Summary

The colorectal expansion cohort enrolled 107 participants, including 53 assigned to zanzalintinib alone and 54 assigned to zanzalintinib plus atezolizumab. Eligibility required RAS wild-type disease and ECOG performance status 0–1. The subgroup without liver metastases contained 17 participants in each group. The company-reported overall-survival hazard ratio was 0.89 with a 95% confidence interval of 0.56–1.42; the corresponding subgroup interval was 0.27–2.04. These small cohorts and intervals crossing 1 limit conclusions about a survival difference. The comparison against zanzalintinib monotherapy does not establish comparative effectiveness against an approved later-line regimen.
