TPS260 Background: Deficient DNA mismatch repair (dMMR) colorectal cancer (CRC) is highly immunogenic. Preclinical data showed synergistic interactions among FOLFOX, anti-VEGF, and programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) pathway blockade. Prior phase I study of mFOLFOX6/ bevacizumab (bev) + atezolizumab (atezo) was well tolerated and enhanced intratumoral infiltration of CD8+ T cells. We hypothesize that the dMMR subset of CRC may be effectively targeted with combination of PD-1 pathway blockade and mFOLFOX6/bev. Methods: This is a prospective randomized phase III open-label trial. Pts (N=347) with mCRC dMMR will be randomized to three trial arms (1:1:1): mFOLFOX6/bev; atezo monotherapy; or mFOLFOX6/bev + atezo. Stratification factors include BRAFV600E status, metastatic site, and prior adjuvant CRC therapy. Primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS) assessed by study investigator of mFOLFOX6/bev/atezo and atezo monotherapy compared to mFOLFOX6/bev. Secondary endpoints include OS, objective response rate, safety profile, disease control rate, duration of response, and PFS by retrospective central review. Health-related quality of life is an exploratory objective. Archived tumor tissue and blood samples will be collected for correlative studies. Key inclusion criteria are: mCRC without prior chemotherapy for advanced disease; dMMR tumor determined by local CLIA-certified IHC assay (MLH1/MSH2/MSH6/PMS2); availability of archived tumor tissue for central confirmation of dMMR status; and measurable disease per RECIST.
