Clinical Trial Summary

This Phase Ib/IIa study has been designed according to a 3+3 dose escalation/dose expansion design. A dose expansion will be conducted at both the intermediate and high dose levels, if tolerated, with the purpose of generating additional and more robust safety and preliminary efficacy data. No control arm was included, as the target patient population of this study consists of patients in whom the overall survival is less than 6 months and treatment options are very limited and often poorly tolerated, making unlikely that the study results can be significantly biased.


Description:

In this study, the combination of the PGE2 inhibition (through the EP4 receptor antagonist CR6086) with the immune checkpoint blockade (through the anti-PD-1 AGEN2034) is being evaluated. CR6086 is a potent and selective, orally bioavailable, targeted immunomodulator small molecule acting as an EP4 receptor antagonist. AGEN2034 (balstilimab) is a novel, fully human monoclonal immunoglobulin G4 antibody, designed to block programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) from interacting with its ligands (PD-L) PD-L1 and PD-L2, currently being developed for the treatment of advanced malignancies. EP4 receptor antagonists turn the status of the tumor microenvironment into a favourable one, i.e. immune-responsive, representing thus a rational therapeutic approach in combination with ICIs in primarily refractory cancers.

Eligibility Inclusion Criteria: 1. Signed and dated informed consent obtained before undergoing any study-specific procedure 2. Male or female aged =18 years 3. Histologically confirmed diagnosis of adenocarcinoma originating from the colon or rectum, with known RAS and BRAF mutational status as assessed per standard practice 4. Stage IV (according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer definition) 5. Presence of measurable disease per RECIST v1.1 (based on imaging within 28 days from first study drug administration). Patients must have at least one "target lesion" to be used to assess response, as defined by RECIST v1.1 (Note: Subjects with lesions in a previously irradiated field as the sole site of measurable disease will be permitted to enroll provided the lesion(s) have demonstrated clear progression and can be measured accurately) 6. Disease progression after at least two standard treatment lines for mCRC, including fluoropyrimidines, oxaliplatin and irinotecan and, if RAS and BRAF wild-type, cetuximab or panitumumab, or, intolerance or refusal of chemotherapy regimens for mCRC.

Note: an adequate and sufficient sample is defined as formalin fixed paraffin embedded tumor tissue sample, preferably from the most recent biopsy of a tumor lesion, collected either at the time of or after the diagnosis of metastatic disease has been made AND from a site not previously irradiated. If no tumor tissue is available, a fresh tissue from needle or excisional biopsy or from resection is required 9. pMMR/MSS defined as CRC with all 4 MMR proteins intact AND with instability at =1/5 locus (or 30% of loci if larger panel of markers are assayed) 10.
