Clinical Trial Summary

A multicenter Phase II, randomized, prospective, open-label Trial investigating the clinical impact on combining Specific Internal Radiotherapy (SIRT) with the PD1-L Inhibitor Durvalumab and the CTLA-4 Inhibitor Tremelimumab in patients with intrahepatic Biliary Tract Cancer


Description:

IMMUWHY Phase II Clinical Trial will test the Addition of the immunotherapeutic agents Durvalumab and Tremelimumab after an initial Standard of Care SIRT in patients suffering from non-resectable intrahepatic Biliary Tract Cancer. Patients will be randomized into two experimental arms, one receiving Durvalumab only, the other one receiving Durvalumab + Tremelimumab. Clinical Outcomes will be compared vs. historical datasets.

Any unresolved toxicity NCI CTCAE Grade = 2 from previous anticancer therapy with the exception of alopecia, vitiligo, and the laboratory values defined in the inclusion criteria 6. Any concurrent chemotherapy, investigational product (IP), biologic, or hormonal therapy for cancer treatment. Concurrent use of hormonal therapy for non-cancer related conditions (eg, hormone replacement therapy) is acceptable. 7. Prior radiotherapy treatment before the first dose of any study drug. 8. Major surgery (as defined by the Investigator) within 4 weeks prior to enrollment into the study; patients must have recovered from effects of any major surgery. Note: Local non-major surgery for palliative intent (e.g. surgery of isolated lesions, per-cutaneous biliary drainage or biliary stenting) is acceptable. 9.

Uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, , serious active, uncontrolled, gastrointestinal conditions associated with diarrhea, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirement, substantially increase risk of incurring AEs or compromise the ability of the patient to give written informed consent. 11. History of non-infectious pneumonitis requiring steroids, or patients with Grade = 2 pneumonitis. 12. History of another primary malignancy except for: - Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no known active disease = 5 years before the first dose of IP and of low potential risk for recurrence - Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without evidence of disease - Adequately treated carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease 13. History of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis 14. Brain metastases or spinal cord compression. Patients with suspected brain metastases at screening should have a CT/ MRI of the brain prior to study entry. 15. History of active primary immunodeficiency 16. History of allogenic organ transplantation. 17. Active infection including tuberculosis (clinical evaluation that includes clinical history, physical examination and radiographic findings, and TB testing in line with local practice), or human immunodeficiency virus (positive HIV 1/2 antibodies) or active hepatitis B/hepatitis C co-infection. 18. Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days before the first dose of durvalumab or tremelimumab. 19. Female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding or male or female patients of reproductive potential who are not willing to employ highly effective birth control from screening to 180 days after the last dose of durvalumab. 20. Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the IMPs or any of the constituents of the product. 21. Any co-existing medical condition that in the investigator's judgement will substantially increase the risk associated with the patient's participation in the study. 22. Patient who has been incarcerated or involuntarily institutionalized by court order or by the authorities § 40 Abs. 1 S. 3 Nr. 4 AMG. 23. Patients who are unable to consent because they do not understand the nature, significance and implications of the clinical trial and therefore cannot form a rational intention in the light of the facts [§ 40 Abs. 1 S. 3 Nr. 3a AMG]. 24. Receipt of live attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the first administration of any of the IMPs and without need to receive any live attenuated vaccines during study conduct and for up to 30 days after end of Durvalumab treatment or 90 days after end of Tremelimumab treatment respectively.

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Translational research Exploratory: Predictive biomarkers that with a potential effect on Objective Response Rate, Duration of Response, Progression Free Survival and Overall Survival via blood sample collection + genetic subset analysis. The following translational research is currently planned, but may be adapted taking into account new research data: Tumors will be tested for mRNA expression of PD-1, PD-L1 and PD-L2 expression, Immune cell infiltrates (IGHM, CD3, CD8, FOXP3, CD68, CD205), Chemokines (CXCL9. CXCL10, CXCL13) and invasion markers (MMP7, MMP9) 3 months
Primary Objective Response rate (ORR) according to RECIST 1.1 Proportion of allocated subjects with best response of complete or partial response 20 months
Secondary Safety (rate of adverse events) Type, incidence and severity of AEs and SAEs graded according to NCI CTCAE v5.0 From first patient included until study closure (approx. 43 months after First Patient Included)
