About this trial
In the present TACTIC clinical trial, the investigators propose to determine the clinical interest and immunological efficacy of a treatment combining MP0317 the FAP (Fibroblast Activation Protein)-dependent CD40 agonist, with anti-PD-L1(Programmed Death-Ligand 1) therapy (durvalumab) and gemcitabine-cisplatin-based chemotherapy in unresectable cholangiocarcinoma.
The main objective is to assess the 12-month progression free survival (PFS) rate in the experimental arm. The trial proposed is a non-comparative proof of concept randomized two-stage phase II. The control arm will serve to verify the good calibration of the null hypothesis made in the experimental arm and to provide "true" controls for translational investigations. A semi-continuous monitoring of toxicity is planned in the experimental arm during the first stage of the study to warrant the tolerability of the experimental treatment and then to guarantee the security of the patients.
75 patients (50 in the experimental arm) will be included. The investigators will also decipher, as a translational objective, the molecular and immunological parameters determining the clinical outcomes.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Signed and dated informed consent
Histologically confirmed biliary tract carcinoma: intra/extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (note that gallbladder carcinoma are not eligible)
Locally advanced unresectable or metastatic
Patient who had not previously received systemic anti-cancer treatment (adjuvant treatment with Capecitabine is allowed if the end of the chemotherapy was at least 6 months ago)
Disqualifiers
Patients previously exposed to anti-tumor immunotherapy such as anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-CTLA4 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4) agent or any immune therapy
Diagnosis of additional malignancy within 3 years prior to the inclusion with the exception of curatively treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin and/or curatively resected in situ cervical or breast cancer
Patient with any medical or psychiatric condition or disease, which would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study
Current participation in a study of an investigational agent or in the period of exclusion
