Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of FOLFIRI plus cetuximab in combination with avelumab followed by avelumab maintenance therapy in patients with previously untreated RAS/BRAF wild-type mCRC.;Secondary Objective: • To assess the efficacy and safety profile of the tested treatment strategy • To assess the feasibility of the tested treatment strategy;Primary end point(s): • Progression-free survival (PFS) according to RECIST v1.1;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Restaging according to RECIST 1.1 will be performed every eight weeks | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): • Objective response rate (ORR) according to RECIST v1.1 and irRECIST • Progression-free survival (PFS) according to irRECIST • Progression-free survival rate after 12 months of treatment (PFSR@12) according to RECIST v1.1 and irRECIST • Overall survival (OS) • Duration of treatment • Type, frequency and severity of adverse events (severity according to NCI CTCAE version 5.0);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: • Restaging according to RECIST 1.1 will be performed every eight weeks • OS will be evaluated in a continously manner, after study Treatment every 3 month until death or end of study • Evaluated when end of treatment is reached • Safety and tolerability will be evaluated in a continously manner | — |
