Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This Phase 1b/2 trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant immunotherapy in microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancer (CRC) subjects with resectable liver metastases.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a Phase 1b/2 study of neoadjuvant dupilumab and toripalimab in MSS CRC subjects with resectable liver metastases. The primary objective of Phase 1b is to determine the safety of neoadjuvant immunotherapy in MSS CRC subjects with resectable liver metastases. The primary objective of Phase 2 is to determine the efficacy of immunotherapy in MSS CRC subjects with resectable liver metastases as measured by the percentage of subjects achieving a major pathological response (MPR). Eligible subjects will receive dupilumab (600mg on Day 1 and 300mg on D15 ±2 days) and toripalimab 240mg on Day 1 before planned surgery. Dupilumab is administered as a subcutaneous injection. Toripalimab is administered intravenously over 60 minutes or longer. Based on clinical signal in the current cohort and new findings in animal models, additional cohorts will be added to test different immunotherapy combinations in the same patient population with the same endpoints and statistical method in the future.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

NA

Intervention Model

SEQUENTIAL

Safety run-in phase of at most 6 subjects, guided by a 3+3 design. Phase 2: After enrolling 12 patients in the first stage, the trial will be terminated if no radiological responses are observed. If at least one response is observed, 9 additional patients will be enrolled for a total of 21. If 3 or more radiological responses are observed in the full cohort, the null hypothesis will be rejected and the treatment considered for further study.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

Histological diagnosis of non-MSI-H/pMMR CRC

• Subjects who have biology-proven non-MSI-H/pMMR CRC and with radiographic findings suggestive of liver metastases may be eligible.

Resectable liver metastases including:

* synchronous liver metastases (present at the time of diagnosis of MSS CRC) and treatment-naïve
* metachronous liver metastasis (developed after resection of the primary tumor) without prior adjuvant chemotherapy
* metachronous liver metastasis (developed after resection of the primary tumor) with adjuvant chemotherapy completed greater than 3 months from the time of consent.

Surgical candidate for resection

Age ≥ 18 years. Rationale: Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of dupilumab in combination with toripalimab in subjects \<18 years of age, children are excluded from this study.

ECOG Performance Status 0-1 (Karnofsky ≥60%,)

• Subjects with performance status \>1 carrying long-term disability (such as cerebral palsy) where the disability is not acute nor progressive, and unlikely to significantly affect their response to therapy may be enrolled at the investigator's discretion

Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) and men must agree to use adequate contraception upon study entry, for the duration of study participation, and for 3 months following completion of therapy.

* A female of child-bearing potential is any woman (regardless of sexual orientation, having undergone a tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice) who meets the following criteria:

* Has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or
* Has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months).

Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent. Legally authorized representatives may sign and give informed consent on behalf of study participants.

Adequate organ and marrow function as defined:

* Hematologic

o Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1,000 /mcL
* Platelets ≥75,000 /mcL
* Hemoglobin ≥8 g/dL
* Renal\* o Serum creatinine ≤1.5 X upper limit of normal (ULN) OR Measured or calculated (Creatinine clearance should be calculated per institutional standard) creatinine clearance (GFR can also be used in place of creatinine or CrCl) ≥45 mL/min for subjects with creatinine levels \> 1.5 X institutional ULN
* Hepatic\* o Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 X ULN OR Direct bilirubin ≤ ULN for subjects with total bilirubin levels \> 1.5 ULN; ≤ 3 X ULN for subjects with liver metastases o AST ≤ 2.5 X ULN OR ≤ 5 X ULN for subjects with liver metastases

* ALT ≤ 2.5 X ULN OR ≤ 5 X ULN for subjects with liver metastases
* Albumin \>2.5 mg/dL
* Coagulation\*

* International Normalized Ratio (INR) or Prothrombin Time (PT) ≤1.5 X ULN unless subject is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants
* Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT) ≤1.5 X ULN unless subject is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants \* If laboratory criteria are not met due to what the investigator determines to be a biologic cause (e.g. Gilbert's syndrome causing elevated bilirubin or excessive muscle mass affecting creatinine) or drug-related cause (e.g. elevating in transaminases due to HAART therapy, elevated INR due to anticoagulation) then the lab values will not be used to exclude subject from this trial. This determination will be made by PI.

Exclusion Criteria

* Vitiligo, alopecia, psoriasis or any chronic skin condition that does not require systemic therapy
* Hypothyroidism (e.g. following autoimmune thyroiditis) stable on thyroid replacement

Use of investigational agents for treatment of cancer.

Subjects with extrahepatic metastases that are not amendable to resectable or locoregional therapy, for whom the intent of surgery would not be curative.

Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection requiring antibiotics (exception is a brief (≤10 days) course of antibiotics to be completed before initiation of treatment), symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements, as determined the treating investigator.

Pregnant or nursing women due to the potential for congenital abnormalities and the potential of this regimen to harm nursing infants.

Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the subject's participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating Investigator.

HIV positive with detectable viral load, or anyone not on stable anti-viral (HAART) regimen, or with \<200 CD4+ T cells/microliter in the peripheral blood. HIV testing is mandatory for patients with no known history of HIV. For such patients, HIV testing will be considered SOC.
