A Study to Evaluate the Adverse Events, and Efficacy of Intravenous (IV) of Telisotuzumab Adizutecan in Combination With IV Oxaliplatin, Fluorouracil, Folinic Acid/Leucovorin, Bevacizumab, Panitumumab in Adult Participants With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

CRC is the third most common type of cancer diagnosed worldwide with developed countries at highest risk. The purpose of this study is to assess adverse events and change in disease activity when telisotuzumab adizutecan is given in combination with oxaliplatin, fluorouracil (5FU), leucovorin (LV) (FOLFOX), and bevacizumab or panitumumab. Telisotuzumab adizutecan is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of mCRC. Fluorouracil and leucovorin are drugs approved for the treatment of mCRC. This study will be divided into two stages, with the first stage treating participants with increasing doses of telisotuzumab adizutecan with FOLFOX and bevacizumab or 5FU/LV and panitumumab until the dose reached is tolerable and expected to be efficacious. Participants will then be randomized into 3 groups called treatment arms where one group will receive one of two optimized doses of telisotuzumab adizutecan from the dose escalation phase with FOLFOX and bevacizumab or 5FU/LV and panitumumab, or a comparator of FOLFOX and bevacizumab or panitumumab. Approximately 390 adult participants with mCRC will be enrolled in the study in 100 sites worldwide. In the dose escalation stage participants will be treated with increasing intravenous (IV) doses of telisotuzumab adizutecan with FOLFOX and bevacizumab or 5FU/LV and panitumumab until the dose reached is tolerable and expected to be efficacious. In the dose optimization stage participants will be receive FOLFOX or receive 5FU/LV, but with one of two optimized doses of telisotuzumab adizutecan, or a comparator of FOLFOX and bevacizumab/pantitumumab. The study will run for a duration of approximately 6 years. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved institution (hospital or clinic). The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by medical assessments, blood tests, questionnaires and side effects.

A Study Assessing Adverse Events and Disease Activity of Intravenously (IV) Infused Telisotuzumab Adizutecan in Adult Participants With c-Met Protein Above Cutoff Level Above Refractory Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common type of cancer diagnosed worldwide and in China. The purpose of this study is to assess adverse events and change in disease activity of intravenously (IV) infused telisotuzumab adizutecan in adult participants with c-Met protein above cutoff level refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Telisotuzumab adizutecan is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of CRC. Participants are put into treatment arms and each treatment arm receives a different dose of telisotuzumab adizutecan. Up to approximately 60 adult participants with c-Met protein above cutoff level refractory mCRC, will be enrolled in the study at approximately 80 sites in 7 countries. Participants will receive intravenously (IV) infused telisotuzumab adizutecan dose A or B. The total study duration will be approximately 4 years. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved institution (hospital or clinic). The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by medical assessments, blood tests, questionnaires and side effects.

A Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Targeted Therapies in Subpopulations of Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (INTRINSIC)

Eligible participants with mCRC will be enrolled into specific treatment arms based on their biomarker assay results.

Immunotherapy Using Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes for Patients With Metastatic Cancer

Background: The NCI Surgery Branch has developed an experimental therapy that involves taking white blood cells from patients' tumors, growing them in the laboratory in large numbers, and then giving the cells back to the patient. These cells are called Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes, or TIL and we have given this type of treatment to over 200 patients with melanoma. Researchers want to know if TIL shrink s tumors in people with digestive tract, urothelial, breast, or ovarian/endometrial cancers. In this study, we are selecting a specific subset of white blood cells from the tumor that we think are the most effective in fighting tumors and will use only these cells in making the tumor fighting cells. Objective: The purpose of this study is to see if these specifically selected tumor fighting cells can cause digestive tract, urothelial, breast, or ovarian/endometrial tumors to shrink and to see if this treatment is safe. Eligibility: \- Adults age 18-72 with upper or lower gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, genitourinary, breast, ovarian/endometrial cancer, or glioblastoma refractory to standard chemotherapy. Design: Work up stage: Patients will be seen as an outpatient at the NIH clinical Center and undergo a history and physical examination, scans, x-rays, lab tests, and other tests as needed. Surgery: If the patients meet all of the requirements for the study they will undergo surgery to remove a tumor that can be used to grow the TIL product. Leukapheresis: Patients may undergo leukapheresis to obtain additional white blood cells. (Leukapheresis is a common procedure, which removes only the white blood cells from the patient.) Treatment: Once their cells have grown, the patients will be admitted to the hospital for the conditioning chemotherapy, the TIL cells and aldesleukin. They will stay in the hospital for about 4 weeks for the treatment. Follow up: Patients will return to the clinic for a physical exam, review of side effects, lab tests, and scans about every 1-3 months for the first year, and then every 6 months to 1 year as long as their tumors are shrinking. Follow up visits will take up to 2 days.

Phase I/II Study of the Combination Immunotherapy Regimen: SX-682, TriAdeno Vaccine, Retifanlimab and IL-15 Agonist N-803 (STAR15) for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (mCRC)

Background: Each year, more than 32,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with colorectal cancer that has returned or progressed after treatment and spread to other organs. This is called metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Most people with mCRC survive only about 2 years. Objective: To test the ability of a combination of up to 4 experimental anti-cancer drugs treat mCRC. The names of these drugs are retifanlimab, TriAdeno vaccine, N-803, and SX-682. They are described below. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 years or older with mCRC. Participants must have Design: Participants will be screened. This includes having a physical exam, blood tests, urine tests, and imaging tests. If signed on to the study, participants will have 2 tumor biopsies. One when starting the study and once about 8 weeks after bring on the study. Participants will receive $500 for each biopsy. Participants will be treated with either 3 or 4 drugs and will receive a detailed calendar explaining when each drug is given. Retifanlimab is given every 4 weeks through an IV (an IV is tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein in the arm). N-803 is injected under the skin on the abdomen every 4 weeks. TriAdeno vaccine is injected under the skin of the upper arm or thigh once a month for 3 doses and then once every 3 months. Some participants will also receive a 4th drug. SX-682 is a pill taken by mouth. Participants will take this drug 2 times a day at home for about 3 weeks of each month. Study treatment will continue up to 2 years. Follow-up phone calls/emails may continue for 3 more years.

