SIRT With Tremelimumab and Durvalumab for Resectable HCC

Recruiting now · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Resectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Hepatocellular Cancer

In brief

The goal of this research study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of tremelimumab and durvalumab with or without Selective Internal Yttrium-90 Radioembolization (SIRT) in participants with resectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who will undergo liver surgery. The names of the interventions involved in this study are: * Durvalumab (a type of immunotherapy) * Tremelimumab (a type of immunotherapy) * Selective Internal Yttrium-90 Radioembolization (SIRT) (a type of radiation microsphere bead)

Who can join

Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Histologically confirmed HCC (documentation of original biopsy for diagnosis is acceptable if tumor tissue is unavailable) or clinical diagnosis by American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) criteria in cirrhotic subjects (presence of arterial hypervascularity with venous washout). For subjects without cirrhosis, histological confirmation is mandatory.
• Participants must have resectable disease. Those patients must have preserved liver function (Child A) and with either AJCC stage IA, IB, II, and IIIA or BCLC stage 0 or stage A disease. The determination of resectability will ultimately lie in the clinical judgment of the treating investigator and surgical oncologist involved in the care of the patient.
• Participants must be treatment naïve for HCC.
• Age ≥18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of tremelimumab, durvalumab, and SIRT in participants <18 years of age, children are excluded from this study.
• Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 criteria.
• ECOG performance status ≤ 1 (see Appendix A).
• Body weight >30 kg.
• Participants must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below:
• Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL
• Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥ 1,000 /mcL
• Platelets ≥ 80,000 /mcL
• Total Bilirubin ≤ 2.0 mg/dL
• AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 × institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
• Measured Creatinine Clearance > 40 mL/min by 24-hour urine collection, or
• Calculated Creatinine Clearance (CL) > 40 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault Formula (Cockcroft Gault 1976):
• Males: Creatinine CL (mL/min) = (weight (kg) × (140 - Age)) / (72 × serum creatinine (mg/dL))
• Females: Creatinine CL (mL/min) = (weight (kg) × (140 - Age) / (72 × serum creatinine (mg/dL))) × 0.85
• Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP, refer to Section 5.4) must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of human chorionic gonadotropin [HCG]) obtained during the trial screening period.
• Men and WOCBP must agree to follow the protocol instructions for acceptable method(s) of contraception for the duration of trial treatment and for a total of 5 months post-treatment completion. Refer to Section 5.4.
• Participants with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen as assessed by the treating investigator are eligible for this trial.
• Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

You may not qualify if…

• Participants who have received any prior treatment for HCC.
• Patients who have had a major surgical procedure, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury with poorly healed wound within 6 weeks prior to first dose of study drug.
• History of allogenic organ transplantation.
• Participants who are receiving any other investigational agents.
• Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders (including inflammatory bowel disease [e.g., colitis or Crohn's disease], diverticulitis [with the exception of diverticulosis], systemic lupus erythematosus, Sarcoidosis syndrome, or Wegener syndrome [granulomatosis with polyangiitis, Graves' disease, rheumatoid arthritis, hypophysitis, uveitis, etc.]). The following are exceptions to this criterion:
• Patients with vitiligo or alopecia
• Patients with hypothyroidism (e.g., following Hashimoto syndrome) stable on hormone replacement
• Any chronic skin condition that does not require systemic therapy
• Patients with celiac disease controlled by diet alone
• Patients without active disease in the last 5 years may be included but only after consultation with the sponsor-investigator
• History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to durvalumab or tremelimumab.
• Uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including but not limited to, ongoing or active infection (including tuberculosis), uncontrolled hypertension (defined as blood pressure of > 140/90 mmHg during the screening period despite medical management), interstitial lung disease, serious chronic 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.
• Patients who have a primary brain tumor (excluding meningiomas and other benign lesions), any brain metastases, leptomeningeal disease, seizure disorders not controlled with standard medical therapy, or history of a stroke within the year prior to the first dose of study drug.
• History of active primary immunodeficiency.
• Known active infection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
• -Patients positive for HIV are allowed on study, but HIV-positive patients must have:
• A stable regimen of highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART)
• No requirement for concurrent antibiotics or antifungal agents for the prevention of opportunistic infections
• A CD4 count above 250 cells/mcL and an undetectable HIV viral load or standard PCR-based tests
• Known active hepatitis B infection (known positive HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) result). Patients with a past or resolved HBV infection (defined as the presence of hepatitis B core antibody [anti-HBc] and absence of HBsAg) are eligible.
• Known active hepatitis C infection. Participants positive for hepatitis C (HCV) antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for HCV RNA.
• Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days before the first dose of study agent. The following are exceptions to this criterion:
• Intranasal, inhaled, topical steroids, or local steroid injections (e.g., intra-articular injection)
• Systemic corticosteroids at physiologic doses that do not exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone or its equivalent
• Steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., CT scan premedication)
