Treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer patients beyond the second line remains challenging, highlighting the need for early phase trials of combination therapies for patients who had disease progression during or following two prior lines of therapy. Leveraging hybrid control design in these trials may preserve the benefits of randomization while strengthening evidence by integrating historical trial data. Few examples have been established to assess the applicability of such design in supporting early phase metastatic colorectal cancer trials. MORPHEUS-CRC is an umbrella, multicenter, open-label, phase Ib/II, randomized, controlled trial (NCT03555149), with active experimental arms ongoing. Patients enrolled were assigned to a control arm (regorafenib, 15 patients randomized and 13 analysed) or multiple experimental arms for immunotherapy-based treatment combinations. One experimental arm (atezolizumab + isatuximab, 15 patients randomized and analysed) was completed and included in the hybrid-control study, where the hybrid-control arm was constructed by integrating data from the IMblaze370 phase 3 trial (NCT02788279). To estimate treatment efficacy, Cox and logistic regression models were used in a frequentist framework with standardized mortality ratio weighting or in a Bayesian framework with commensurate priors. The primary endpoint is objective response rate, while disease control rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival were the outcomes assessed in the hybrid-control study. The experimental arm showed no efficacy signal, yet a well-tolerated safety profile in the MORPHEUS-CRC trial. Treatment effects estimated in hybrid control design were comparable to those in the MORPHEUS-CRC trial using either frequentist or Bayesian models. Hybrid control provides comparable treatment-effect estimates with generally improved precision, and thus can be of value to inform early-phase clinical development in metastatic colorectal cancer. Treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer – meaning that it has spread to other parts of the body – is difficult, and new therapies are needed for patients when standard therapies stop working. We compare a combination of drugs with a standard treatment for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer in a clinical trial, in which patients are randomly allocated to either the combination or the control (standard) treatment. We find that while the combination is safe, it isn’t effective. We also show, however, that we can combine data from our control group and the control group of a previous trial to more precisely estimate treatment effects. Statistical approaches such as this to combine data from trials may mean that fewer patients have to be recruited to control groups in future trials, to improve access to potentially effective new treatments. Li et al. report outcomes from the atezolizumab/isatuximab arm of the phase Ib/II MORPHEUS-CRC trial in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. In addition, the authors leverage historical control data from the phase III IMblaze370 study to provide more precise treatment effect estimates.
