatment arms in this
population.

IV. To assess and compare the overall response rate (ORR) between treatment arms in this
population.

V. To assess and compare the duration of response between treatment arms in this population.

VI. To assess and compare time to treatment failure between treatment arms in this
population.

VII. To assess relative dose intensity of treatment agents between treatment arms in this
population.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the change in genotype concentrations of prespecified gene mutations in
circulating cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) (cfDNA) collected serially during protocol
treatment.

II. Explore the predictive value of pretreatment mutation status, germline single nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs), and gene expression signatures for cetuximab sensitivity and
resistance.

III. Explore the predictive value of dynamic changes in mutation status and gene expression
signatures for cetuximab sensitivity and resistance.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Patients receive cetuximab intravenously (IV) over 90-120 minutes, bevacizumab IV over
30-90 minutes, and irinotecan IV over 90 minutes on day 1. Courses repeat every 14 days in
the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM II: Patients receive cetuximab IV over 90-120 minutes, placebo IV over 30-90 minutes, and
irinotecan IV over 90 minutes on day 1. Courses repeat every 14 days in the absence of
disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for up to 3 years.

confirmation of adenocarcinoma

- Previous failure of at least one fluoropyrimidine- and irinotecan-containing
chemotherapy regimen for metastatic disease; Note: previous failure is defined as
disease progression while receiving treatment or within 6 weeks after the last dose of
irinotecan; failure for this assessment is defined as any enlargement of measurable or
assessable lesion(s) or the development of any new lesion; a rising tumor marker alone
is not sufficient to define failure; patients can have received irinotecan in any
previous line of therapy

- Patients discovered to have >= 2+ proteinuria must have a spot urine
protein:creatinine ratio (UPCR) < 1.0

anticoagulation are eligible if the following criteria are met:

- Patient has an in-range INR (usually 2-3) on a stable dose of warfarin or other
anticoagulant =< 14 days or is on a stable dose of low molecular weight heparin

- Patient has no active bleeding or pathological condition that carries a high risk
of bleeding (i.e., tumor involving major vessels or known varices)
