Официальное название

Pembrolizumab and GVD With ctDNA-guided Consolidation in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Classic Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Multicenter Phase 2 Study of the University of California Hematologic Malignancies Consortium

Обзор

This is a single arm, open-label, multicenter, phase II study of pembrolizumab (pembro), gemcitabine, vinorelbine, and liposomal doxorubicin (GVD) in patients with relapsed or refractory classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) with response-adapted consolidation. This study will investigate using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) at pre-determined time points using Foresight CLARITY LDT, an ultra-sensitive liquid biopsy platform that detects Minimal residual disease (MRD) in patients with B-cell lymphomas using the phased variant enrichment and sequencing technology (PhasEDq) to determine response to study interventions.

Подробное описание

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine the ctDNA/MRD-negative, PET-negative complete response rate for cHL patients undergoing treatment with pembro + GVD.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine progression-free survival (PFS) overall survival (OS) at 2 years among patients receiving non-transplant consolidation.

II. To determine PFS and OS at 2 years for the overall cohort.

III. To determine the proportion of patients treated with pembro + GVD and non-transplant consolidation who ultimately undergo Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT) within 2 years.

IV. To determine the rate of discordance between Positron Emission Tomography (PET)/Computerized tomography (CT) response and ctDNA/MRD response.

V. To determine the incidence of adverse events, including immune-related adverse events, in patients receiving pembro + GVD and pembrolizumab consolidation.

VI. To assess health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) as measured by Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) 29 and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-COmprehensive Score for financial Toxicity (FACIT-COST).

VII. To determine the proportion of patients with relapsed or refractory cHL for whom baseline Foresight CLARITY LDT genotyping from the peripheral blood is successful

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the kinetics of ctDNA/MRD clearance in the peripheral blood after pembro + GVD.

II. To evaluate the ctDNA/MRD-negative complete response (CR) rate and 2-year PFS stratified by cHL molecular subgroup at diagnosis (H1 vs H2 genotype).

III. To evaluate long term efficacy and toxicity outcomes for up to 5 years.

IV. To compare the performance of identification of phased variants from plasma genotyping with identification of phased variants from archival tissue genotyping.

OUTLINE:

Participants will undergo response assessment and ctDNA/MRD assessment using phased variant enrichment and detection sequencing (PhasED-Seq) using Foresight CLARITY LDT. A composite response assessment will be used to determine eligibility for non-transplant consolidation. Participants who achieve a response after 2 cycles of pembro + GVD will be eligible for non-transplant consolidation with 8 cycles of pembrolizumab and/or 30 Gray (Gy) involved-site radiotherapy (ISRT). Participants not achieving a response will discontinue study therapy and proceed to study follow-up, during which time participants can receive standard of care salvage therapy and ASCT, if eligible. Participants will be followed for up to 5 years from trial entry for long term efficacy and toxicity outcomes.

• Demonstrates adequate organ function as defined below:

• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.0 X 10\^9/ L (1000/microliter (mcL), growth factors permitted).
• Platelets ≥ 75 X 10\^9 / L (75,000/mcL, platelet transfusion independent).

• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) / (SGOT) ≤3 x institutional upper limit of normal.
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) / (SGPT) ≤3 x institutional upper limit of normal.
• Creatinine clearance (CrCl, calculated) ≥ 40 mL/min/1.73 m\^2, calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault equation.
• For participants with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated.
• Individuals with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated with sustained virologic response. For individuals with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, participants are eligible if there is an undetectable HCV viral load.
• Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial.
• Individuals 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 are eligible for this trial.
• Females of reproductive potential (defined below) must be willing to undergo a urine or serum pregnancy test (i.e., human chorionic gonadotropin test) within 72 hours before start of trial therapy. A female is considered to not be of reproductive potential (regardless of sexual orientation, having undergone a tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice), if the participants meet either of the following two criteria: (1) has reached a postmenopausal state (≥ 12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause); or (2) has undergone surgical sterilization (i.e., hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy for removal of uterus and/or ovaries). The result of the urine or serum pregnancy test must be negative in order to administer initiate trial therapy. If a urine pregnancy test cannot be confirmed as negative (e.g., an ambiguous result), a serum pregnancy test is required. In such cases, the individual must be excluded from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive. Pregnant individuals are excluded from this study because there is a potential risk for adverse effects in the unborn child secondary to treatment of the study participant with trial therapy.
• Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

• Has any significant medical condition or comorbidity that could compromise participants safety in the opinion of the treating investigator (e.g., uncontrolled serious infection).
• Individuals who are pregnant or breast-feeding/chest-feeding. Pregnant and breastfeeding individuals are excluded because there is a potential risk for adverse effects in the unborn/nursing child secondary to treatment of the study participant with trial therapies. Females of reproductive potential must have a negative pregnancy test before initiation of trial therapy, as outlined in inclusion criterion #12. Breast-feeding should be discontinued before initiation of trial therapy.
• Individuals with ongoing Grade 2 events that are not clinically stable or ongoing ≥ Grade 3 events (CTCAE v5.0 grading).
• Notification from Foresight Diagnostics that the CLARITY LDT baseline specimen has failed sample quality control (QC) and/or the baseline ctDNA is not quantifiable. Note: Foresight will only notify sites if the specimen fails quality control (QC) or is not quantifiable. Sites will not receive notification if the specimen passes QC and is quantifiable. For QC failures, a sample re-draw may be considered upon discussion with and approval by the lead University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Principal Investigator.
• Individuals with any condition or social circumstance that, in the opinion of the investigator, would impair the participant's ability to comply with study activities, interfere with participant safety, or study endpoints.
