Study of Petosemtamab Plus Chemotherapy Versus Cetuximab Plus Chemotherapy in RAS and BRAF Wild-type, Unresectable or Metastatic, Left-sided Colorectal Cancer (LiGeR-CRC1)
United States, Puerto Rico960 participantsStarted 2026-08-11
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate how well petosemtamab in combination with chemotherapy works against colorectal cancer located on the left side of the colon that cannot be safely removed by surgery or has spread to other parts of the body.
Participants will receive either petosemtamab + doctor's choice of chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI) or standard-of-care cetuximab + doctor's choice of chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI). No participants will be given placebo.
The treatment duration will be different for every participant. If a participant's cancer stays the same or gets better, and there are not any serious problems, participants can keep getting study treatment for as long as the study is open.
Participants will be asked to attend 2 visits at the study clinic for each cycle (duration of cycle is 4 weeks). During visits, there will be various tests (such as blood draws) and procedures (such as imaging) to monitor whether the study treatment is safe and effective. The overall study duration (including screening, treatment, and follow-up) will be different for every participant.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Key Inclusion Criteria:
* Histologically or cytologically confirmed left-sided colorectal adenocarcinoma that is unresectable or metastatic.
* Must have documented KRAS and NRAS wild type (wt) colorectal cancer (CRC), as determined by medical record of results from local testing or as assessed by central testing. Local testing must have been conducted in accordance with local guidelines using an Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved test or a laboratory-developed test that is validated in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified laboratory (sites in the United States) or an accredited local laboratory (sites outside of the United States). Next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based test results from tumor tissue are required for determining eligibility. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based tests, sanger sequencing, or pyrosequencing test results are not allowed.
* Has not received any prior systemic therapy for unresectable or metastatic CRC.
* Must be eligible for treatment with mFOLFOX6 (if assigned to receive mFOLFOX6) or FOLFIRI (if assigned to receive FOLFIRI) according to local regulatory approvals and SOC guidelines.
Key Exclusion Criteria:
* BRAF mutation, and/or microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H)/deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) and/or protocol specified tumor status as documented by local test results in the medical record or from central testing or known documented activating HRAS mutation identified prior to enrollment from local tes…
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?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
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?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
