Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Advanced disease, defined as cancer that is either metastatic or locally advanced and unresectable and for which additional radiation therapy or other locoregional therapies are not considered feasible.
  • Progression of disease after receiving only 1 prior regimen considered standard of care for CRC in the advanced/metastatic setting, and it must have been an oxaliplatin containing regimen. Patients who have mismatch repair deficiency/ high microsatellite instability (dMMR/MSI-H) CRC must have also received prior treatment with pembrolizumab or a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)/European Union (EU)-approved programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/ programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor. Patients may have received prior treatment with bevacizumab or an European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved biosimilar. Patients who developed metastatic CRC within 12 months of completion of adjuvant oxaliplatin and 5-FU based therapy are also eligible.
  • Histologic or cytologic evidence of a malignant colorectal tumor of adenocarcinoma or poorly differentiated histology that is laboratory-confirmed to be RAS mutant. Confirmation of RAS mutant status by liquid biopsy is acceptable only if the tumor sample is not available and the liquid biopsy was performed before initiation of the patient's prior treatment regimen. Patients who convert to RAS mutant status after initially having documented wild-type histology are not eligible.
  • Disease that is measurable by standard imaging techniques by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. For patients with prior radiation therapy, measurable lesions must be outside of any prior radiation field(s), unless disease progression has been documented at that disease site subsequent to radiation.

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase 2 Study of Ompenaclid Versus Placebo in Combination With FOLFIRI Plus Bevacizumab in Patients With Previously Treated RAS Mutant Advanced or Metastatic Colorectal Cancer

The purpose of this study is to measure tumor response to treatment with ompenaclid (RGX-202-01) in patients with previously treated RAS mutant advanced or metastatic CRC. All patients will receive treatment with FOLFIRI and bevacizumab. In addition, patients will be randomized to receive either ompenaclid 3000 mg BID or matching placebo (herein referred to as Study Drug). Each treatment cycle is 28 days in duration.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled study of ompenaclid or matching placebo (Study Drug) in combination with standard-of-care FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab as background therapy in patients with previously treated RAS mutant advanced or metastatic CRC. Randomization will be stratified by whether or not the patient received prior treatment with bevacizumab or an EMA-approved biosimilar. Written informed consent must be obtained prior to initiating any screening activities, except where patients have agreed to the use of previously available tests completed within 28 days of the planned first dose of Study Drug, e.g., computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Screening for study eligibility must be completed within 28 days prior to first dose of Study Drug. Patients who are determined to be eligible, based on Screening assessments, will be randomized in the study, and receive their first dose of Study Drug on Cycle 1, Day 1. A treatment cycle is 28 days in duration. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive oral administration of the five 600-mg tablets BID of ompenaclid or matching placebo (Study Drug). The intravenous FOLFIRI dose and schedule for all patients will be irinotecan 180 mg/m2 over 90 minutes concurrently with folinic acid 400 mg/m2 over 2 hours,followed by 5-FU 2400 mg/m2 over 46 hours, on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle. The bevacizumab dose of 5 mg/kg will be administered intravenously on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle. During treatment, patients will attend study center visits and have study evaluations performed as detailed in the Schedule of Events (Table 1-1). All routine study visits are to be conducted on an outpatient basis. Patients may continue to receive Study Drug until the development of PD, or another discontinuation criterion is met, including unacceptable toxicity, voluntary withdrawal from treatment, or closure of the study by the Sponsor; no maximum duration of therapy has been set. After discontinuation of the Study Drug, patients will complete an End of Treatment (EOT) visit within 21 days after their last dose of Study Drug. Safety follow-up is to be conducted by telephone 30 days (+/- 3 days) after their last dose of Study Drug and longer if drug-related AEs have not resolved at that time. Patients and/or their health care providers will also be contacted by telephone approximately every 90 days for information on evidence of PD in settings in which discontinuation of Study Drug was for reasons other than PD, such as an adverse event (AE) or investigator discretion, and/or for assessment of survival status (tumor measurements as specified in the protocol are not required after the EOT visit). This extended follow-up for disease status and survival after discontinuation of the Study Drug may continue until the target number of disease progression events have been observed or for 12 months after the patient's EOT visit, whichever is later. The End of Study for a given patient is defined as the date of the last extended follow-up disease/survival status, or until death, withdrawal of consent, loss to follow-up, or study closure, whichever occurs first.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Objective Response Rate

    ORR is defined as the proportion of patients achieving a best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per the investigators using RECIST version 1.1. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

    Measured: From randomization until development of radiographic disease progression (up to approximately 12 months).

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of objectively determined progressive disease (PD) per the investigators using RECIST version 1.1 or death from any cause, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 12 months).

    Measured: From randomization until development of radiographic disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever comes first.

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause. The proportions of participants who have not experienced OS events (death) at 9 months and 12 months are presented.

    Measured: From randomization until death due to any cause.

  3. Duration of Response (DoR)

    DoR is defined as the time from the date of objectively determined PR or CR (whichever status is recorded first) to the date of PD per the investigators using RECIST version 1.1 or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. The median DoR was not reached in both groups.

    Measured: From randomization until development of radiographic disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever comes first (up to approximately 12 months).

  4. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    DCR is defined as the proportion of patients achieving a BOR of CR, PR, or stable disease (SD).

    Measured: From randomization until development of radiographic disease progression (up to approximately 12 months).

  5. Frequency of Adverse Events (AEs)

    Percentage of patients with treatment-emergent AEs (TEAE).

    Measured: From the signing of informed consent until 30 days (+/- 3 days) after the last dose of study drug (up to approximately 12 months).

  6. Pharmacokinetics of Ompenaclid

    Steady state concentration of ompenaclid.

    Measured: At Cycle 1 day 15 and Cycle 2 day 15 (each cycle is 28 days in length)

  7. Exploratory Biomarkers That May Correlate With Efficacy Outcomes

    Creatine kinase B (CKB) levels identified in baseline tumor tissue samples analyzed retrospectively.

    Measured: At baseline

  8. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Rate at 6 and 9 Months

    PFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of objectively determined progressive disease (PD) per the investigators using RECIST version 1.1 or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. The proportions of participants who have not experienced PFS events (radiological disease progression or death) at 6 months and 9 months are presented.

    Measured: From randomization until development of radiographic disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever comes first.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ompenaclid, Bevacizumab and FOLFIRI regimen in people with Colorectal Cancer and Metastatic Colon Cancer, run by Inspirna, Inc. at 28 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 20 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Feb 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 28 sites in Spain, Belgium, France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Feb 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective Response Rate (time frame: From randomization until development of radiographic disease progression (up to approximately 12 months).). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
