Sym021 In Combination With Either Sym022 Or Sym023 Or Sym023 And Irinotecan In Patients With Advanced Biliary Tract Carcinomas

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the preliminary effectiveness of the 3 combinations (Sym021+Sym022 and Sym021+Sym023 and Sym023+Irinotecan) in Biliary Tract Cancer by assessing ORRs per Investigator assessment using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1. This study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability profile of the 3 combinations (Sym021+Sym022 and Sym021+Sym023 and Sym023+Irinotecan).

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or female patients, ≥ 18 years.
  • Patients with the ability to understand and give written informed consent for participation in this study including all evaluations and procedures as specified by this protocol.
  • Patients agreeing to mandatory tumor tissue biopsy at screening and at the end of Cycle 1, with optional tumor biopsy at the time of disease progression.
    • Note: For baseline tissue samples, a specimen obtained up to 6 weeks prior to initiation of treatment on C1D1 and with no additional anticancer treatment given since biopsy collection.
  • Patients with documented (histologically or cytologically proven) unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic malignancies:
    • Urothelial cancer (UC) including cancer of the renal pelvis, ureter, bladder, or urethra with urothelial (transitional cell) cancer as the predominant histology (> 50%);
      • Note: Locally advanced urothelial cancer will include T4b, any N; or any T, N 2-3.
    • Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) with radiographic evidence of extensive stage disease;
      • Note: Extensive stage disease is defined as Stage IV (any T, any N, and M 1a/b), or T3-4 due to multiple lung nodules that are too extensive or have a tumor/nodal volume that is too large to be encompassed in a tolerable radiation plan.
    • Endometrial cancer (EC) of any histological subtype;
    • Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA): unresectable or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the intra- and/or extra-hepatic bile ducts.
  • Patients with UC, SCLC, and EC must have received prior anti-PD-(L)1 therapy with a best response of complete response (CR)/partial response (PR) or durable stable disease (SD) (defined as ≥3 months duration of SD) (on PD-[L]1 maintenance therapy in SCLC patients). Patients may have received one or more prior lines of therapy prior to receiving PD-(L)1 therapy, but no additional anticancer treatment since progression on anti-PD-(L)1 therapy. CCA patients will be eligible without prior anti-PD-(L)1 therapy and with at least one prior line of standard of care systemic therapy.
    • Note 1: Patients may have received prior anti-PD-(L)1 as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy or other approved agents for their specific tumor type in a clinical study, patients may meet the criterion if the therapy received is already approved in at least one of the major regions of the world; i.e., US, EU, or Japan.
    • Note 2: If a patient has received additional anticancer treatment since progression on anti-PD-(L)1 therapy then the patient will be considered ineligible. CCA patients will be an exception to this criterion.
  • Patients with measurable disease according to RECIST v1.1.
  • Patients with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0 or 1, and anticipated life expectancy of ≥ 3 months).
  • Women of childbearing potential agreeing to use a highly effective method of contraception during the study beginning within 2 weeks prior to the first dose and continuing until 6 months after the last study drug dose.
  • Male patients agreeing to use an adequate method of contraception starting with the first dose of study drug through 6 months after the last dose of study drug and to refrain from sperm donation during this period.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Women who are pregnant or intending to become pregnant before, during, or within 6 months after the last study drug dose; women who are breastfeeding; women of childbearing potential not using and not willing to use a highly effective method of contraception.
  • Patients with central nervous system (CNS) malignancies; patients with known, untreated CNS or leptomeningeal metastases, or spinal cord compression, patients with any of the above not controlled by prior surgery or radiotherapy, or patients with symptoms suggesting CNS involvement for which treatment is required.
    • Note: Patients with treated CNS metastases will be eligible if they
      • had radiotherapy, surgery or stereotactic surgery for the brain or spinal metastases;
      • have no neurological symptoms (excluding Grade ≤ 2 neuropathy);
      • have stable brain or spinal disease on the Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan within 4 weeks before signing the ICF;
      • must not be undergoing acute corticosteroid therapy or steroid taper. Chronic steroid therapy is acceptable provided that the dose is stable for the last 14 days prior to screening (≤ 10 mg prednisone daily or equivalent).
  • Spinal bone metastases are allowed unless imminent fracture or cord compression is anticipated.
  • Patients with known or suspected CNS metastases will require a baseline imaging to establish stability of the known lesion, appearance of new brain lesion or progression of existing lesion. MRI imaging is preferred for assessment of CNS lesions.
  • Patients with significant cardiovascular disease, such as New York Heart Association (NYHA) cardiac disease, myocardial infarction within 3 months prior to enrollment, unstable arrhythmias, or unstable angina.
    • Note: Patients with known coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure not meeting the above criteria, or ventricular ejection fraction < 50% must be on a stable medical regimen that is optimized in the opinion of the treating physician, in consultation with a cardiologist if appropriate.
  • Patients with:
    • Active thrombosis, or a history of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, within 4 weeks prior to first study drug dose, unless adequately treated and considered by the Investigator to be stable;
    • Active uncontrolled bleeding or a known bleeding diathesis.
  • Patients with a significant pulmonary disease or condition, including:
    • History of interstitial lung disease, pulmonary fibrosis;
    • History of pulmonary inflammatory disease, interstitial or other pneumonitis*, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

* Patients with prior evidence of Grade 1 pneumonitis will be eligible provided they were asymptomatic when diagnosed and did not require treatment and provided pneumonitis has resolved prior to entry to this study.
