About this trial
The SERPENTINE trial (ESR 21-21165) is a phase II clinical study aiming to evaluate the efficacy of durvalumab and tremelimumab, alone or in combination, in patients with colorectal or endometrial cancer. The trial targets patients with microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) tumors and those with microsatellite stable (MSS) tumors.
Colorectal and endometrial cancers present significant challenges due to their heterogeneity and variable responses to treatment. Immunotherapy, particularly checkpoint inhibitors like durvalumab and tremelimumab, has shown promise in some patients, but predicting response remains elusive. The SERPENTINE trial aims to address this gap by investigating the effectiveness of these immunotherapies in a carefully selected patient population.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Evaluation of Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Assess the objective response rate (ORR) of Durvalumab or Tremelimumab 300 mg single dose followed by Durvalumab in patients with microsatellite instable (MSI) colorectal cancer (CRC) or endometrial cancer (EC) and Tremelimumab 300 mg single dose followed by Durvalumab in refractory microsatellite stable (MSS) CRC and EC according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1.
Secondary outcomes
Antitumor Activity Assessment (PFS)
Evaluate the antitumor activity of Durvalumab + Tremelimumab in MSS CRC/EC and MSI CRC/EC based on progression-free survival (PFS).
Antitumor Activity Assessment (OS)
Evaluate the antitumor activity of Durvalumab + Tremelimumab in MSS CRC/EC and MSI CRC/EC based on overall survival (OS).
Antitumor Activity Assessment (DoR)
Evaluate the antitumor activity of Durvalumab + Tremelimumab in MSS CRC/EC and MSI CRC/EC based on duration of response (DoR).
Antitumor Activity Assessment (TTMR)
Evaluate the antitumor activity of Durvalumab + Tremelimumab in MSS CRC/EC and MSI CRC/EC based on time to maximum response (TTMR).
