Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Participants are eligible to be included in the study only if all of the following criteria apply: I. Molecular Prescreening Inclusion Criteria 1. Locally confirmed dMMR or MSI-H disease in tumor tissue or blood (eg. ctDNA genetic testing) as determined by a local laboratory assay in a CLIA- or similarly certified laboratory. 2. Locally confirmed BRAF V600E mutation in tumor tissue or blood (eg, ctDNA genetic testing) as determined by either PCR or NGS-based local laboratory assay in a CLIA- or similarly certified laboratory. Screening Inclusion Criteria 3. Male or female participants age =16 years at the time of informed consent/assent (or the minimum country specific age of consent if >16). In countries or sites where enrollment of adolescents is not permitted (eg, Germany), male or female participants age =18 years at the time of informed consent. Type of Participant and Disease Characteristics: 4. Participants who are willing and able to comply with all scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, lifestyle considerations, and other study procedures. 5. Histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic Stage IV colorectal adenocarcinoma. Note: Patients with oligometastatic disease previously treated with curative intent are eligible to participate in the study as long as they have baseline measurable disease per RECIST 1.1. 6. Presence of measurable disease per RECIST v1.1, as assessed by investigator and evidenced by available baseline tumor scan. Note: Baseline scan is defined as the last scan prior to the date of randomization (Section 10.10). Note: Baseline scans will be required to be available for subsequent submission to a central radiology vendor to be assessed by the BICR. 7. Availability of adequate tumor tissue (primary or metastatic; archival or newly obtained; block or slides; see Section 8.6.1). Whenever possible, the archival sample should be from the same tumor block that was used for local BRAF V600E mutation and MSI-H/dMMR testing. This tissue block should be obtained from a biopsy or surgery that was performed within 2 years prior to study enrollment. A newly obtained tumor tissue biopsy must be provided prior to randomization for participants unable to provide adequate archival tumor tissue. If a newly obtained biopsy is taken, the biopsy should be taken from a nontarget lesion when possible. 8. Have not received prior systemic regimens for metastatic disease. Note: Participants with early stage disease (eg, Stages I-III) treated with surgery followed by chemotherapy (eg, treatment in the adjuvant setting) or have received prior systemic neoadjuvant therapy with or without radiation who present with new lesions or evidence of disease recurrence during or within 6 months of the last dose of chemotherapy would be considered as having received 1 prior systemic therapy in the metastatic setting. 9. ECOG performance status of =1. 10. Adequate bone marrow function characterized by the following at screening: a. ANC =1.5 × 109/L b. Platelets =100 × 109/L c. Hemoglobin =9.0 g/dL (without blood transfusions 2 weeks prior to randomization) 11. Adequate hepatic and renal function characterized by the following at screening: a. Serum Tbili =1.5 × ULN and 1.5 × ULN is allowed if direct (conjugated) = 1.5 × ULN and indirect (unconjugated) bilirubin is = 4.25 × ULN. Note: Participants with documented Gilbert syndrome or hyperbilirubinemia due to non-hepatic cause (eg, hemolysis, hematoma) ma

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply: Screening Exclusion Criteria Medical Conditions: 1. Colorectal adenocarcinoma that is RAS mutant or for which RAS mutation status is unknown. 2. Documented clinical disease progression (eg, worsening of performance status, clinical symptoms, or clinically significant laboratory parameters demonstrating worsening of disease) or radiographic disease progression during the screening period. 3. Has active CNS metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Participants with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are radiologically stable, ie, without evidence of progression for at least 4 weeks by repeat imaging (note that the repeat imaging should be performed during study screening), clinically stable and without requirement of steroid treatment for at least 14 days prior to first dose of study intervention. 4. Leptomeningeal disease. 5. Diagnosis of immunodeficiency or an active autoimmune disease that required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (ie, with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs). Note: Participants with diabetes type I, vitiligo, psoriasis, controlled asthma, Graves’ disease, Hashimoto’s disease or hypo- or hyperthyroid disease are exceptions and may participate. Note: Replacement and symptomatic therapies (eg, levothyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) are not considered a form of immunosuppressive agents and are permitted. 6. Presence of acute or chronic pancreatitis. 7. History of chronic inflammatory bowel disease requiring medical intervention (immunomodulatory or immunosuppressive medications or surgery) = 12 months prior to randomization. 8. Unable to swallow, retain, and absorb oral medications. 9. Impaired gastrointestinal function (eg, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting or diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, small bowel resection) or disease which may significantly alter the absorption of oral study intervention or recent changes in bowel function suggesting current or impending bowel obstruction. 10. Clinically significant cardiovascular diseases, including any of the following: a. History of acute myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndromes (including unstable angina, coronary artery bypass graft, coronary angioplasty or stenting) = 6 months prior to randomization. b. Congestive heart failure requiring treatment (New York Heart Association Grade = 2). c. Recent history (one year) or presence of clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias (including uncontrolled atrial fibrillation or uncontrolled paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia). d. History of thromboembolic or cerebrovascular events = 12 weeks prior to randomization. Examples include transient ischemic attacks, cerebrovascular accidents, hemodynamically significant (ie, massive or sub-massive) deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary emboli. Note: Participants with either deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary emboli that do not result in hemodynamic instability are allowed to enroll as long as they are on a stable dose of anticoagulants for at least 4 weeks. Note: Participants with thromboembolic events related to indwelling catheters (including PICC lines) or other procedures may be enrolled e. Triplicate average QTcF interval =480 ms or a history of prolonged QT syndrome. Note: Participants with BBB or with an implanted cardiac pacemaker may enroll

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To compare the efficacy of encorafenib and cetuximab plus pembrolizumab (Triplet Arm [Arm A]) vs pembrolizumab (Control Arm [Arm B]);Secondary Objective: - To assess the overall safety and tolerability of Arm A vs Arm B; - To assess the efficacy of Arm A vs Arm B; - To confirm the BRAF and MSI status in tumor tissue; - To evaluate the effect on PROs of Arm A vs Arm B.;Primary end point(s): PFS per investigator, defined as the time from randomization until PD based on investigator assessment per RECIST v1.1 or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The primary efficacy analysis of the trial will be the comparison of PFS per investigator assessment between the 2 treatment arms using a stratified log-rank test at 1-sided a = 0.15 and is anticipated to occur approximately 45 months after the first participant is randomized.
