Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of trametinib and trifluridine and tipiracil hydrochloride in treating patients with colon or rectal cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced/metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery. Trametinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as trifluridine and tipiracil hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving trametinib and trifluridine and tipiracil hydrochloride may prevent cancer cells from dividing and work better in treating patients with colon and rectal cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for the combination of trametinib and trifluridine and tipiracil hydrochloride (TAS-102) in patients with chemotherapy-resistant metastatic colorectal cancer.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Describe the safety of the combination of trametinib and TAS-102 across all investigated dose levels.

II. Describe the clinical activity including objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) of the combination in an expansion cohort using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive trifluridine and tipiracil hydrochloride orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-5 and 8-12 and trametinib PO once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and then bi-annually thereafter.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* All subjects must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent

* Of note, prior bevacizumab or regorafenib exposure is not mandated as some patients are deemed poor candidates for anti-angiogenesis therapy and never receive these agents
* Tumors must have undergone expanded molecular profiling with a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA)-certified platform that evaluates, at a minimum, RAS, PIK3CA, PTEN and BRAF mutations status
* Documented RAS-mutated tumor without activating PIK3CA mutations or PTEN mutation (loss of PTEN or silencing)
* Measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 guidelines
* Last chemotherapy at least 3 weeks from initiation of study treatment

* Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>= 1500/mm\^3 (to be performed within 28 days prior to day 1 of protocol therapy)

* NOTE: Growth factor is not permitted within 14 days of ANC assessment unless cytopenia is secondary to disease involvement
