Study Arms (2)
Cohort A: soft-tissue sarcomas
EXPERIMENTALSoft-tissue sarcomas
Cohort B: Solid tumors
EXPERIMENTALSolid tumors \[non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) or MMS colorectal cancer (MSS-CCR) or biliary tract cancer (BTC)\]
Interventions
A treatment cycle consists of 3 weeks. Both treatments will be administered on Day 1 of each cycle.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis:
- For cohort A: soft-tissue sarcoma. As recommended by the French NCI, diagnosis must be reviewed or confirmed by the RRePS Network (Réseau de référence en pathologie des sarcomes et des viscères) as recommended by the French NCI (Institut National du Cancer, Inca).
- For cohort B: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) or MMS colorectal cancer (MSS-CCR) or biliary tract cancer (BTC)
- Age ≥ 18 years,
- Advanced/unresectable and/or metastatic disease,
- Mature TLS positive status
- TP53-wild type status known (by molecular biology)
- Cohort B: are eligible the following populations
- NSCLC known PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) \< 50% AND naïve from treatment with ICI (immune checkpoint inhibitors)
- NSCLC exposed to anti-PD1 or PD-L1 based therapy with clinical benefit (clinical benefit is defined as objective response or stable disease for at least 4 months)
- TNBC exposed to anti-PD1 or PD-L1 based therapy with clinical benefit (clinical benefit is defined as objective response or stable disease for at least 4 months)
- MSS-CCR naïve from treatment with ICI
- Biliary tract cancer exposed to anti-PD1 or PD-L1 based therapy with clinical benefit (clinical benefit is defined as objective response or stable disease for at least 4 months)
- Performance status 0-2
- Life expectancy ≥ 8 weeks,
- +9 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Prior treatment with ezabenlimab and/or BI 907828,
- Women who are pregnant or breast feeding,
- Participation to a study involving a medical or therapeutic intervention in the last 30 days,
- Previous enrolment in the present study,
- Patient unable to follow and comply with the study procedures because of any geographical, social or psychological reasons,
- Inability to swallow,
- History of severe allergic anaphylactic reactions to chimeric or humanized antibodies or fusion proteins,
- Known hypersensitivity to Chinese hamster ovary cell products or to any component of the ezabenlimab or BI 907828 formulation,
- Symptomatic or actively progressing central nervous system (CNS) metastases.
- History of leptomeningeal disease,
- Primary CNS tumors with any of the following characteristics:
- History of intracranial hemorrhage or spinal cord hemorrhage
- Neurosurgical resection or brain biopsy to the primary brain tumor within 28 days of Cycle 1 Day 1
- Any systemic anticancer treatment within 2 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) prior to start of ezabenlimab combined with BI 907828,
- Whole brain radiotherapy within 14 days prior to start of BI 754091 combined with BI 907828
- +18 more criteria
