Brief Summary

The TOPAZ-1 study compared the advantages and disadvantages of immune checkpoint inhibitor anti-PD-L1 antibody combined with Gem/Cis chemotherapy (Gemcitabine and Cisplatin) and Gem/Cis chemotherapy alone in first-line treatment of advanced biliary tract tumors (BTC, which including gallbladder cancer). It was observed that chemotherapy combined with PD-L1 antibody improved progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). As a standard first-line chemotherapy regimen for BTC too, Gemox chemotherapy (gemcitabine and cisplatin) has a median OS of 9.5 months, and non-inferior survival time to Gem/Cis chemotherapy. In addition, Gemox chemotherapy has been widely used in clinical practice because it reduces the requirement on patients' renal function and has good tolerance. Envafolimab is a novel fusion of humanized mono-domain PD-L1 antibody and human IgG Fc fragment, which has shown good efficacy and safety in a variety of solid tumors. It is safe and convenient to administer by subcutaneous injection. However, there is currently no clinical data on Envafolimab combined with GEMOX chemotherapy in patients with advanced gallbladder cancer (GBC). The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate its efficacy and related safety in patients with GBC. Eligible participants will receive Envafolimab (up to 12 months) plus gemcitabine and cisplatin (up to 6-8 cycles) until progression of radiological disease, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal from the study, whichever comes first.The primary endpoint was the 6-month PFS rate.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• 6-month progression-free survival rate (PFS)

  Defined as the rate of patients had no disease progression or death (whichever occurred first) from the start of treatment to 6 months after treatment.

  6 months

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Progression free survival (PFS)

  Up to two years

• Overall survival (OS)

  Up to two years

• Disease control rate (DCR) per RECIST 1.1

  Once every 3 weeks (±7 days) from the first day of Envafolimab treatment for a maximum of 2 years until confirmed objective disease progression, death, and study termination.

• Objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST 1.1

  Once every 3 weeks (±7 days) from the first day of Envafolimab treatment for a maximum of 2 years until confirmed objective disease progression, death, and study termination.

Other Outcomes (3)

• Tumor markers

  Once every 9 weeks (±7 days) from the first day of Envafolimab treatment for a maximum of 2 years until confirmed objective disease progression, death, and study termination.

• Lymphocyte count

  Once every 9 weeks (±7 days) from the first day of Envafolimab treatment for a maximum of 2 years until confirmed objective disease progression, death, and study termination.

• Adverse events

  Envafolimab treatment is performed once per cycle (±7 days), and the last one is completed within 30 days (±3 days) after ending treatment or before starting a new anti-tumor therapy.

Study Arms (1)

Envafolimab+Gemox

EXPERIMENTAL

Drug: Envafolimab+Gemox

Interventions

Envafolimab+Gemox DRUG

All of drugs were used for 6-8 cycles at the combined treatment stage, then Envafolimab and Gemcitabine continued at maintenance treatment stage until disease progression as defined by RECIST1.1, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal from the study or death, or no more than 1 years. Combined treatment stage: Envafolimab(150mg, iH, Q1W, Day1)+Gemcitabine(1000mg/m2, iv, Q3W, Day1 and Day8)+Cisplatin(1000mg/m2, iv, Q3W, Day1 and Day8); Caintenance treatment stage: Envafolimab(400mg, iH, Day1, Q3W)+Gemcitabine(1000mg/m2, po, Day1-14, Q3W).
