Study of Pembrolizumab in Metastatic Biliary Tract Cancer as Second-line Treatment After Failing to at Least One Cytotoxic Chemotherapy Regimen: Integration of Genomic Analysis to Identify Predictive Molecular Subtypes

Biliary Tract Cancer Clinical Trial

Official title: Phase II Study of Pembrolizumab in Metastatic Biliary Tract Cancer as Second-line Treatment After Failing to at Least One Cytotoxic Chemotherapy Regimen: Integration of Genomic Analysis to Identify Predictive Molecular Subtypes

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

eligible subjects will receive treatment beginning on Day 1 of each 3-week dosing cycle for pembrolizumab. Treatment with pembrolizumab will continue until documented disease progression, unacceptable adverse event(s),intercurrent illness that prevents further administration of treatment, Investigator's decision to withdraw the subject, subject withdraws consent, pregnancy of the subject, noncompliance with trial treatment or procedure requirements, subject receives 24 months of pembrolizumab, or administrative reasons requiring cessation of treatment.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a single-arm, single-center, open-label trial of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in subjects with metastatic biliary tract cancer as second-line treatment after failing to at least one cytotoxic chemotherapy regimen

Approximately 33 subjects will be enrollment to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab.

Enrollment will begin with all subjects without regard for PD-L1 expression status.

An evaluable specimen for PD-L1 status must be available and confirmed prior to enrollment.

All study subjects will be evaluated every 6 weeks (+/- 7 days) following the date of IP drug adminstration for the first six months and every 12 weeks (+/- 7 days) thereafter until progression of disease is documented with radiologic imaging (computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging).

The primary efficacy endpoint is ORR (objective response rate) per RECIST 1.1. If a subject has progression of disease by RECIST 1.1, it is recommended that the subject be discontinued from the study treatment unless, in the Investigator's opinion, the subject is deriving benefit from treatment.

Adverse events will be monitored throughout the trial and graded in severity according to the guidelines outlined in the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0.

Except as noted above, treatment with pembrolizumab will continue until documented disease progression, unacceptable adverse event(s), intercurrent illness that prevents further administration of treatment, Investigator's decision to withdraw the subject, subject withdraws consent, pregnancy of the subject, noncompliance with trial treatment or procedure requirements, completion of 24 months of pembrolizumab, or administrative reasons requiring the cessation of treatment.

After the end of treatment, each subject will be followed for 30 days for adverse event monitoring (serious adverse events and events of clinical interest will be collected for 90 days after the end of treatment or 30 days after the end of treatment if the subject initiates new anticancer therapy, whichever is earlier).Subjects who discontinue treatment for reasons other than disease progression will have post-treatment follow-up for disease status until disease progression, initiating a non-study cancer treatment, withdrawing consent, or becoming lost to follow-up. All subjects will be followed by telephone contact for overall survival until death, withdrawal of consent or the end of the study, whichever comes first. ;
