Clinical Trial Summary

Immunotherapy has improved clinical outcomes in metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC). Second-line treatment after progression to platinum-containing chemotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have antitumor activity in advanced / metastatic UC and provide favorable safety profiles when compared with chemotherapy The study aims to determine if Nivolumab plus Ipilimumab maintenance therapy is effective in delaying disease progression in patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer that did not progress during or following completion of first-line chemotherapy. Vexillum plans to recruit patients that achieve clinical benefit from first-line chemotherapy and may be candidates for maintenance immunotherapy to consolidate this benefit.


Description:

All enrolled patients should have received first-line chemotherapy and not progressed. After a treatment-free interval of 3-12 weeks from chemotherapy, patients will receive maintenance therapy with 4 cycles of Nivolumab 1 mg/kg + Ipilimumab 3 mg/kg every three weeks (Q3W)(induction phase) followed by Nivolumab 480 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W)(consolidation phase) until unacceptable toxicity, disease progression (PD), investigator ́s decision, patient's consent withdrawal or death by any cause, whichever occurs first. - Induction phase (Total of 4 cycles Q3W) - Nivolumab at 1 mg/kg by intravenous (IV) infusion on D1 of each cycle. - Ipilimumab at 3 mg/kg by intravenous (IV) infusion on D1 of each cycle. - Consolidation phase (Cycles Q4W) ○ Nivolumab at a fixed dose of 480 mg by intravenous (IV) infusion on D1 of each cycle. The maximum duration of treatment with nivolumab will be 2 years, and patients will discontinue treatment at any time in case of unacceptable toxicity, disease progression (PD), investigator ́s decision, patient's consent withdrawal or death by any cause, whichever occurs first.

Eligibility Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female subjects = 18 years old. 2- Written informed consent approved by the Independent Ethics Committee (IEC), prior to the performance of any trial activities. 3- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1. 4- Histologically confirmed, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelium. - Also termed urothelial cell carcinoma [UCC] of the urinary tract; including renal pelvis, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra). 5- Stage IV disease (T4b, N0, M0; any T, N1-N3, M0; any T, any N, M1) at the start of first line chemotherapy. 6- Prior first-line chemotherapy must have consisted of at least 4 cycles and no more than 6 cycles of gemcitabine plus cisplatin and/or gemcitabine plus carboplatin. 7- Patient inclusion within the trial must occur within 3-12 weeks after the last dose of chemotherapy (3-12 weeks treatment-free interval). 8- Only patients without progressive disease as per RECIST v1.1 guidelines after 4-6 cycles of chemotherapy will be allowed to be included. Baseline CT scan before inclusion should confirm that patients are on CR, PR or SD according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. 9- Tumor tissue (formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) archival or recent acquisition) must be available at baseline. Note: Fine Needle Aspiration [FNA] and bone metastases samples are not acceptable. If an insufficient amount of tumor tissue from an unresectable or metastatic site is available prior to the start of the screening phase, subjects must consent to allow the acquisition of additional tumor tissue. This may be discussed with the PI if a new biopsy is feasible. 10- Patients with adequate normal organ and marrow function as defined below: 1. Haemoglobin = 9.0 g/dL. 2. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1500 per mm3. 3. Platelet count = 100,000 per mm3. 4. Serum bilirubin = 1.5 X institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) unless liver metastases are present, in which case it must be = 2X ULN. This will not apply to patients with confirmed Gilbert's syndrome (persistent or recurrent hyperbilirubinemia that is predominantly unconjugated in the absence of haemolysis or hepatic pathology); however, they will be allowed only in consultation with their physician. 5. Serum transaminases (ALT, AST and GGT) = 2.5X institutional upper limit of normal unless liver metastases are present, in which case it must be = 3X ULN. 6. Measured creatinine clearance (CL) > 30 mL/min or Calculated creatinine CL > 40 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault formula (Cockcroft and Gault 1976) or by 24-hour urine collection for the determination of creatinine clearance. 11- Female subjects of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must provide a negative urine pregnancy test at screening, and must agree to use a medically accepted and highly effective birth control method (i.e. those with a failure rate less than 1%; refer to ANNEX III) for the duration of the study treatment and for 5 months after the last dose of study treatment. A woman is considered of childbearing potential ( i.e. fertile) following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently sterile.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary progression-free survival (PFS) PFS is defined as the time from the first dose of study treatment date until the first documentation disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. A subject who has not confirmed progression will be censored at the last known disease evaluation. Patients who have not progressed and start a new line of treatment will be censored at the date of the last adequate tumor assessment prior to starting the next line of therapy. Estimated by Kaplan Meier. Throughout the study period, approximately 12 months per patient from first study dose.
Primary progression-free survival (PFS) in PL-D1 positive patients subgroup analysis of PFS. Same definition of PFS as Outcome 1 applies. Throughout the study period, approximately 12 months per patient from first study dose.
Secondary Overall Survival (OS) Time from the first dose of study treatment date to the date of death and the proportion/percentage of patients alive at the end of follow-up. A subject who has not died will be censored at the last known date alive. Estimated by Kaplan Meier Throughout the study period, approximately 12 months per patient from first study dose.
