Full Title
A Phase 3 Study of MK-4280A (Coformulated Favezelimab [MK-4280] Plus Pembrolizumab [MK-3475]) Versus Standard of Care in Previously Treated Metastatic PDL1 Positive Colorectal Cancer (WIRB)Purpose
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of the investigational drug MK-4280A with standard therapies for metastatic colorectal cancer that contains the PD-L1 protein. MK-4280A is an immunotherapy that combines two drugs: favezelimab and pembrolizumab. These medications work by boosting the ability of the immune system to find and kill cancer cells.
Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to receive MK-4280A or one of two standard therapies: regorafenib or TAS-102. MK-4280A is given intravenously (by vein) and the standard treatments are taken orally (by mouth).
