Brief Summary:
This randomized phase II trial studies how well irinotecan and cetuximab with or without bevacizumab work in treating patients with RAS wild-type colorectal cancer that has spread to other places in the body (locally advanced/metastatic) and cannot be removed by surgery. Irinotecan may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab and bevacizumab, may help the body?s immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving irinotecan and cetuximab with or without bevacizumab may work betting in treating patients with colorectal cancer.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: From the date of randomization to the date of 1st documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 24 months ]
    The distribution of PFS by group will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier. Median by treatment group with confidence intervals will be estimated based on Kaplan-Meier curves. The hazard ratio (HR) with confidence interval will be estimated based on stratified Cox models (stratified by levels of stratification factors), without and with adjusting for baseline clinical/pathological factors. Progression (PD) is defined according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. PD: Any new lesion or increase by ≥50% of previously involved sites from nadir).

  2. 6-month and 12-month Progression-free Survival (PFS) Rates [ Time Frame: From the date of randomization to the date of 1st documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 24 months ]
    The distribution of PFS by group will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier. Six and 12 month PFS rates by treatment group with confidence intervals will be estimated based on Kaplan-Meier curves. The hazard ratio (HR) with confidence interval will be estimated based on stratified Cox models (stratified by levels of stratification factors), without and with adjusting for baseline clinical/pathological factors. Progression (PD) is defined according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. PD: Any new lesion or increase by ≥50% of previously involved sites from nadir).


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Grade 3 or Higher Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Up to 30 days from last dose of study treatment ]
    The number of participants who experienced at least one grade 3 or higher adverse events assessed by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0.

  2. Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: From randomization to the date of death due to any cause, assessed up to 24 months ]
    The distribution of OS by group will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier. Median OS by treatment group with confidence intervals will be estimated based on Kaplan-Meier curves. The HR with confidence interval will be estimated based on stratified Cox models (stratified by levels of stratification factors), without and with adjusting for baseline clinical/pathological factors.

  3. 12-month, 18-month, and 24-month Overall Survival (OS) Rates [ Time Frame: From randomization to the date of death due to any cause, assessed up to 24 months ]
    The distribution of OS by group will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier. Twelve, 18- and 24-month survival rates by treatment group with confidence intervals will be estimated based on Kaplan-Meier curves. The HR with confidence interval will be estimated based on stratified Cox models (stratified by levels of stratification factors), without and with adjusting for baseline clinical/pathological factors.

  4. Disease Control Rate (DCR) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
    Disease control is defined as maintaining Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) or Stable Disease (SD) as the tumor assessment result during the defined time window. DCR (percentage) is defined as number of patients with success of disease control divided by total number of patients in the analysis population multiplied by 100, excluding patients who refuse treatment before the initiation of any treatment. CR: Disappearance of all evidence of disease, PR: Regression of measurable disease and no new sites, PD: Any new lesion or increase by ≥50% of previously involved sites from nadir, SD: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR, nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD taking as reference the MSD

  5. Overall Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
    The response rate (percentage) is the percent of participants whose best response was Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) as defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria. Percentage of successes will be estimated by 100 times the number of successes divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Response rates (including complete and partial response) will be tested using Fisher's exact test. CR: Disappearance of all evidence of disease, PR: Regression of measurable disease and no new sites

  6. Duration of Response (DOR) [ Time Frame: From the date of first tumor assessment with the response status being CR or PR to the date of 1st documented progressive disease, assessed up to 12 months ]
    The distribution of DOR by treatment group will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier. Six and 12 month durable response (i.e. maintaining CR or PR without progressive disease [PD]) rates by treatment group with confidence intervals will be estimated based on Kaplan-Meier curves. The HR with confidence interval will be estimated based on stratified Cox models (stratified by levels of stratification factors), without and with adjusting for baseline clinical/pathological factors.CR: Disappearance of all evidence of disease, PR: Regression of measurable disease and no new sites, PD: Any new lesion or increase by ≥50% of previously involved sites from nadir

  7. Percentage of Participants With Treatment Failure at 6 Months [ Time Frame: assessed at 6 months ]
    TTF is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of treatment discontinuation due to PD, death, or severe AE. The distribution of TTF by treatment group will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier. Six month event-free rates by treatment group with confidence intervals will be estimated based on Kaplan-Meier curves. The HR with confidence interval will be estimated based on stratified Cox models (stratified by levels of stratification factors), without and with adjusting for baseline clinical/pathological factors. PD: Any new lesion or increase by ≥50% of previously involved sites from nadir

  8. Relative Dose Intensity (RDI) [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
    RDI is defined as the total dose of protocol therapy a patient actually received (i.e., summation of actually received dose at each cycle) divided by the total planned dose (i.e., summation of planned dose level at each cycle) multiplied by 100. Separate RDIs will be calculated for irinotecan and cetuximab. Agent-specific RDI will be summarized by medians, and min and max values, all of which will be compared between the two treatment groups by the Wilcoxon Rank sum test.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Change in Genotype Concentrations of Prespecified Gene Mutations in Circulating Cell-free Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) (cfDNA) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 2 years ]
    The mean and median change in mutation concentration for each prespecified gene, and provide the corresponding 95% confidence intervals will be estimated. Cox proportional hazards models will be applied to explore the predictive value of pretreatment mutation status for cetuximab sensitivity and resistance, using PFS and OS as the outcome variables.

  2. Dynamic Change in Mutation Concentration While the Patient is Receiving Cetuximab Treatment [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 2 years ]
    Scatter plots and box plots will be used to illustrate such change.
