Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab and apatinib as combination therapy in patients with ultra high-risk (Cohort A) and high-risk chemo-refractory or relapsed (Cohort B) gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN). Eligible patients will receive camrelizumab plus apatinib plus chemotherapy. Treatment will be continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab and apatinib as combination therapy in patients with ultra high-risk (Cohort A) and high-risk chemo-refractory or relapsed (Cohort B) gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN).

Cohort A: Eligible patients will receive camrelizumab (200mg q2w iv) plus apatinib (250 mg qd po) plus chemotherapy. After normalization of serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) levels, patients will receive 4 cycles of consolidation chemotherapy combined with camrelizumab plus apatinib and then 6 months of camrelizumab plus apatinib as maintenance treatment. Treatment will be continued until completion of treatment, disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent.The primary endpoint is complete remission rate (the proportion of patients achieving complete remission). Secondary endpoints include objective response rate (the proportion of patients achieving complete remission and partial remission), progression-free survival (time from the treatment initiation to disease progression or death, whichever comes first), overall survival (time from the treatment initiation to the date of death or last follow-up), duration of response (time from the first evidence of response to disease progression or death, whichever comes first) and safety.

Cohort B: Eligible patients will receive camrelizumab (200mg q3w iv) plus apatinib (250 mg qd po) plus chemotherapy. Treatment will be continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. Patients will receive 6 cycles of consolidation therapy if achieving a complete response. The primary endpoint is objective response rate. Secondary endpoints include progression-free survival, duration of response, overall survival and safety.

Study Groups

Cohort A

Population: ultra high-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Camrelizumab plus apatinib CohortA

Intervention Type: DRUG

Cohort A: Camrelizumab (200 mg q2w iv) concomitantly with apatinib (250 mg qd po) and EMA/CO \[etoposide, methotrexate, actinomycin D/cyclophosphamide, vincristine\] every 2 weeks. For certain patients with high tumor burden, 1-2 cycles of low-dose chemotherapy (actinomycin D 500 ug and etoposide 100mg/m2, D1-3) will be administered, then followed by EMA/CO. The observation period is 14 days.

Cohort B

Population: high-risk chemo-refractory or relapsed gestational trophoblastic neoplasia

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Camrelizumab plus apatinib Cohort B

Intervention Type: DRUG

Cohort B: Camrelizumab (200 mg q3w iv) concomitantly with apatinib (250 mg qd po) and multi-drug chemotherapy. The multi-drug chemotherapy regimen will be chosen by the investigator (chemotherapy regimen: EMA/CO \[etoposide, methotrexate, actinomycin D/cyclophosphamide, vincristine\]; or EMA/EP \[etoposide, methotrexate and actinomycin-D/etoposide, cisplatin\]; or FAEV \[floxuridine, actinomycin-D, etoposide, vincristine\]). The observation period is 21 days.
