A Study to Evaluate Immunotherapy Combinations in Participants With Gastrointestinal Malignancies

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Colorectal Cancer
GastroEsophageal Cancer
Interventions
Drug: mFOLFOX
Registration Number
NCT03720678
Lead Sponsor
Arcus Biosciences, Inc.
Brief Summary

This is a Phase 1/1b, open-label, dose-escalation, and dose-expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), and clinical activity of etrumadenant (AB928) in combination with mFOLFOX in participants with advanced metastatic gastroesophageal Cancer (GEC) or colorectal cancer (CRC).

Detailed Description

In the dose escalation phase, escalating doses of etrumadenant in combination with mFOLFOX at standard doses will be assessed in participants with advanced metastatic GEC or CRC. Eligible participants will receive oral administration of etrumadenant as well as IV infusion of mFOLFOX. The recommended dose for expansion (RDE) of etrumadenant will be determined upon completion of the dose-escalation phase.

In the dose expansion phase, etrumadenant at the RDE in combination with mFOLFOX at standard doses may be assessed in participants with advanced metastatic GEC or CRC.

Overall duration of treatment will depend on how well the treatment is tolerated. Treatment may continue until unacceptable toxicity or progressive disease or other reasons specified in the protocol.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Male or female participants ≥ 18 years

  • Histologically confirmed gastroesophageal cancer or colorectal cancer that is metastatic, advanced or recurrent with progression

  • Participants for whom mFOLFOX is considered appropriate therapy

  • Must have at least 1 measurable lesion per RECIST v1.1.

  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 or 1.

  • Must have received standard of care, including potentially curative available therapies or interventions.

  • Confirm that an archival tissue sample is available and ≤ 24 months old; if not, a new biopsy of a tumor lesion must be obtained.

  • Adequate organ and marrow function

  • Previously treated central nervous system metastases, meeting the following criteria:

    • No evidence of progression by magnetic resonance imaging for at least 4 weeks prior to first dose.
    • Neurologic symptoms returned to baseline.
    • No immunosuppressive doses of systemic corticosteroids for at least 2 weeks before investigational product administration.
    • No carcinomatous meningitis.
Exclusion Criteria
  • Use of any live vaccines against infectious diseases (eg, influenza, varicella) within 4 weeks (28 days) of initiation of investigational product.

  • Underlying medical conditions that, in the Investigator's or Sponsor's opinion, will make the administration of investigational product hazardous (eg interstitial lung disease, active infections requiring antibiotics, recent hospitalization with unresolved symptoms) or obscure the interpretation of toxicity determination or AEs, or concurrent medical condition requiring the use of immunosuppressive medications or immunosuppressive doses of systemic or absorbable topical corticosteroids.

  • Has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial.

  • Is pregnant or breastfeeding or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the study, starting with the pre-screening or screening visit through 30 days after the last dose of etrumadenant in combination with mFOLFOX.

  • Any active autoimmune disease or a documented history of autoimmune disease or syndrome that required systemic treatment in past 2 years (ie, with use of disease-modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs), except for vitiligo or resolved childhood asthma/atopy.

    • Replacement therapy (eg, thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) is not considered a form of systemic treatment.
    • Participants with asthma who require intermittent use of bronchodilators, inhaled corticosteroids, or local corticosteroid injections will not be excluded from this study. Participants on chronic systemic corticosteroids will be excluded from the study.
  • Prior malignancy active within the previous 2 years except for locally curable cancers that have been apparently cured, such as basal or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix, breast, or prostate.

  • Prior chemotherapy, targeted small-molecule therapy, or radiation therapy within 4 weeks prior to Day 1 or has not recovered (ie, ≥ Grade 1 or baseline) from AEs due to a previously administered agent, except ≤ Grade 2 alopecia or ≤ Grade 2 neuropathy and other AEs ≤ Grade 2 considered not clinically significant by the Medical Monitor and Investigator.

  • Use of other investigational drugs (drugs not marketed for any indication) within 28 days of investigational product administration.

Dose EscalationetrumadenantDose escalation is a 3+3 design, including a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) evaluation period. The RDE of etrumadenant will be determined in this part with escalating doses of etrumadenant in combination with the standard mFOLFOX chemotherapy regimen in participants with gastroesophageal or colorectal cancer.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs)From first dose date to 90 days after the last dose (Approximately 1 year)
Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) during dose escalation phaseFrom first dose date to 28 days after the first dose
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Plasma concentration of etrumadenantRecorded at baseline (prior to first dose), during the first 4 cycles of treatment (2 months), at end of treatment and 30 days post end of treatment (i.e. in total approximately 3 months)
Immunomodulatory activity in subsets for AB928 in combination with mFOLFOXCycle 1 Day 1 through Cycle 4 Day 1 (2 months), at end of treatment and 30 days after end of treatment (in total approximately 3 months). Each Cycle is 14 days.

Immunomodulatory activity will be assessed by aggregating data from biomarkers collected from peripheral blood samples

Percentage of participants with Objective Response as determined by Investigator according to RECIST v1.1From study enrolment until participation discontinuation, first occurrence of progressive disease, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first (approximately 3-5 years)

Receptor Occupancy in peripheral bloodCycle 1 Day 1 through Cycle 4 Day 1 (2 months), at end of treatment and 30 days after end of treatment (in total approximately 3 months). Each Cycle is 14 days.
Percentage of participants with Disease Control (complete response, partial response, or stable disease) for > 6 months as determined by RECIST v1.1From study enrolment until disease progression or loss of clinical benefit (up to approximately 3-5 years)
Duration of Response as determined by the Investigator according to RECIST v1.1From the date of first occurrence of a documented objective response to first documentation of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 3-5 years)
Progression Free Survival (PFS) as determined by the Investigator according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1From start of treatment up to first occurrence of progressive disease or death from any cause, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 3-5 years)
