Durvalumab and Tremelimumab in Treating Participants With Recurrent or Refractory Ovarian, Primary Peritoneal, or Fallopian Tube Cancer

NCT03026062

Description:

This phase II trial studies how well durvalumab and tremelimumab work in treating participants with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab and tremelimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether give durvalumab and tremelimumab in combination or sequential administration works better in treating participants with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.

Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab and tremelimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine the median immune-related progression-free survival (irPFS) in the
      experimental arms.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine the rate of grade III or higher treatment related toxicity in each
      experimental arm.

      II. To describe the immunological and gene expression changes induced by tremelimumab and the
      combination of tremelimumab and durvalumab in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) tumor tissues
      and blood.

      III. To determine the overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR) IV. To determine
      the proportion of patients that discontinue treatment due to side effects.

      EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine second progression-free survival (PFS) (PFS2) following initial progression
      in each arm.

      II. To determine the response rate to durvalumab (MEDI4736) following treatment with
      tremelimumab (in the sequential arm).

      III. To evaluate the patient reported symptom burden in each experimental arm. To better
      assess the relationship between somatic tumor mutations in the PPP2R1A gene and response and
      survival following combination therapy with tremelimumab and durvalumab in two molecularly
      defined expansion cohorts: (a) subjects with ovarian clear cell carcinoma and (b) subjects
      with uterine serous carcinoma. (This objective will represent an expansion cohort in Arm 2
      and will be independent of enrollment to the main study)

      OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

      ARM I (SEQUENTIAL): Patients receive tremelimumab intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes on day
      1. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or
      unacceptable toxicity. Upon progression, patients then receive durvalumab IV over 60 minutes
      on day 1. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 9 cycles in the absence of disease
      progression or unacceptable toxicity. This arm is closed to enrollment.

      ARM II (COMBINATION): Patients receive tremelimumab IV and durvalumab IV over 60 minutes (for
      each drug) on day 1. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for 4 cycles in the absence of disease
      progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive durvalumab IV over 60 minutes on
      day 1. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 9 cycles in the absence of disease
      progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and then every 2
      months thereafter

          5. Subjects must either be of non-reproductive potential (i.e., post-menopausal by
             history: >/= 60 years old and no menses for >/= 1 year without an alternative medical
