Treatment of Atezolizumab and Derazantinib in Patients With Advanced iCCA With FGFR2 Fusions/Rearrangements

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The study trial is a open-label, single-arm, multicenter phase II trial investigating the combined treatment of atezolizumab and derazantinib in patients with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma with FGFR2 fusions/rearrangements

Detailed Description
-----------------
The aim of this phase II study is to explore the safety and anti-tumor efficacy of the combination of atezolizumab and derazantinib in patients with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, with ORR as the primary endpoint. The primary endpoint is the Objective Response Rate (ORR [assessed every 8 weeks (±7 days)]): Objective response rate (ORR) according to investigator-based RECIST 1.1 assessment, defined as the proportion of allocated subjects with best response of complete or partial response within 9 months after the date of first administration of study treatment. The secondary endpoints are safety and efficacy and will be evaluated by Incidence, treatment relationship, seriousness, and severity of all AEs, SAEs, AESIs according to CTCAE V5.0 ORR@EOT: Objective response rate (ORR) according to investigator-based RECIST 1.1 assessment, defined as the proportion of allocated subjects with best response of complete or partial response within study treatment. • PFSR@6, 8 and 10 months: The proportion of patients known to be alive and without confirmed objective disease progression at 6, 8 and 10 months after first administration of study treatment, respectively. • PFS: Time from first administration of study treatment until the date of first objective disease progression or death. • OS: Time from first administration of study treatment until death of a patient due to any cause

Eligibility Criteria
-----------------
Inclusion Criteria: Patients must meet all of the following criteria to be eligible for the study: Fully informed written consent and locally required authorization (European Union [EU] Data Privacy Directive in the EU) obtained from the patient prior to performing any protocol-related procedures, including screening evaluations. Patients*, age ≥ 18 years at the time of signing the Informed Consent Form. Histologically documented diagnosis of non-resectable iCCA with positively confirmed FGFR2 fusion/rearrangement via NGS-Analysis. Note: Only CE-IVD marked NGS-tests are applicable which cover FGFR2 fusions and rearrangements. Performance status (PS) ≤ 2 (ECOG scale). At maximum one previous line of systemic anti-cancer therapy, (chemotherapy, hormonal, targeted therapy, experimental therapy) for which treatment was discontinued at least 4 weeks before the first dose of study treatment, or five half-lives of the respective anti-cancer therapy, whichever is the longer period. Note: For mABs in previous therapy the restriction to five half-lives does not apply. No prior treatment with any FGFR or immune checkpoint inhibitor (including but not limited to antiCTLA-4, antiPD-1, and antiPD-L1 therapeutic antibodies) apart from Durvalumab as PD-L1 inhibitor in first line therapy. Body weight > 30 kg AND BMI ≥ 15. At least one measurable site of disease as defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria. Adequate bone marrow and renal function including the following: Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL (previous transfusion permitted); Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.500 per µL (1.5×109/L); Platelet count ≥ 75,000 per µL (75 × 109/L); International normalized ratio (INR) between 0.8 × ULN to 1.0 × ULN OR ≤ 3 × ULN for subjects receving anticoagulant therapy Creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN OR CLCR ≥ 50 mL/min (as calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault formula); serum phosphate ≤ ULN; corrected serum calcium ≥ 1.75 mmol/L (≥ 7.0 mg/dL) AND ≤ 3.1 mmol/L (≤ 12.5 mg/dL); serum sodium ≥ LLN. Adequate hepatic function (with stenting for any obstruction, if required) including the following: o Total bilirubin ≤ 2 × ULN; AST or ALT ≤ 3 × ULN (or ≤ 5 × ULN for subjects with liver metastases); Prothrombin time ≥ 60%; Albumin ≥ 2.8 g/dL. For patients with active hepatitis B virus (HBV): HBV DNA ≤ 500 IU/mL obtained within 28 days prior to initiation of study treatment, AND Anti-HBV treatment (per local standard of care; e.g., entecavir) prior to study entry and willingness to continue treatment for the length of the study. For patients with active hepatitis C virus (HCV): Patients positive for hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody are eligible, also if polymerase chain reaction testing is positive for HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA). However, anti-viral therapy against HCV is only allowed prior to trial but not during the trial. Negative HIV test. Negative pregnancy test within 72 h prior to dosing. Females of childbearing potential must agree to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive methods that result in a failure rate of < 1% per year during the treatment period and for at least 5 months or for a period of at least 5 half-lives of the respective drug/IMP (whichever is longer) after the last study treatment. A woman is considered to be of childbearing potential if she is postmenarcheal, has not reached a postmenopausal state (has not had ≥ 12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause), and has not undergone surgical sterilization (removal of ovaries and/or uterus). Examples of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of < 1% per year include bilateral tubal ligation, male sterilization, hormonal implants, established, proper use of combined oral or injected hormonal contraceptives, and certain intrauterine devices. The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. With female partners of childbearing potential, men must remain abstinent or use a condom plus an additional contraceptive method that together result in a failure rate of 1% per year from screening to 5 months after the last dose of combination therapy or for a period of at least 5 half-lives of the respective drug/IMP after the last dose of combination therapy (whichever is longer). Men must refrain from donating sperm during this same period. Men with a pregnant partner must agree to remain abstinent or to use a condom for the duration of the pregnancy to avoid exposing the embryo. The patient is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study, including hospital visits for treatment and scheduled follow-up visits and examinations. Must have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks. *There are no data that indicate special gender distribution. Therefore, patients will be enrolled in the study gender-independently. Exclusion Criteria: Patients who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from study entry: Mixed cholangiocarcinoma and HCC. Concurrent enrolment in another clinical study, unless it is an observational (non-interventional) study or a study without a medical intervention (specifically the PLATON registry [ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04484636] is allowed). Note: After the Safety Follow-up (28 days post treatment discontinuation) participation in another clinical study is allowed. Major surgery (as defined by the Investigator) within 4 weeks prior to enrollment into the study; patients must have recovered from effects of any major surgery. Note: Local non-major surgery for palliative intent (e.g. surgery of isolated lesions, per-cutaneous biliary drainage or biliary stenting) is acceptable. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, interstitial lung disease, serious active, uncontrolled, gastrointestinal conditions associated with diarrhea, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirement, substantially increase risk of incurring AEs or compromise the ability of the patient to give written informed consent. History of another primary malignancy except for: Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no known active disease ≥ 3 years before the first dose of IMP and of low potential risk for recurrence; Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without evidence of disease; Adequately treated carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease.

Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the IMPs or any of the constituents of the product. Any co-existing medical condition that in the investigator's judgement will substantially increase the risk associated with the patient's participation in the study. Active or History of autoimmune disease including, but not limited to, myasthenia gravis, myositis, autoimmune hepatitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, Wegener's granulomatosis, Sjögren's syndrome, Guillain-Barré syndrome, multiple sclerosis, vasculitis, or glomerulonephritis. Note: History of autoimmune-related hypothyroidism on a stable dose of thyroid replacement hormone, or controlled Type 1 diabetes mellitus on a stable insulin regimen may be eligible based on consultation with the sponsor. Patients with eczema, psoriasis, lichen simplex chronicus, or vitiligo with dermatologic manifestations only (e.g., patients with psoriatic arthritis are excluded) are eligible for the study provided all following conditions are met: Rash must cover < 10% of body surface area; Disease is well controlled at baseline and requires only low- potency topical corticosteroids; No occurrence of acute exacerbations of the underlying condition requiring psoralen plus ultraviolet A radiation, methotrexate, retinoids, biologic agents, oral calcineurin inhibitors, or high potency or oral corticosteroids within the previous 12 months. 10.
