Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary Outcome Measures : 1.Safety Lead-in Study: Incidence of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) [ Time Frame: After 30 evaluable patients in each cohort complete 1 cycle (up to 28 days), approximately 12 months ] Incidence of dose limiting toxicity defined as any adverse event (AE) or abnormal laboratory value assessed as unrelated to disease, disease progression, intercurrent illness or concomitant medications/therapies occurring during the first 28 days of treatment 2.Phase 3: Progression free survival, by blinded independent review [ Time Frame: Duration of Phase 3, approximately 36 months ] Progression free survival, defined as the time from the date of randomization to the earliest documented disease progression or death due to any cause: encorafenib and cetuximab + (Arm A) vs Control Arm (Arm C) and encorafenib and cetuximab + mFOLFOX6 or encorafenib + cetuximab + FOLFIRI (Arm B) vs the Control Arm (Arm C) 3.Phase 3: Objective response rate by blinded independent review [ Time Frame: Duration of Phase 3, approximately 23 months ] Objective response defined as complete response (CR), or partial response (PR) according to RECIST v1.1 based on BICR assessment, from the date of randomization until the date of the first documentation of progression of disease (PD) 4.Cohort 3: Objective response rate by blinded independent review [ Time Frame: Duration of Cohort 3, approximately 15 months ] Defined as CR, or PR according to RECIST v1.1 based on BICR assessment, from the date of randomization until the date of the first documentation of PD, death or start of new anticancer therapy

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Safety Lead-in: Incidence of adverse events, Incidence of abnormal clinical laboratory parameters, abnormal vital signs and abnormal electrocardiograms, Incidence of dose interruptions, dose modifications and discontinuations due to adverse events, etc. Phase 3 and Cohort 3: Overall survival, Overall response rate by Investigator, Duration of response by blinded independent review and by Investigator, etc.
