About this study

Official title: Abrogation of Chronic Monoclonal Antibody Treatment-induced T-cell Exhaustion With DURVALUMAB (MEDI4736) in Advanced HER-2 Negative Breast Cancer: a Pilot Proof-of-concept Trial

This is a single-arm pilot proof of concept, open-label clinical trial. Twenty-five subjects will be enrolled in 6 sites.

Metastatic breast cancer patients with disease progression to bevacizumab maintenance treatment will be potential candidates.

Read more

Bevacizumab maintenance will be considered as six weeks of bevacizumab treatment in monotherapy, with hormonal treatment or combined with chemotherapy in the context of previous bevacizumab plus chemotherapy regimens.

When progression to bevacizumab maintenance treatment occurs, patients will enter the trial and will start receiving DURVALUMAB 10 mg/kg Q2W IV infusion plus bevacizumab 10mg/kg IV infusion every 2 weeks. The patients will undergo a tumor biopsy before the first dose of DURVALUMAB, and after one month of combined treatment - the blood sampling will continue on a monthly basis. The treatment will continue until disease progression.

Read the detailed description

Acquired resistance against chronic administration of the monoclonal antibody antiangiogenic agent like bevacizumab in breast cancer is caused in a fraction of patients by an immune reprogramming. The immune reprogramming can be detected by elevated counts of Tregs in peripheral blood, aberrant pattern of cytokines, and elevated concentrations of kynurenine and immunosuppressive/vasodilator prostaglandins. The addition of DURVALUMAB to a bevacizumab-based treatment would delay or abrogate these changes and be of therapeutic interest in this scenario.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • DurvalumabDrug

    Also called MEDI4736

    Durvalumab is an investigational human monoclonal antibody directed against programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1). PD-L1 can be expressed by tumours to evade detection by the immune system through binding to PD-1 on cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Durvalumab blocks the PD-L1 interaction with PD-1, countering the tumour's immune-evading tactics.

  • BevacizumabDrug

    Also called Avastin

    Bevacizumab is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody that blocks angiogenesis by inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A)

Study groups in NCT02802098
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Bevacizumab + DurvalumabExperimentalTreatment with DURVALUMAB 10 mg/kg Q2W IV infusion plus Bevacizumab 10 mg/ Kg Q2W, IV infusion for a maximum duration of treatment of 12 months. Study treatment should be discontinued prior to 12 months if there is confirmed PD (unless the investigator considers the subject to continue to receive benefit from treatment), initiation of alternative cancer therapy, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or if other reasons to discontinue study treatment occur.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To compare different peripheral blood mononuclear cells subpopulations at baseline or during treatment among patients showing benefit ro not from the combinations

    Determine the immunodynamics changes from baseline in peripheral blood and in the tumor of combined administration of DURVALUMAB and the monoclonal antibody bevacizumab in advanced HER-2- negative breast cancer patients that have progressed to bevacizumab-based treatment. From baseline every 4 weeks throughout the study up to progression disease

    Measured: throughout the study up to progression disease, an average of 1 year

  2. To determine progression-free survival of the combination

    Assessed by RECIST 1.1

    Measured: up to 12 weeks

  3. To determine overall survival

    Overall survival rate by Kaplan-Meier Analysis

    Measured: up to death

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0

    Evaluate safety and toxicity of combination of both DURVALUMAB and bevacizumab

    Measured: Throughout study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Durvalumab and Bevacizumab in people with Metastatic Breast Cancer and Bevacizumab-alone Maintenance Treatment Progression, run by Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Oncologicas CARLOS III at 6 sites in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 30 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jun 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To compare different peripheral blood mononuclear cells subpopulations at baseline or during treatment among patients showing benefit ro not from the combinations (time frame: throughout the study up to progression disease, an average of 1 year). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02802098, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Jun 2020.
