A Study of Amivantamab Monotherapy and in Addition to Standard-of-Care Chemotherapy in Participants With Advanced or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Multiple Cancer Types

The purpose of this study is to assess the anti-tumor activity of amivantamab as a
monotherapy (Cohorts A, B, and C), to characterize the safety of amivantamab when added to
standard-of care (SoC) chemotherapy in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC)
(Ph2 cohorts), and to assess the recommended phase 2 combination dose (RP2CD) of amivantamab
when added to SoC chemotherapy (Ph1b cohorts).

Hormonal Therapy after Pertuzumab and Trastuzumab for the Treatment of Hormone Receptor Positive, HER2 Positive Breast Cancer, the ADEPT study

Breast

This phase II trial studies the effect of hormonal therapy given after (adjuvant) combination pertuzumab/trastuzumab in treating patients with hormone receptor positive, HER2 positive breast cancer. The drugs trastuzumab and pertuzumab are both monoclonal antibodies, which are disease-fighting proteins made by cloned immune cells. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormonal therapy, such as letrozole, anastrozole, exemestane, and tamoxifen, block the use of estrogen by the tumor cells. Giving hormonal therapy after pertuzumab and trastuzumab may kill any remaining tumor cells in patients with breast cancer.

A Study of Encorafenib Plus Cetuximab With or Without Chemotherapy in People With Previously Untreated Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

Multiple Cancer Types

The purpose of this study is to evaluate two study medicines (encorafenib plus cetuximab)
taken alone or together with standard chemotherapy for the potential treatment of colorectal
cancer that:

- has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic);

- has a certain type of abnormal gene called "BRAF"; and

- has not received prior treatment.

Participants in this study will receive one of the following study treatments:

- Encorafenib plus cetuximab: These participants will receive encorafenib by mouth at home
every day and cetuximab once every two weeks by intravenous (IV) infusion (an injection
into the vein) at the study clinic.

- Encorafenib plus cetuximab with chemotherapy: These participants will receive
encorafenib and cetuximab in the way described in the bullet above. Additionally, they
will receive standard chemotherapy by IV infusion and oral treatment at home.

- Chemotherapy alone: These participants will receive chemotherapy, the standard treatment
for this condition, by IV infusion at the study clinics and oral treatment at home.

The study team will monitor how each participant responds to the study treatment for up to
about 3 years.

Testing the Usual Treatment of Radiation Therapy and Hormonal Therapy to Hormonal Therapy alone for Low-Risk, Early Stage Breast Cancer, the DEBRA Trial

Breast

This phase III trial compares the effect of radiation therapy combined with hormonal therapy versus hormonal therapy alone in treating patients with low risk, early stage breast cancer with Oncotype Dx Recurrence =< 18. Oncotype DX is a laboratory test which results in a score that is used to help predict whether breast cancer will spread to other parts of the body or come back. Radiation therapy uses high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors but may result in some side effects. Hormones called estrogen and progesterone may contribute to the growth of breast tumor cells. Hormone therapy, also called endocrine therapy, may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking or removing these hormones. This clinical trial may help researchers understand if patients with low-risk, early stage breast cancer who have Oncotype recurrence score of =< 18 can safely omit radiation therapy and only be treated with hormonal therapy without losing any radiation treatment benefit.

Testing the Addition of an Anti-Cancer Drug, Irinotecan, to the Standard Chemotherapy Treatment (FOLFOX) after Long-Course Radiation Therapy for Advanced-Stage Rectal Cancers to Improve the Rate of Complete Response and Long-Term Rates of Organ Preservation

Rectal

This phase II trial compares the effect of usual treatment approach alone (FOLFOX or CAPOX after chemoradiation) with using FOLFIRINOX after chemoradiation in patients with stage II-III rectal cancer. Combination chemotherapy regiments, such as FOLFIRINOX [folinic acid (leucovorin), fluorouracil, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin], FOLFOX (leucovorin, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin), or CAPOX (capecitabin and oxaliplatin) use more than one anticancer drug that work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. FOLFOX or CAPOX are used after chemoradiation as usual treatment for rectal cancer. Giving FOLFIRINOX after chemoradiation may increase the response rate for the primary rectal tumor and lead to higher rates of clinical complete response (and thus a chance to avoid surgery) compared to FOLFOX or CAPOX after chemoradiation in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.
