Protocol Title
BIOMARCER-2 – Biomarker informed optimal management of advanced RAS wild type colorectal cancer.
Purpose of the Study
Choosing the optimal therapy for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer is challenging. A number of factors are taken into consideration when selecting the most appropriate treatment plan, and include prior treatment, RAS/BRAF mutation status, mismatch repair status and primary tumour location.
This study will test colorectal tumour samples for a prognostic biomarker expression called amphiregulin (AREG) and epiregulin (EREG). These biomarkers indicate a possible sensitivity to cancer treatment known as anti-EGFR treatment. Patients who are determined to have high AREG and/or EREG expression levels for right sided RAS/BRAF wild-type, metastatic colorectal cancer will receive targeted treatment with anti-EGFR therapy. The study aims to demonstrate the progression free survival (PFS) benefit in those patients receiving anti-EGFR based treatment in the 2nd or later line setting.
