About this trial
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of a neoantigen vaccine targeting the DNAJB1-PRKACA fusion kinase in combination with DRP-104, Nivolumab and Ipilimumab is safe and yields a clinically compelling antitumor activity measured as based on objective response rate (ORR, assessed by RECIST 1.1). Secondary objectives include progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Must have histologically confirmed FLC that is metastatic or unresectable.
Presence of DNAJB1-PRKACA fusion transcript, assessed by RNA-sequencing, DNA-sequencing, or in situ hybridization in the archival tissue.
Must have demonstrated radiographic progression on prior or current immunotherapy.
Age ≥ 12 years.
Disqualifiers
Patients with a history of prior treatment with checkpoint inhibitors, such as anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, anti-CD137, anti-OX-40, anti-CD40, anti-CTLA-4, or anti-LAG-3 antibodies.
Patients who have had chemotherapy, biological cancer therapy, or radiation 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug.

Treatments tested in this trial
DNAJB1-PRKACA Peptide Vaccine
Drug1. Patients will receive treatment on Day 1, 8 and 15 of cycle 1 and on Day 1 of cycle 2, 3, and 4 (Prime Phase). Boost vaccinations will be administered every 3 cycles beginning from C5D1. 2. Drug: 0.3 mg DNAJB1-PRKACA peptide vaccine + 0.5 mg Poly-ICLC
DRP-104
Drug1. Patients will receive treatment on Day 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, and 18 of cycle 1-4 (Prime Phase) then on Days 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, 18, 22 and 25 of each cycle starting on Day 1 of Cycle 5 (Boost/maintenance Phase). DRP-104 will be administered as a subcutaneous injection twice a week (BIW) on a continuous schedule for up to two years. 2. Drug: 145 mg
Nivolumab
Drug1. Patients will receive treatment on Day 1 of each Cycle. Nivolumab 3mg/kg will be administered every 3 weeks as a 30 minute IV infusion (-10/+15min) on Day 1 of Cycle 1-4 (Prime Phase). Nivolumab infusions will be administered as a flat dose of 480mg every 4 weeks starting on Day 1 of Cycle 5 (Boost/maintenance). 2. Drug: 3mg/kg and 480mg IV
Ipilimumab
Drug1. Patients will receive treatment on Day 1 of Cycle 1-4 (Prime Phase). Ipilimumab (1 mg/kg) will be administered. Ipilimumab (1 mg/kg) will be administered as a 30 minute IV infusion (-10/+15min). 2. Drug: 1mg/kg IV

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Number of participants experiencing grade 3 or above drug-related toxicities
When calculating the incidence of AEs, each AE (as defined by NCI CTCAE v6.0) will be counted only once for a given subject.
Objective response rate (ORR) using immune Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1)
ORR is defined as the percentage of patients achieving a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) to DRP-104 in combination with DRP-104, Nivolumab and Ipilimumab, based on the immune Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) at any time during the study. CR = disappearance of all target lesions, PR is =\>30percent decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, progressive disease (PD) is \>20percent increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, stable disease (SD) is \<30percent decrease or \<20percent increase in sum of diameters of target lesions.
Secondary outcomes
Progression-free Survival (PFS) number of months according to RECIST (1.1) criteria.
PFS is defined as the number of months from the date of first treatment to disease progression (progressive disease \[PD\] or relapse from complete response \[CR\] as assessed using RECIST 1.1 criteria) or death due to any cause. Per RECIST 1.1 criteria, CR = disappearance of all target lesions, Partial Response (PR) is =\>30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, Progressive Disease (PD) is \>20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, Stable Disease (SD) is \<30% decrease or \<20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions.
Overall survival (OS) of patients treated with study drug combination
OS is defined as the number of months from the first dose of study treatment to death from any cause. (OS will be censored on the date the subject was last known to be alive for subjects without documentation of death at the time of analysis). Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.
