Testing Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab in People With Advanced Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma

NCT03141684

Description:

This phase II trial studies how well atezolizumab works in treating patients with alveolar soft part sarcoma that has not been treated, has spread from where it started to other places in the body (advanced) and cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Atezolizumab works by unblocking the immune system, allowing the immune system cells to recognize and then attack tumor cells. Bevacizumab works by controlling the growth of new blood vessels. Giving atezolizumab and bevacizumab may shrink the cancer.

Atezolizumab works by unblocking the immune system, allowing the immune system cells to recognize and then attack tumor cells. Bevacizumab works by controlling the growth of new blood vessels.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

      I. Determine the objective response rate (ORR) using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid
      Tumors (RECIST) version (v) 1.1 of atezolizumab in patients with advanced alveolar soft part
      sarcoma (ASPS) in adult subjects >= 18 years and in pediatric/adolescent subjects >= 2 years.

      II. Determine the ORR using RECIST v 1.1 of atezolizumab and bevacizumab in subjects >= 18
      years old with advanced ASPS that has progressed on atezolizumab monotherapy.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. Determine duration of response (DOR) to atezolizumab monotherapy or atezolizumab plus
      bevacizumab using RECIST v 1.1 and/or change in clinical symptoms.

      II. Measure progression-free survival (PFS) time for patients receiving atezolizumab
      monotherapy or atezolizumab plus bevacizumab as determined by investigator using RECIST v
      1.1.

      III. Assess the number of activated CD8+ T cells infiltrating the tumor before and after
      treatment with atezolizumab monotherapy or atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, and correlate
      treatment-induced changes with clinical response.

      EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

      I. Compare RECIST v 1.1 vs immune RECIST (iRECIST) in patients with ASPS on atezolizumab and
      atezolizumab + bevacizumab.

      II. Assess the post-progression response rate among patients who progress while on treatment
      holiday and then resume treatment.

      III. Analyze the genomic and immune profiles of tumors expressing type 1 or type 2 ASPL-TFE3
      fusions and correlate findings with response to atezolizumab or atezolizumab in combination
      with bevacizumab.

      OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 arms.

      ARM I: Patients receive atezolizumab intravenously (IV) over 30-60 minutes on day 1. Cycles
      repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients
      in arm I who do achieve disease progression may cross-over to arm II.

      ARM II: Patients receive atezolizumab IV over 30-60 minutes and bevacizumab IV over 30-90
      minutes on day 1. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or
      unacceptable toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 27-30 days.

          -  Chronic daily treatment with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID),
             clopidogrel, dypiridamole, or aspirin therapy > 81 mg/day. Treatment with any such

Healthy Volunteers:No

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Objective response rate
Time Frame:Up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study treatment
Safety Issue:
Description:Will be evaluated using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. If at least 3 responses (at least 12.5%) are observed among the 24 evaluable patients, this regimen would be considered worthy of further testing in this disease.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Duration of response
Time Frame:Baseline until disease progression, death, loss to follow-up, initiation of another anti-cancer treatment, withdrawal of consent, or study, assessed up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study treatment
Safety Issue:
Description:Will be assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. Exploratory evaluations will be performed, with results reported with appropriate caveats about the exploratory nature of the analysis, and without formal adjustment for multiple comparisons.
Measure:Progression free survival
Time Frame:Baseline until disease progression, death, loss to follow-up, initiation of another anti-cancer treatment, withdrawal of consent, or study, assessed up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study treatment
Safety Issue:
Description:Will be evaluated using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1. Exploratory evaluations will be performed, with results reported with appropriate caveats about the exploratory nature of the analysis, and without formal adjustment for multiple comparisons.
Measure:Immune biomarkers in paired biopsies
Time Frame:Up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study treatment
Safety Issue:
Description:Response will be correlated with expression of potential immune biomarkers in paired biopsies. Exploratory evaluations will be performed, with results reported with appropriate caveats about the exploratory nature of the analysis, and without formal adjustment for multiple comparisons.
Measure:Immune-related response
Time Frame:Up to 4 weeks after the last dose of study treatment
Safety Issue:
Description:Will be evaluated by immune Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors. Response evaluated with immune Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 will be compared to immune Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors. Exploratory evaluations will be performed, with results reported with appropriate caveats about the exploratory nature of the analysis, and without formal adjustment for multiple comparisons.
