NCT02735239

Brief Summary

This is an open-label, Phase 1/2 study to evaluate the safety of durvalumab (MEDI4736) in combination with oxaliplatin/capecitabine chemotherapy in metastatic/locally advanced oesophageal cancer (OC) and with neoadjuvant chemo(radio)therapy before surgery in operable OC. The immunotherapy will be given for a 4-week period before starting the standard chemo(radio)therapy, continuing durvalumab treatment once the chemotherapy starts. The study will include 2 phases, a safety run-in Phase 1 (Cohorts A1 and A2) and an expansion Phase 2 (Cohorts B, C, C-FLOT, D/D2).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Number of Subjects Reporting Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Toxicity was graded in accordance with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 4.03. Adverse events (AEs) were reported based on clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, physical examinations, and any other medically indicated assessments, including subject interviews, from the time informed consent is signed through 110 days after the last dose of study treatment. Treatment-emergent AEs were those that occurred or worsened after administration of the first dose of study treatment. In Cohorts A1, A2 and B, 12, 5 and 7 subjects, respectively, were monitored for dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) during the first 10 weeks of treatment (DLT evaluation period).

    up to 1 year

  • Number of Subjects With Best Overall Tumor Response by the Immune-related Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (irRECIST)

    Tumor responses were evaluated using appropriate imaging and categorized according to irRECIST at Screening (up to 28 days before the first dose of study treatment), and in Cycles 1, 3, 5 and 6 in Cohorts A1, A2 and B. In the other cohorts, tumor response was assessed at baseline, post-surgery and 14 days after the last dose. In Cohorts C-FLOT and D, an additional assessment was done prior to surgery and in Cohorts C and D, an additional assessment was done in Cycle 3. Per irRECIST, measurable lesions are categorized as follows: Immune-related Complete Response (irCR): Complete disappearance of all target lesions; Immune-related Partial Response (irPR): ≥ 30% decrease from baseline in the Total Measurable Tumor Burden (TMTB); Immune-related Progressive Disease (irPD): ≥ 20% increase from nadir in TMTB; Immune-related Stable Disease (irSD): not meeting above criteria; irNon-CR/Non-PD: irNon-CR/Non-PD is preferred over SD when no lesions can be measured.

    up to 1 year

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Number of Subjects With Metastatic/Locally Advanced Oesophageal Cancer (OC) Who Had a Response at Cycle 6 by the Immune-related Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (irRECIST)

    Up to 23 weeks

  • Median Progression-free Survival (PFS) by the Immune-related Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (irRECIST) as Estimated Using the Kaplan-Meier Method

    Up to 3 years

  • Median Overall Survival (OS) as Estimated Using the Kaplan-Meier Method

    Up to 3 years

  • One Year Survival Rate in Subjects With Operable OC

    up to 12 months

  • Overall Response Prior to Surgery in Operable OC (Cohorts C, C-FLOT and D/D2) Using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (PERCIST)

    Up to 7months

Two cycles of neoadjuvant oxaliplatin (130 mg/m\^2 IV)/capecitabine (1250 mg/m\^2/day given orally) chemotherapy were to be administered before surgery. Subjects were to undergo surgery 6 to 8 weeks after completing chemotherapy or according to institutional policies for surgery; and would be eligible to resume durvalumab dosing (to a maximum of 12 infusions) once recovered from surgery, provided that this was within 3 months of surgery.

Cohort C-FLOT: Operable OC, Durva + FLOT Chemotherapy

EXPERIMENTAL

Durvalumab (750 mg IV Q2W) was to be given for up to 6 doses. Two cycles of neoadjuvant 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) (2600 mg/m\^2 24-hr IV), leucovorin (200 mg/m\^2 IV), oxaliplatin (85 mg/m\^2 IV), and docetaxel (50 mg/m\^2 IV) chemotherapy (FLOT) were to be administered before surgery starting on the day of the third dose of durvalumab. Subjects were to undergo surgery 6 to 8 weeks after completing chemotherapy or according to institutional policies for surgery; and would be eligible to resume durvalumab dosing (to a maximum of 12 infusions), FLOT or durvalumab plus FLOT at the discretion of the Investigator once recovered from surgery, provided that this was within 3 months of surgery.

Cohort D/D2: Operable OC, Durva + Neoadjuvant Chemo(radio)therapy

EXPERIMENTAL

Durvalumab (750 mg IV Q2W) was to be given for 2 doses. This was followed by five weekly doses of neoadjuvant paclitaxel (50 mg/m\^2 IV) / carboplatin (AUC 2) IV chemotherapy + radiotherapy (41.4 Gy radiotherapy given over 23 fractions) before surgery. Subjects could receive an additional dose of durvalumab after completion of chemoradiation. In Cohort D2, subjects continued durvalumab for 3 additional doses while receiving chemoradiation. Subjects were to undergo surgery 6 to 8 weeks after completing chemo(radio)therapy or according to institutional policies for surgery; and would be eligible to resume durvalumab dosing (to a maximum of 12 infusions) once recovered from surgery, provided that this was within 3 months of surgery.
