a phase i study of adagrasib and durvalumab for treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancers and gastro-intestinal cancers harboring kras g12c mutations

Conditions: Lung Cancer; Gastro-intestinal Cancer

Summary: to find a recommended dose of the combination of adagrasib and durvalumab that can be given to patients with cancers that have a kras g12c mutation.

primary objectives: • to determine the safety and tolerability, and to establish the recommended dose of the adagrasib and durvalumab combination in advanced nsclc or gi cancer patients. secondary objectives: * to determine the objective response rate of the adagrasib and durvalumab combination for frontline treatment of advanced nsclc harboring a kras g12c mutation. * to determine the objective response rate of the adagrasib and durvalumab combination for treatment of advanced crc that have progressed on prior therapy with kras g12c inhibitors. * to determine duration of response (dor) and progression-free survival (pfs) for the combination of the adagrasib and durvalumab in patients with advanced nsclc harboring a kras g12c mutation. * to determine dor and pfs for the combination of the adagrasib and durvalumab in patients with advanced crc that have progressed on prior therapy with kras g12c inhibitors. exploratory objectives: * to assess predictive biomarkers of response and resistance to the combination of adagrasib and durvalumab. * to assess mechanisms of tumor cell adaptation upon treatment with the combination of adagrasib and durvalumab. * to determine mechanisms of acquired resistance to the combination of adagrasib and durvalumab. * to assess the effect of the combination of adagrasib and durvalumab on the immune tumor microenvironment. * to generate cell lines and patient derived xenograft (pdx) models from tumor samples. * to assess the anti-tumor reactivity of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (til) from tumor biopsies.
