Combination Maintenance Immunotherapy Versus Maintenance Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer
This phase Ib/II trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose, and efficacy of combination maintenance immunotherapy with domvanalimab, zimberelimab, and sotigalimab versus maintenance chemotherapy with leucovorin calcium, fluorouracil, irinotecan (FOLFIRI) in treating patients with pancreatic cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with domvanalimab, zimberelimab, and sotigalimab, may induce changes in the body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as combination FOLFIRI, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Combination immunotherapy drugs may be more effective at treating metastatic pancreatic cancer than the standard chemotherapy treatment.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. The primary objective is to determine the safety and dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) of combination domvanalimab + zimberelimab + sotigalimab.
II. To determine whether switch maintenance (domvanalimab + zimberelimab + sotigalimab) will improve progression-free survival post- fluorouracil, irinotecan, leucovorin, oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX) (PFS2) compared to continuous maintenance leucovorin calcium, fluorouracil, irinotecan (FOLFIRI).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and duration of response (DoR) of domvanalimab + zimberelimab + sotigalimab in the maintenance setting.
II. To determine ORR and DCR of domvanalimab + zimberelimab + sotigalimab in the second line setting compared to historical controls (Chae et al., 2020; Portal et al., 2015).
III. To determine the progression-free survival (PFS) of domvanalimab + zimberelimab + sotigalimab in the second line setting compared to historical controls (Chae et al., 2020; Portal et al., 2015).
IV. To determine overall survival (OS) in both arms.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the ORR and DoR of domvanalimab + zimberelimab + sotigalimab in the maintenance and second line settings using immune Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria.
II. To determine whether switch maintenance (domvanalimab + zimberelimab + sotigalimab) will improve PFS2 compared to continuous maintenance (FOLFIRI) in patients with elevated expression of CD155 (on pre-treatment biopsy).
III. To determine whether switch maintenance (domvanalimab + zimberelimab + sotigalimab) will improve PFS2 compared to continuous maintenance (FOLFIRI) in patients with an elevated burden of predicted neoepitopes (on pre-treatment biopsy).
OUTLINE: This is a phase Ib followed by a phase II study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms in phase II.
ARM A: Patients receive domvanalimab intravenously (IV) over 1 hour, zimberelimab IV over 1 hour, and sotigalimab IV over 60 minutes on days 1 and 15 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 26 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo a computed tomography (CT) scan and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as well as a tumor biopsy and blood sample collection throughout the trial.
ARM B: Patients receive FOLFIRI IV on study. Patients in Arm B who experience disease progression will be given the option to crossover and receive domvanalimab, zimberelimab, and sotigalimab in the second-line setting, provided they meet eligibility criteria. Patients undergo a CT scan and/or MRI, as well as a tumor biopsy and blood sample collection throughout the trial.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and then every 3 months for 12 months until progressive disease or initiation of an anticancer therapy.
