Study of Chemotherapy, With or Without Binimetinib in Advanced Biliary Tract Cancers in 2nd Line Setting (A ComboMATCH Treatment Trial)

• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2025-01-21
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This phase II ComboMATCH treatment trial compares the usual treatment of modified leucovorin, fluorouracil and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6) chemotherapy to using binimetinib plus mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy to shrink tumors in patients with biliary tract cancers that have spread to other places in the body (advanced) and had progression of cancer after previous treatments (2nd line setting). Fluorouracil is in a class of medications called antimetabolites. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells in the body. Oxaliplatin is in a class of medications called platinum-containing antineoplastic agents. It works by killing tumor cells. Leucovorin may help the other drugs in the mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy regimen work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drugs. Binimetinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of the abnormal protein that signals tumor cells to multiply. This helps to stop or slow the spread of tumor cells. Giving binimetinib in combination with mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy may be effective in shrinking or stabilizing advanced biliary tract cancers in the 2nd line setting.

Copy number and allele frequency cutoffs as per the Registration Protocol.

• Patients must be enrolled on the ComboMATCH Master Registration Trial EAY191

• Patients must have RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK mutations as determined by the ComboMATCH screening assessment

• Patients must have disease that can be safely biopsied and agree to a pre-treatment biopsy or have archival tissue available from within 12 months prior to registration

• Participants must have histologically confirmed BTC (intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma [IHC], extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma [EHC] or gallbladder cancer [GBC]) that is unresectable or recurrent with a confirmed RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK pathway mutation via any Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA)-certified method (tumor or ct-DNA). BRAFV600E mutations are not eligible due to other ongoing/upcoming studies in this disease cohort

• Measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 Of note, in the case when a baseline biopsy is done after scans are obtained, a lesion separate from one that is biopsied needs to be measurable per RECIST 1.1. All radiologic studies must be performed within 28 days prior to randomization

• Progression of disease on gemcitabine based first-line regimen

• No systemic anti-cancer therapy within 4 weeks of registration to EAY191-A6

• No prior MEK inhibitor therapy

• No prior history of treatment with a direct and specific inhibitor of KRAS

• Patients who only received radio-sensitizing chemotherapy with fluorouracil (5-FU) or capecitabine, are eligible but need to have received and failed first-line systemic chemotherapy upon recurrence. Peri-operative systemic 5-FU/capecitabine and/or oxaliplatin, is allowed if it's been more than 12 months of registration to EAY191-A6

• No major surgery within 4 weeks (excluding placement of vascular access) of registration to EAY191-A6

• No minor surgery within 2 weeks of registration to EAY191-A6

• No palliative radiotherapy within 1 week of registration to EAY191-A6

• Not pregnant and not nursing, because this study involves an investigational agent whose genotoxic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects on the developing fetus and newborn are unknown

• Therefore, for women of childbearing potential only, a negative pregnancy test done =< 14 days prior to registration is required

• Adequate contraception is needed for at least 30 days after the last dose of binimetinib and breastfeeding should be discontinued for at least 3 days after the last dose of binimetinib. For FOLFOX regimen, 9 months is recommended for contraception after last dose of oxaliplatin for females of childbearing potential and 6 months for males
