What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
In the present TACTIC clinical trial, the investigators propose to determine the clinical interest and immunological efficacy of a treatment combining MP0317 the FAP (Fibroblast Activation Protein)-dependent CD40 agonist, with anti-PD-L1(Programmed Death-Ligand 1) therapy (durvalumab) and gemcitabine-cisplatin-based chemotherapy in unresectable cholangiocarcinoma.
The main objective is to assess the 12-month progression free survival (PFS) rate in the experimental arm. The trial proposed is a non-comparative proof of concept randomized two-stage phase II. The control arm will serve to verify the good calibration of the null hypothesis made in the experimental arm and to provide "true" controls for translational investigations. A semi-continuous monitoring of toxicity is planned in the experimental arm during the first stage of the study to warrant the tolerability of the experimental tr

📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Signed and dated informed consent
2. Histologically confirmed biliary tract carcinoma: intra/extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (note that gallbladder carcinoma are not eligible)
3. Locally advanced unresectable or metastatic
4. Patient who had not previously received systemic anti-cancer treatment (adjuvant treatment with Capecitabine is allowed if the end of the chemotherapy was at least 6 months ago)
5. Age ≥ 18 years
6. Measurable disease defined according to RECIST v1.1 (Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumours) guidelines Note: Previously irradiated lesions can be considered as measurable disease only if disease progression has been unequivocally documented at that site since radiation.
7. Patients who have received previous chemoembolization, radioembolization and/or radiotherapy should have recovered from any treatment related toxicity, to a level of ≤ grade 1 according to National Cancer Institute \[NCI\] common terminology criteria for adverse events, version 5 (CTCAE v5); with the exception of Grade 2 alopecia
8. Performance status ECOG-PS \< 2 (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group)
9. Females must be using highly effective contraceptive measures, and have a negative pregnancy test prior to the start of dosing if of childbearing potential, and during treatment and at least 7 months after the end of the treatment with cisplatin, 6 months after the end of the treatment with gemcitabine, 3 months after the end of the treatment with durvalumab, or must have evidence of non-childbearing potential by fulfilling one of the following criteria at screening:
1. Post-menopausal is defined as aged more than 50 years and amenorrhoeic for at least 12 months following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments.
2. Women under the age of 50 years would be considered postmenopausal if they have been amenorrhoeic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments and with luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone levels in the post-menopausal range for the institution.
3. Women with documentation of irreversible surgical sterilisation by hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral salpingectomy but not tubal ligation.
4. Male patients with a female partner of childbearing potential should be willing to use barrier contraception during the study and at least: 4 months after the end of the treatment with cisplatin and 3 months after the end of the treatment with gemcitabine. Patients should refrain from donating sperm from the start of dosing until 4 months after discontinuing study treatment.
10. Documented virology status of hepatitis, as confirmed by screening HBV and HCV tests:
1. For patients with active HBV: HBV DNA \<500 IU/ml (International unit)during screening, initiation of anti-HBV treatment at least 14 days prior to randomization and willingness to continue anti-HBV treatment during the study (per local standard of care; e.g., entecavir)
2. Patients with HCV, either with resolved infection (as evidenced by detectable antibody) or chronic infection (as evidence by detectable HCV RNA), are eligible
11. Patient affiliated to or beneficiary of French social security system
12. Ability to comply with the study protocol, in the Investigator's judgment.
Exclusion Criteria:
For patients whose tumors present a genetic alteration of IDH1, FGFR2 or BRAF as well as an amplification of HER2, the investigators of the TACTIC study recommend, if possible, the orientation for preferential inclusion in the SAFIR ABC10 study".
1. Patients previously exposed to anti-tumor immunotherapy such as anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-CTLA4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4) agent or any immune therapy
2. Diagnosis of additional malignancy within 3 years prior to the inclusion with the exception of curatively treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin and/or curatively resected in situ cervical or breast cancer
3. Patient with any medical or psychiatric condition or disease, which would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study
4. Current participation in a study of an investigational agent or in the period of exclusion
5. Patient under guardianship, curatorship or under the protection of justice
6. Other liver malignancy: hepatocellular carcinoma and hepato-cholangiocarcinoma
7. Uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, ascites or symptomatic fistula
8. Uncontrolled tumor-related pain: exposing patients to risk of exposure to corticoids or iterative hospitalizations. Symptomatic lesions amenable to palliative radiotherapy should be treated prior to inclusion. Patients should be recovered from the effects of radiation. There is no required minimum recovery period
9. Known active central nervous system metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis.
10. History of angiocholitis, liver abscess, or acute pancreatitis within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment
