TSR-022 (Anti-TIM-3 Antibody) and TSR-042 (Anti-PD-1 Antibody) in Patients With Liver Cancer

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2023-10-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

TSR-022 (cobolimab, TIM-3 binding antibody) and TSR-042 (dostarlimab, PD-1 binding antibody) may stop the growth of tumor cells by allowing the immune system to attack the cancer. This phase II trial is studying how well TSR-022 (cobolimab, TIM-3 binding antibody) and TSR-042 (dostarlimab, PD-1 binding antibody) work in combination in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic liver cancer.

• Prior local therapy, such as surgery, radioembolization, chemoembolization, or radiofrequency ablation is allowed if the index lesion(s) remains outside of the treatment field or has progressed since prior treatment

• Participants must agree to not donate blood during the study or for 90 days after the last dose of protocol therapy

• Female participant has a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to taking study treatment if of childbearing potential and agrees to abstain from activities that could result in pregnancy from screening through 180 days after the last dose of study treatment, or is of nonchildbearing potential.

• Participant must be able to understand the study procedures and agree to participate in the study by providing written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Participant must not be simultaneously enrolled in any interventional clinical trial

• Participant must not have had major surgery ≤ 3 weeks prior to initiating protocol therapy and participant must have recovered from any surgical effects

• Participants must not have received investigational therapy ≤4 weeks, or within a time interval less than at least 5 half-lives of the investigational agent, whichever is shorter, prior to initiating protocol therapy.

• Active or untreated central nervous system (CNS) and leptomeningeal metastases are excluded

• Prior therapy with any medication targeting PD-1, PD-L1, or TIM-3

• Participant must not have a known hypersensitivity to TSR-042 and TSR-022 components or excipients.

• Participants with active malignancy (other than HCC) or a prior malignancy within the past 2 years are excluded. Participants with completely resected cutaneous melanoma (early stage), basal cell carcinoma, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, cervical carcinoma in-situ, breast carcinoma in-situ, and localized prostate cancer are eligible

• Participant must not have serious, uncontrolled medical disorder, or nonmalignant systemic disease. Examples include, but are not limited to uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmia, uncontrolled major seizure disorder, unstable spinal cord compression, or superior vena cava syndrome.

• Participant has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (.ie., with use of disease-modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a form of systemic treatment.

• History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, interstitial lung disease, bronchial asthma, organizing pneumonia, bronchiolitis obliterans, drug-induced pneumonitis, or idiopathic pneumonitis

• History of organ transplantation including allogeneic bone marrow transplantation

• Participant has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or has receiving systemic steroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to initiating protocol therapy.

• Participant has received a live vaccine within 7 days of initiating protocol therapy.
