Official Title

A Pilot Study of Combined Immune Checkpoint Inhibition in Combination With Ablative Therapies in Subjects With Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) or Biliary Tract Carcinomas (BTC)

Brief Summary

      BACKGROUND:

        -  Various tumor ablative procedures and techniques have been shown to result in
           immunogenic cell death and induction of a peripheral immune response. The term ablative
           therapies applies to trans-arterial catheter chemoembolization (TACE), radiofrequency
           ablation (RFA) and cryoablation (CA).

        -  The underlying hypothesis of this study is that the effect of immune checkpoint
           inhibition can be enhanced by TACE, CA and RFA in patients with advanced hepatocellular
           carcinoma (HCC) and biliary tract carcinomas (BTC). We have already demonstrated proof
           of principle as well as safety and feasibility of this approach with anti-cytotoxic
           T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) therapy.

        -  Based on the concept of programmed death-ligand 1 (PDL1)-mediated adaptive resistance
           and the emerging role of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1) therapy in HCC, we would
           like to evaluate the combination of tremelimumab and durvalumab (with ablative
           therapies) in HCC and BTC.

      Objectives:

      - To preliminarily evaluate the 6-month progression free survival (PFS) of combining
      tremelimumab and durvalumab in patients with advanced HCC (either alone or with cryoablation,
      TACE or RFA) and in patients with advanced biliary tract carcinoma (BTC) (either alone or
      with cryoablation or RFA).

      ELIGIBILITY:

        -  Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of HCC or biliary tract carcinoma OR
           histopathological confirmation of carcinoma in the setting of clinical and radiological
           characteristics which, together with the pathology, are highly suggestive of a diagnosis
           of HCC (or biliary tract carcinoma).

        -  Childs-Pugh A/B7 cirrhosis only is allowed. If patient does not have cirrhosis, this
           limitation does not apply.

        -  Patients must have disease that is not amenable to potentially curative resection,
           radiofrequency ablation, or liver transplantation.

      DESIGN:

      We will evaluate the combination of tremelimumab and durvalumab (with ablative therapies) in
      cohorts A (HCC; N=40) and B (BTC; N=30). The first N=10 patients in both cohorts will receive
      tremelimumab and durvalumab only (i.e. No interventional radiologic procedures).

        -  A: Advanced HCC, BCLC# Stage B/C

             -  N= 1st 10 pts: No ablative procedure Cryoablation/RFA/TACE##

             -  Tremelimumab 75mg flat dose every (q)28 days for 4 doses; Durvalumab 1500mg flat
                dose q28 days until end of study (EOS)###

             -  40 total: 10 trem+ dur alone; 10 trem+ dur + TACE; 10 trem + dur + RFA; 10 trem +
                dur + cryo

        -  B: Intra/extra-hepatic cholangiocarcinoma

             -  N= 1st 10 patients (pts): No ablative procedure; RFA/ cryoablation

             -  Tremelimumab 75mg flat dose q28 days for 4 doses; Durvalumab 1500mg flat dose q28
                days until EOS###

             -  30 total: 10 trem+ dur alone; 10 trem + dur + RFA; 10 trem

                  -  BCLC = Barcelona clinic liver cancer staging system

                       -  For BCLC stage B patients TACE may be repeated as per standard of care

                            -  EOS = End of study treatment or meeting any of the off-treatment or
                               off study criteria.

             starting durvalumab or tremelimumab treatment.

         11. Has a known history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). HIV-positive patients
             receiving anti-retroviral therapy are excluded from this study due to the possibility
             of pharmacokinetic interactions between antiretroviral medications and tremelimumab.
             HIV positive patients not receiving antiretroviral therapy are excluded due to the
             possibility that tremelimumab may worsen their condition and the likelihood that the
             underlying condition may obscure the attribution of adverse events.

         12. History of hypersensitivity reaction to human or mouse antibody products.

         13. Pregnancy and breast feeding are exclusion factors. The effects of tremelimumab on the
             developing human fetus are unknown. Enrolled patients must agree to use adequate
             contraception prior to study entry, the duration of study participation and 6 months
             after the end of the treatment. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is
