- Recommended dose (RD) of evorpacept (ALX148) in combination with cetuximab and pembrolizumab 1.(mg/kg) [ Time Frame: 4 months ]To determine the recommended dose (RD) of evorpacept (ALX148) in combination with cetuximab and pembrolizumab
- Objective response rate (ORR, per RECIST v1.1) (%) [ Time Frame: 6 months ]To determine the objective response rate (ORR), defined as partial response or complete response, with evorpacept (ALX148), cetuximab, and pembrolizumab using RECIST v1.1 in patients with microsatellite stable (MSS) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who have progressed on at least two lines of standard therapy
- Disease control rate per RECIST v1.1. (%) [ Time Frame: 24 months ]To determine the disease-control rate (DCR), defined as stable disease, partial response, or complete response with evorpacept (ALX148), cetuximab, and pembrolizumab using RECIST v1.1
- Duration of response per RECIST v1.1. (months) [ Time Frame: 24 months ]To determine the duration of response (DOR) with evorpacept (ALX148), cetuximab, and pembrolizumab, defined as the time from response (partial or complete) to progression
- Progression-free survival (PFS, per RECIST v1.1) (months) [ Time Frame: 48 months ]To determine the progression-free survival (PFS) with evorpacept (ALX148), cetuximab, and pembrolizumab, defined as the time from enrollment to the first observation of progression using RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause
- Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: 48 months ]To determine the overall survival (OS) with evorpacept (ALX148), cetuximab, and pembrolizumab, defined as the time from enrollment to death from any cause
- First cycle dose-limiting toxicities in the safety run-in stage [ Time Frame: 4 months ]To determine the first cycle dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) of evorpacept (ALX148), cetuximab, and pembrolizumab in stage 1
- Safety and tolerability according to the NCI CTCAE v5.0 [ Time Frame: 48 months ]To evaluate the safety and tolerability of evorpacept (ALX148), cetuximab, and pembrolizumab, defined and graded according to the NCI CTCAE v5.0
