Summary:

      This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1B/2 study to evaluate the safety and assess the
      preliminary anti-tumor activity of binimetinib administered in combination with nivolumab or
      nivolumab + ipilimumab in adult patients with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC)
      with microsatellite stable (MSS) disease and presence of a RAS mutation that have received at
      least one prior line of therapy and no more than 2 prior lines of therapy. The study contains
      a Phase 1b period to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose
      (RP2D) and schedule of binimetinib followed by a randomized Phase 2 period to assess the
      efficacy of the combinations.
    

Eligibility criteria:

        Key Inclusion Criteria

          -  Measurable, histologically/cytologically confirmed metastatic colorectal cancer
             (mCRC).

          -  Able to provide a sufficient amount of representative tumor specimen for central
             laboratory testing of RAS mutation status and microsatellite stable (MSS).

               -  If a fresh tissue sample is provided, a blood sample is required.

          -  Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) categorized as microsatellite stable (MSS) by
             polymerase chain reaction (PCR) per local assay at any time prior to Screening or by
             the central laboratory.

          -  RAS mutation per local assay at any time prior to Screening or by the central
             laboratory.

          -  Have received at least 1 prior line of therapy and meets at least one of the following
             criteria:

               -  were unable to tolerate the prior first-line regimen

               -  experienced disease progression during or after prior first-line regimen for
                  metastatic disease

               -  progressed during or within 3 months of completing adjuvant chemotherapy. Note:
                  Generally, treatments that are separated by an event of progression are
                  considered different regimens.

          -  Have received no more than 2 prior lines of therapy (maintenance therapy given in the
             metastatic setting will not be considered a separate regimen). Generally, treatments
             that are separated by an event of progression are considered different regimens.

          -  Adequate bone marrow, cardiac, kidney and liver function

          -  Able to take oral medications

          -  Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0 or 1.

          -  Female patients are either postmenopausal for at least 1 year, are surgically sterile
             for at least 6 weeks, or must agree to take appropriate precautions to avoid pregnancy
             from screening through follow-up if of child-bearing potential

          -  Non-sterile male patients who are sexually active with female partners of childbearing
             potential must agree to follow instructions for acceptable or highly effective
             method(s) of contraception for the duration of study treatment and for 7 months after
             the last dose of study treatment with nivolumab

             targeting T-cell co-stimulation or checkpoint pathways.
