A Pilot Study of Targeting Driver Oncogenes With a Peptide Vaccine Plus Durvalumab and Tremelimumab for Patients With Biliary Tract Cancers
Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and the immune response of personalized mutant peptide vaccine with poly-ICLC adjuvant (mBTCvax) in combination with durvalumab and tremelimumab following front-line treatment in patients with advanced stage BTC.
Arms & interventions
- DrugmBTC vax [0.3 - 2.4 mg peptide + 0.5 mg Poly-ICLC (Hiltonol)]
Patients will receive treatment on Day 1, 8, 15 and 22 of cycle 1 and on day 1 of remaining cycles (C2-C4) in Prime Phase. In the Boost Phase - every 2 cycles (8 weeks) beginning from C6D1.
- DrugDurvalumab
Patients will receive treatment on Day 1 of each cycle. Durvalumab (1500 mg) will be administered IV every 4 weeks in both the Prime and Boost Phase.
- DrugTremelimumab
Patients will receive treatment on C1D1. Tremelimumab (300 mg) will be administered IV as a single dose on Day 1 of Cycle 1.
Outcome measures
Primary
Number of participants experiencing grade 3 or above drug-related toxicities
When calculating the incidence of Adverse Events (AE), each AE (as defined by NCI CTCAE v5.0) will be counted only once for a given subject.
Time frame: 20 Months
Maximum percentage change in interferon-producing mutant-specific cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8) and cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) T cells.
Evaluated by the maximal percent change in interferon-producing mutant-specific CD8 and CD4 T cells within 20 weeks post-vaccination compared to pre-vaccination baseline.
Time frame: Baseline to 20 weeks post vaccination (baseline, 20 weeks)
Secondary
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Time frame: 4 years
Overall Survival (OS)
Time frame: 4 years