Participants will: Take FOLFIRI + ivonescimab or FOLFIRI + bevacizumab every 2 weeks for a maximum of 24 months Visit the clinic once every 2 weeks for checkups and tests, and have imaging done every 8 weeks Complete some quality of life questionnaires every 8 weeks

Evaluation of RBS2418 in Patients With Advanced, Metastatic, and Progressive Colorectal Cancer

RBS2418 is a specific immune modulator that works through the inhibition of ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) and is designed to lead to anti-tumor immunity by protecting endogenous 2'-3'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate (cGAMP) from hydrolysis and leading to the activation of antigen-presenting cells followed by T cell activation. The hypothesis is that RBS2418 versus placebo will be generally safe, well-tolerated, immunogenic, and will lead to anti-tumor responses in adult subjects for the treatment of advanced, metastatic, and progressive colorectal cancer (CRC).

FAPI Molecular Imaging for Diagnosis of the CMS4 Unfavorable Colorectal Cancer Subtype

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the 3rd most common cancer worldwide and accounts for \~14,000 new diagnoses and \~5,000 deaths in the Netherlands yearly (1.9 million and 935 thousand on a global level). Large scale transcriptional profiling of primary CRC tumors has revealed the presence of four distinct consensus molecular subtypes (CMSs). The CMS4 subtype is associated with a poor prognosis, especially in early CRC, and may benefit less from several standard systemic treatments (e.g. oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, cetuximab), while being relatively sensitive to irinotecan. This is relevant as in the metastatic setting often the first choice first-line systemic therapy regimen is oxaliplatin and not irinotecan-based. Furthermore, tumor cells can acquire a CMS4 phenotype following exposure to chemotherapy, which may contribute to therapy resistance. CMS4 accounts for \~25% of all early-stage CRC patients and is more prevalent in advanced disease stages (\~40% in stage IV CRC). Currently available CMS4 diagnostic tests require tumor tissue samples. The interpretation of biopsy-based CMS4 diagnosis is however complicated by large intra- and inter-lesion heterogeneity of CMS4 status. Extensive biopsy protocols could address the problem of CMS4 heterogeneity but are challenging in routine clinical practice. The development of CMS4-targeted therapy strategies therefore requires a more robust and clinically applicable diagnostic test for comprehensive quantitative assessment of CMS4 status of all lesions - primary and metastatic - in individual cancer patients. A promising solution for such a diagnostic test is to use a radiotracer that enables the quantitative assessment of CMS4 in vivo by whole body molecular imaging. This technique is particularly suited to assess biomarkers with heterogeneous expression: for diagnostic purposes, as a companion diagnostic for (targeted) therapies, or as part of a 'theranostic' strategy where patient selection using the diagnostic radiotracer is followed by treatment with the same tracer labeled to a therapeutic compound. Radiolabeled fibroblast activating protein inhibitor (FAPI) is an emerging diagnostic radiotracer that allows the comprehensive whole-body, whole-tumor assessment of fibroblast activation protein (FAP) expression in humans with a very low background uptake also at frequent CRC metastatic sites including the liver. FAP is an excellent candidate molecular imaging target for CMS4, as it is highly expressed on cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) that are abundantly present in this CRC subtype. Indeed, the investigators found that FAP gene-expression measured in tumor biopsies - as a single marker - accurately discriminates CMS4 from other CRC subtypes (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC): 0.91; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.90-0.93). The FoCus study will aim to take a next step by relating in vivo assessed FAP protein-expression by \[18F\]-ALF-FAPI-74 positron emission tomography (PET) / computed tomography (CT) to CMS4 status in patients eligible for colorectal liver metastatectomy as a first proof of concept. Ultimately this will contribute to the development of a diagnostic tool for the comprehensive assessment of CMS4 load in patients with (metastatic) CRC by using \[18F\]-ALF-FAPI-74 PET/CT molecular imaging, to guide CMS4 subtype-directed therapy decisions.

A Study of On-treatment ctDNA Changes in Chemo-refractory Colorectal Cancer Patients

COPERNIC is an international, multicentre, single-arm study. Chemo-refractory mCRC subjects who meet all eligibility criteria will be treated with standard systemic chemotherapy (the decision about the treatment regimen being made by the treating physician) and undergo tumour assessment by standard imaging (either CT scan or MRI scan) at baseline and every 8 or 12 weeks until evidence of tumour progression. Response to treatment will be assessed by the local investigators according to the RECIST criteria version 1.1. Blinded, independent central review of the imaging scan will be carried out, this having no impact on treatment decisions thatwhich will remain the prerogative of the treating physician. Serial blood samples from study subjects will be collected at pre-defined time points for ctDNA testing. Also, archived tumour tissue from each subject will be collected. Prospective and retrospective ctDNA analyses on blood samples will be carried out, and dynamics of ctDNA will be correlated with treatment outcomes prognosis.
