In plain English

This study is looking at whether an experimental treatment called BNT314, combined with another experimental treatment called pumitamig (BNT327) and chemotherapy, is helpful and safe for people with advanced bowel (colorectal) cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. The study is run by BioNTech SE.

Who can take part

  • Have bowel or rectal cancer (a type called adenocarcinoma) that cannot be removed by surgery and has spread
  • Have a type of tumour known as non-MSI-H or pMMR (tested using an approved test)
  • Have cancer that can be measured on scans
  • Can provide a tumour tissue sample (a recent one is preferred, but an older sample less than 2 years old may be accepted)
  • Are well enough to carry out light activity (performance status 0 or 1)
  • Are expected to live at least 12 weeks
  • Have healthy enough organs and bone marrow, checked within 7 days before starting
  • Depending on the study part: may have had at least 2 previous courses of treatment, have got worse after first-line chemotherapy, or have not had any previous whole-body treatment for this type of metastatic cancer (some earlier treatment with curative intent may be allowed if finished at least 6 months before)

  • Have uncontrolled or significant heart disease, or heart pumping strength below 50%
  • Have fluid build-up around the lungs, abdomen or heart that needs draining
  • Have active cancer spread to the brain that is causing symptoms or needs steroids or seizure medicines (some treated or symptom-free cases may still join)
  • Have ongoing side effects from previous cancer treatment (except hair loss) that have not settled to a mild level
  • For some parts of the study: unusual reactions to previous cancer drugs, or a known DPD (dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase) deficiency
  • Have had another cancer in the past 2 years, apart from certain fully treated cases
  • Have had a blocked small bowel needing hospital care in the past 3 months
  • Lose 1 gram or more of protein in their urine over 24 hours

About This Trial

This randomized, multi-site, three-part study will test a new treatment called BNT314, which is designed to help the body's own defense to fight cancer in combination with another new treatment (pumitamig, which is a cancer immunotherapy drug also known as BNT327 and PM8002) and chemotherapy in participants with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).

More detail

Participants with microsatellite stable or mismatch repair proficient (MSS/pMMR) mCRC with progressive disease to the metastatic first line (1L) setting (Parts B and C) and beyond (Part A) as well as treatment-naïve (for Part B) are eligible to participate in the study. The main study goals are as follows: * Part A (Phase 1, safety run-in, dose escalation): To see if BNT314 in combination with pumitamig can be given safely, without causing severe side effects in participants. * Part B (Phase 1, dose optimization): To see if BNT314 in combination with pumitamig and standard of care (SoC) chemotherapy is safe for participants and to find out the right dose of BNT314 that can be used in Part C. * Part C (Phase 2, randomization against SoC): To see how well treatment works when BNT314 and pumitamig are given in combination with the usual SoC chemotherapy treatment. In all three parts, the study will also look whether BNT314 can shrink tumors or slow down their growth when used with pumitamig and chemotherapy. The study consists of a period to assess eligibility, a treatment period, a safety follow-up period, and a long-term survival follow-up period. The sponsor plans to proactively assess participant safety on a regular basis for the duration of the study according to a predefined internal review committee. In addition, an independent data monitoring committee will be developed to provide medical oversight over Part C of the study. Participants in the study will continue to receive treatment until their disease worsens, they can no longer tolerate the treatment, the participant chooses to leave the study, or the study ends. They are expected to be on treatment for about of 6-10 months on average. Participants may stop treatment early if their disease worsens or side effects occur but can continue longer if the disease stays controlled and the therapy is well-tolerated. After that, they will be monitored for their survival and any potential long-term side effects even after they stop participating in the study. Participants will be randomized to the treatment groups in Part B and Part C, which means participants will be assigned by equal chance to a treatment group.
