DRP-104 (Glutamine Antagonist) in Combination With Durvalumab in Patients With Advanced Stage Fibrolamellar Carcinoma (FLC)

Phase 1

Recruiting

• Conditions: Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma
• Interventions: Drug: Durvalumab; Drug: DRP-104

• Registration Number: NCT06027086
• Lead Sponsor: Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of subcutaneous DRP-104 in combination with intravenous Durvalumab is safe and yields a clinically compelling antitumor activity measured as based on objective response rate (ORR, assessed by RECIST 1.1). Secondary objectives include progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

• Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Exclusion Criteria

• Must have had chemotherapy or other systemic therapy or radiotherapy, as follows:

  • Patients who have had chemotherapy, biological cancer therapy, or radiation 21 days prior to the first dose of study drug.
  • Patients who have had surgery within 28 days of dosing of investigational agent, excluding minor procedures.
  • Patients who have received other approved or investigational agents or device within 21 days of the first dose of study drug.

• Patients who have not recovered from acute adverse events to grade ≤1 or baseline due to agents administered, with exception of grade 2 fatigue, rash, and endocrinopathy successfully managed hormone replacement therapy, or alopecia or stable neuropathy, unless approved by the investigational new drug (IND) Sponsor.

• Patients with corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation > 470 ms according to Fridericia formula.

• Patients receiving potent inducers of Cytochrome P450 3A (CYP 3A4/5) (including apalutamide, carbamazepine, enzalutamide, mitotane, phenytoin, rifampin and St. John's Wort) that cannot be discontinued at least 14 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1.

• Has a pulse oximetry of <92% on room air or is on supplemental home oxygen.

• Active or untreated brain metastases or leptomeningeal metastases.

• Uncontrolled intercurrent active medical and/or psychiatric illness/social psychosocial problems that that would limit compliance with study requirements.

Durvalumab and DRP-104	DRP-104	-

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of participants experiencing drug-related adverse events (AEs) requiring treatment discontinuation	4 years	When calculating the incidence of AEs, each AE (as defined by NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events \[CTCAE\] v5.0) will be counted only once for a given subject.
Objective response rate (ORR) using immune Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1)	4 years	ORR is defined as the percentage of patients achieving a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) to DRP-104 (glutamine antagonist) in combination with duvalumab, based on the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) at any time during the study. CR = disappearance of all target lesions, PR is =\>30percent decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, progressive disease (PD) is \>20percent increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, stable disease (SD) is \<30percent decrease or \<20percent increase in sum of diameters of target lesions.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Progression-free Survival (PFS)	4 years	PFS is defined as the number of months from the date of first treatment to disease progression (progressive disease \[PD\] or relapse from complete response \[CR\] as assessed using RECIST 1.1 criteria) or death due to any cause. Progression will be censored at the date of the last scan for subjects without documentation of disease progression at the time of analysis. Per RECIST 1.1 criteria, CR = disappearance of all target lesions, Partial Response (PR) is =\>30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, Progressive Disease (PD) is \>20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, Stable Disease (SD) is \<30% decrease or \<20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions. Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.
Overall survival (OS)	4 years	OS is defined as the number of months from the first dose of study treatment to death from any cause or end of follow-up. OS will be censored on the date the subject was last known to be alive for subjects without documentation of death at the time of analysis. Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.
