Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Standard (or usual) treatments for this type of colorectal cancer may include mFOLFOX6 with or without bevacizumab. Researchers want to learn if adding MK-1084 (the study medicine) and cetuximab to mFOLFOX6 can treat locally advanced or mCRC with the KRAS G12C mutation. MK-1084 and cetuximab are targeted therapies.
The goals of this study are to learn:
* About the safety of MK-1084 with cetuximab and mFOLFOX6 and if people tolerate the treatments
* If people who receive MK-1084 with cetuximab and mFOLFOX6 live longer without mCRC growing or spreading compared to people who receive mFOLFOX6 with or without bevacizumab.

MK-1084 + Cetuximab + mFOLFOX6
Participants will receive MK-1084 orally, cetuximab per label every 2 weeks (Q2W), and mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy: oxaliplatin per label every 2 weeks (Q2W), leucovorin or levofolinate calcium per label Q2W, and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) per label Q2W. Treatment will continue until criteria for discontinuation is met.
