About this trial

The study will enroll patients with history of malignancy treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) that have developed a grade 2 or higher immune related adverse event requiring treatment discontinuation as deemed by the patient's treating physician. Patients will be sequentially enrolled into the single-arm study after meeting the pre-specified eligibility criteria

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Eligible patients include patients with malignancy treated with ICI, who have been diagnosed with a clinically significant irAE (grade 1-3 attributed to ICI per CTCAE v6.0) requiring interruption of ICI by the treating physician. This study is limited to patients with the following specific irAEs as IL-6R blockade has demonstrated effectiveness in these conditions. Specific toxicities eligible for inclusion are; arthritis, colitis, PMR, nephritis, pneumonitis, hepatitis, myositis

The risk/benefit profile must favor ICI rechallenge as deemed per treating oncologist

The irAE must have improved to grade 1 by CTCAE criteria v6.0 for at least 1 week (exception for patients who have endocrinopathies which will typically require lifelong hormone supplementation)

Be willing and able to provide informed consent/assent for the trial

Disqualifiers

History of grade 4 irAE (attributed to ICI per CTCAE v6.0)

History of cardiovascular or neurologic immune related adverse event

Active or serious infections

History of latent Tuberculosis (TB) or uncontrolled hepatitis B/C

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Sarilumab

    Drug

    Sarilumab is dosed 200 mg subcutaneously every two weeks for a total of 24 weeks.

  • ICI Therapy

    Drug

    ICI will be administered on day 1 of each 3 or 4 week cycle depending on the selected ICI agent. Administration of ICI will continue past the 24 week timepoint per discretion of the investigator.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Safety as assessed by Absence of any grade ≥2 Immune Related Adverse Event (irAE)

Absence of any grade ≥2 Immune Related Adverse Event (irAE) in the 3 months after ICI rechallenge, defined as grade ≥2 adverse event attributed to ICI by CTCAE v6.0

Time frame
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 53 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Safety and tolerability as assessed by occurrence of adverse events

Safety and tolerability will be measured by occurrence of grade ≥3 adverse events as measured by CTCAE v6.0 and patient reported outcomes (PROs) as assessed by PRO-CTCAE v1.0.

Time frame
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 53 weeks
2

Absence of Serious immune-related adverse event

To assess to the safety of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor (ICI) rechallenge with sarilumab with respect to serious irAE of grade ≥2 in patients with a history of non- cardiovascular and non-neurologic clinically significant irAEs.

Time frame
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 53 weeks
3

Efficacy as assessed by progression free survival

Cancer outcomes will be measured by progression free survival (PFS). PFS is defined as the time from first dose of sarilumab + ICI rechallenge until investigator-assessed radiological progressive disease (PD) or death, whichever comes first.

Time frame
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 53 weeks
4

Efficacy as assessed by Overall survival

Cancer outcomes will be measured by overall survival (OS).Overall survival is defined as the time from first dose of sarilumab + ICI rechallenge until death.

Time frame
From enrollment to the end of treatment at 53 weeks
