Brief Summary
- To evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of ERAS-007 in combination with other cancer therapies in study participants with advanced GI malignancies.
- To determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and/or Recommended Dose (RD) of ERAS-007 administered in combination with other cancer therapies.
- To evaluate the antitumor activity of ERAS-007 in combination with other cancer therapies.
- To evaluate the PK profiles of ERAS-007 and other cancer therapies when administered in combination.

Study Arms (4)
Dose Escalation (Parts A1a, A2a, or A3a): ERAS-007 in combination with encorafenib and cetuximab
EXPERIMENTALERAS-007 will be orally administered in combination with encorafenib and cetuximab to study participants with BRAFm CRC in sequential ascending doses until unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or withdrawal of consent.
Dose Escalation (Parts B1a, B2a, B3a or B4a): ERAS-007 in combination with palbociclib
EXPERIMENTALERAS-007 will be orally administered in combination with palbociclib to study participants with KRASm or NRASm CRC and KRASm PDAC in sequential ascending doses until unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or withdrawal of consent.
Dose Expan (Parts A1b, A1c, A2b, A2c, A3b, or A3c): ERAS-007 in combo with encorafenib & cetuximab
EXPERIMENTALERAS-007 will be orally administered at the recommended dose (as determined from Parts A1a, A2a or A3a) in combination with encorafenib and cetuximab to study participants with BRAFm CRC.
Dose Expansion (Parts B1b, B2b, B3b, and B4b): ERAS-007 in combination with palbociclib
EXPERIMENTALERAS-007 will be orally administered at the recommended dose (as determined from Parts B1a, B2a, B3a or B4a) in combination with palbociclib to study participants with KRASm or NRASm CRC.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age ≥ 18 years.
- Willing and able to give written informed consent.
- Have histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic CRC harboring applicable mutation(s) (e.g., BRAF V600E; KRAS or NRAS mutations) or metastatic PDAC harboring KRAS mutation based on an analytically validated assay performed on tumor tissue in a certified testing laboratory.
- Measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1.
- Adequate bone marrow and organ function.
- Have ECOG performance status of 0 or 1.
- Willing to comply with all protocol-required visits, assessments, and procedures.
- Able to swallow oral medication.
You may not qualify if:
- Prior therapy with a RAS, MEK, or ERK inhibitor. Depending on which treatment arm the patient is assigned, other therapies could also be prohibitive.
- Anti-cancer therapy ≤ 21 days or 4 half-lives prior to first dose of study drug, whichever is shorter.
- Palliative radiation ≤ 7 days prior to first dose of study drug.
- Symptomatic brain metastasis or leptomeningeal disease.
- Gastrointestinal conditions that may affect absorption of oral medications
- Active infection requiring systemic therapy, or a known history of HIV infection, hepatitis B virus, or hepatitis C virus.
- History of chronic inflammatory bowel disease or Crohn's disease requiring medical intervention (immunomodulatory or immunosuppressive medications or surgery) ≤ 12 months prior to first study drug dose.
- Active, clinically significant interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis.
- Impaired cardiovascular function or clinically significant cardiovascular disease.
- History of thromboembolic or cerebrovascular events ≤ 6 months prior to first dose.
- Major surgery within 28 days of enrollment, or anticipation of major surgery during study treatment.
- Known intolerance or contraindication to encorafenib, cetuximab, or palbociclib.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
- Any evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic disease or evidence of any other significant clinical disorder or laboratory finding that renders the patient inappropriate to participate in the study.
