A Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Targeted Therapies in Subpopulations of Patients With Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (INTRINSIC)

Multiple Cancer Types

This open-label, exploratory study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of
targeted therapies or immunotherapy as single agents or combinations, in participants with
metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) whose tumors are biomarker positive as per treatment
arm-specific definition. Eligible participants with mCRC will be enrolled into specific
treatment arms based on their biomarker assay results.

Testing Atezolizumab Alone or Atezolizumab Plus Bevacizumab in People with Advanced Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma

Sarcoma

This phase II trial studies how well atezolizumab or atezolizumab plus bevacizumab works in treating patients with alveolar soft part sarcoma that has not been treated, has spread from where it started to other places in the body (advanced) and cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Atezolizumab works by unblocking the immune system, allowing the immune system cells to recognize and then attack tumor cells. Bevacizumab works by controlling the growth of new blood vessels. Giving atezolizumab alone or atezolizumab with bevacizumab may shrink the 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.

A Study of the Drugs Selumetinib vs. Carboplatin and Vincristine in Patients with Low-Grade Glioma

Multiple Cancer Types

This phase III trial compares the effect of selumetinib versus the standard of care treatment with carboplatin and vincristine (CV) in treating patients with newly diagnosed or previously untreated low-grade glioma (LGG) that does not have a genetic abnormality called BRAFV600E mutation and is not associated with systemic neurofibromatosis type 1. Selumetinib works by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and may kill tumor cells. Carboplatin and vincristine are chemotherapy drugs that work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. The overall goal of this study is to see if selumetinib works just as well as the standard treatment of CV for patients with LGG. Another goal of this study is to compare the effects of selumetinib versus CV in subjects with LGG to find out which is better. Additionally, this trial will also examine if treatment with selumetinib improves the quality of life for subjects who take it.
