Oleclumab and Durvalumab for the Treatment of Recurrent, Refractory, or Metastatic Sarcoma

NCT04668300

Description:

This phase II trial investigates how well oleclumab and durvalumab work in treating patients with sarcoma that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory) or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as oleclumab and durvalumab, 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 estimate the tumor response (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST]) at
      4 months in patients with relapsed/refractory sarcoma. (Cohorts 1 and 2) II. To determine the
      event-free survival (EFS) rate at 4 months after initiation of the treatment in patients with
      relapsed/refractory osteosarcoma receiving novel immunotherapeutic agents. (Cohort 3)

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine the progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 12 weeks after initiation of the
      treatment in patients with relapsed/refractory sarcoma receiving novel immunotherapeutic
      agents.

      II. To estimate the tumor response (Immune-related Response Criteria [irRC] and RECIST) in
      patients with relapsed/refractory sarcoma.

      III. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of receiving novel immunotherapeutic agents in
      patients with relapsed/refractory sarcoma.

      IV. To estimate the median PFS and overall survival (OS) in patients with relapsed/refractory
      sarcoma receiving novel immunotherapeutic agents.

      EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine expression of biomarkers (including but not limited to CD73, PD-1 and PD-L1)
      in pre & post treatment (tx) samples.

      II. Quantification and characterization of the immune infiltrate (and other histologic and
      immunohistologic changes) from tissue samples prior to treatment initiation and post
      treatment (biopsy at week 6).

      III. Identification/quantification of immunologic changes (CD4+, CD8+, Teff, Treg cells and
      NK cells) in peripheral blood.

      IV. Determining an immunoscore based on baseline tumor sample (identification of molecular
      response/resistance patterns/future therapy options).

      OUTLINE:

      Patients receive oleclumab intravenously (IV) over 1 hour every 2 weeks for 5 doses, then
      every 4 weeks thereafter. Patients also receive durvalumab IV over 1 hour every 4 weeks.
      Cycle repeat 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 then every 3
      months for up to 5 years.

          -  Subjects must have at least 1 lesion that is measurable by RECIST

               -  A previously irradiated lesion can be considered a target lesion if the lesion is
                  well defined, measurable per RECIST, and has clearly progressed since radiation

               -  Subjects undergoing fresh tumor biopsies must have additional non-target lesions
                  that can be biopsied at acceptable risk as judged by the investigator or if no

             effective method of contraception (defined below) from the time of screening
             throughout the total duration of the drug treatment and the drug washout period (90
             days after the last dose of durvalumab monotherapy). Non-sterilized male partners of a
             female patient of childbearing potential must use male condom plus spermicide
             throughout this period. Cessation of birth control after this point should be
             discussed with a responsible physician. Periodic abstinence, the rhythm method, and
             the withdrawal method are not acceptable methods of birth control. Female patients
             should also refrain from breastfeeding throughout this period.

          -  Non-sterilized male patients who are not abstinent and intend to be sexually active
             with a female partner of childbearing potential must use a male condom plus spermicide
             from the time of screening throughout the total duration of the drug treatment and
             drug washout period (90 days after the last dose of durvalumab monotherapy). However,
             periodic abstinence, the rhythm method, and the withdrawal method are not acceptable
             methods of contraception. Male patients should refrain from sperm donation throughout
             this period

          -  Female partners (of childbearing potential) of male patients must also use a highly
             effective method of contraception throughout this period as defined below. Notes:
             Females of childbearing potential are defined as those who are not surgically sterile
             (i.e., bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or complete hysterectomy) or
             post-menopausal. Women will be considered post-menopausal if they have been
             amenorrheic for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. The following
             age-specific requirements apply:

               -  Women < 50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have
                  amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal
                  treatments and if they have luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone
                  levels in the post-menopausal range for the institution.

               -  Women >= 50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have
                  amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal
                  treatment, had radiation-induced menopause with last menses > 1 year ago, had
                  chemotherapy-induced menopause with last menses > 1 year ago.

        Highly effective methods of contraception, defined as one that results in a low failure
        rate (i.e., less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly are described
        below. Note that some contraception methods are not considered highly effective (e.g. male
        or female condom with or without spermicide; female cap, diaphragm, or sponge with or
        without spermicide; non-copper containing intrauterine device; progesterone-only oral
        hormonal contraceptive pills where inhibition of ovulation is not the primary mode of
        action [excluding Cerazette/desogestrel which is considered highly effective]; and
        triphasic combined oral contraceptive pills.
