Clinical Trial Summary

This phase I trial studies how well CBM588 works when given together with nivolumab and ipilimumab in treating patients with kidney cancer that is stage IV or has spread to other places in the body (advanced). CBM588 is a probiotic that may help to increase the effect of immunotherapy. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving CBM588, nivolumab, and ipilimumab may work better in treating patients with kidney cancer.


Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the effect of clostridium butyricum CBM 588 probiotic strain (CBM588) (in combination with nivolumab/ipilimumab) on the gut microbiome in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the effect of CBM588 on the clinical efficacy of the nivolumab/ipilimumab combination. II. To assess the effect of CBM588 on systemic immunomodulation of the nivolumab/ipilimumab combination in patients with mRCC. III. To assess the effect of CBM588 on toxicities such as diarrhea and nausea using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v) 5 criteria with the nivolumab/ipilimumab combination in patients with mRCC. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM I: Patients receive nivolumab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes and ipilimumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning in cycle 5, patients receive nivolumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ARM II: Patients receive clostridium butyricum CBM 588 probiotic strain orally (PO) twice daily (BID), nivolumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1, and ipilimumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning in cycle 5, treatment with clostridium butyricum CBM 588 probiotic strain and nivolumab repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and periodically thereafter.

Patients with treated brain metastases must be stable for 4 weeks after completion of treatment and have documented stability on pre-study imaging. Patients must have no clinical symptoms from brain metastases and have no requirement for systemic corticosteroids amounting to > 10 mg/day of prednisone or its equivalent for at least 2 weeks prior to first dose of study drug.

Subjects with vitiligo or type I diabetes mellitus or residual hypothyroidism due to autoimmune thyroiditis only requiring hormone replacement are permitted to enroll - Active interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis or history of ILD/pneumonitis requiring treatment with systemic steroids - Baseline pulse oximetry less than 92% "on room air" - Current use, or intent to use, probiotics, yogurt or bacterial fortified foods during the period of treatment - Any condition requiring systemic treatment with corticosteroids (> 10 mg daily prednisone equivalents) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days prior to first dose of study drug. Inhaled steroids and adrenal replacement steroid doses > 10 mg daily prednisone equivalents are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease - Uncontrolled adrenal insufficiency - Known medical condition (e.g., a condition associated with diarrhea or acute diverticulitis) that, in the investigator's opinion, would increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug administration or interfere with the interpretation of safety results - Not recovered to =< grade 1 toxicities related to any prior therapy before administration of study drug - Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding - History of myocarditis or congestive heart failure (as defined by New York Heart Association functional classification III or IV), as well as unstable angina, serious uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, uncontrolled infection, or myocardial infarction 6 months prior to study entry - White blood cells (WBC) < 2,000/mm^3 - Neutrophils < 1,500/mm^3 - Platelets < 100,000/mm^3 - Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (> 5 x ULN if liver metastases are present) - Total bilirubin > 1.5 x ULN (except subjects with Gilbert syndrome, who can have total bilirubin 3.0 mg/dL) - Calculated creatinine clearance < 30 millimeters per minute (mL/min) per the Cockcroft and Gault formula or serum creatinine > 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Change in proportion of circulating regulatory T-cells (Tregs) Using translational methods will estimate the proportion of Tregs in the blood. This will be assessed graphically across serial timepoints of blood collection to ascertain any trends. Will compare the proportion of circulating Tregs with nivolumab/ipilimumab alone versus nivolumab/ipilimumab with clostridium butyricum CBM 588 probiotic strain (CBM588). Baseline up to 2 years
Other Change in proportion of circulating myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) Using translational methods will estimate the proportion of MDSCs in the blood. This will be assessed graphically across serial timepoints of blood collection to ascertain any trends. Will compare the proportion of circulating MDSCs with nivolumab/ipilimumab alone versus nivolumab/ipilimumab with CBM588. Baseline up to 2 years
Other Change in IL-6, IL-8, and other cytokines/chemokines levels Using translational methods will estimate the proportion of serum cytokines in the blood. This will be assessed graphically across serial timepoints of blood collection to ascertain any trends. Will compare the IL-6, IL-8, and other cytokines/chemokines with nivolumab/ipilimumab alone versus nivolumab/ipilimumab with CBM588. Baseline up to 2 years
Other Change in toxicities Will compare toxicities, such as diarrhea and nausea, using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5 with nivolumab/ipilimumab alone versus nivolumab/ipilimumab with CBM588. Baseline up to 2 years
Primary Change in Bifidobacterium composition of stool Will be assessed for patients on both arms. Baseline up to week 12
Secondary Change in Shannon index Using translational methods, will compute the Shannon index at baseline for a comparison of microbial diversity. Baseline up to week 12
Secondary Best overall response Will be evaluated in this study using the new international criteria proposed by the revised Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). The association between treatment arm and overall response as per RECIST criteria (response observed versus [vs] not observed) will be examined using Fisher's exact test. Up to 2 years
Secondary Progression-free survival (PFS) The difference in progression free survival across the two groups will be explored graphically using Kaplan-Meier survival plots. Median PFS time for each of the two arms will be reported and Cox proportional hazards model will be used to estimate the hazard ratio and its confidence interval. From enrollment to progression, assessed up to 2 years
