Anti-EGFR Agents in Patients With Right-sided Advanced Colorectal Cancer With Wild-type RAS and AREG/EREG High Status
280 participantsStarted 2026-04-15
Plain-language summary
The aim of this trial is to assess the feasibility of EREG/AREG assessment as a clinical diagnostic standard, used to guide clinical decision making in right-PTL, RAS-wt aCRC. Further to this, the aim is to determine whether EREG/AREG status identifies right-PTL participants who will benefit from the addition of anti-EGFR therapy to first-line chemotherapy.

Inclusion Criteria for Registration:
* Age ≥18 years
* Biopsy-confirmed adenocarcinoma of the colon with a right primary tumour location
* aCRC defined as either M1 or locally inoperable disease
* Tumour RAS status either wild-type (by local testing) or unknown
* Fit for combination chemotherapy plus anti-EGFR agent
* Sufficient tumour material for EREG/AREG analysis
* Written informed consent for registration
Exclusion Criteria for Registration
* Tumour RAS-mutation present
* Prior chemotherapy for aCRC
* Prior anti-EGFR agent therapy
Inclusion Criteria for Randomisation:
* Registered in ARIEL-ENGIC
* Local testing confirms tumour RAS-wt status
* ARIEL-ENGIC central testing confirms tumour EREG/AREG high
* Tumour measurable by RECIST v1.1 criteria on CT scan
* Participants have had CT scan within the timeframes stipulated (If there is a contrast reaction, then non-contrast CT with MRI is acceptable, assuming at least one of these modalities shows measurable disease at baseline for ETS evaluation and both modalities are repeated at the trial timepoints at week 8 and 16 and every 8 weeks until disease progression.)
* Pre-randomisation laboratory tests :
* Neutrophils ≥1.5 x109/l and platelet count ≥100 x109/l
* Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.25 x upper limit of normal (ULN), alkaline phosphatase
* 5x ULN, and serum transaminase (either AST or ALT) ≤ 2.5 x ULN
* Estimated creatinine clearance ≥50ml/min (creatinine clearance estimated as per local practice)
* WHO performance status…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
