Brief summary

This study will assess the safety and effectiveness of fimaporfin-induced photochemical internalisation (PCI) of gemcitabine complemented by systemic gemcitabine/cisplatin chemotherapy compared to gemcitabine/cisplatin alone, in patients with inoperable cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the treatment groups and will receive study treatment for 6 months, followed by assessments every 3 months, as applicable.

Detailed description

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is an uncommon adenocarcinoma arising from cells lining the bile ducts. Standard treatment options for CCA include surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, dependent upon if the CCA is intra- or extra-hepatic. Surgical removal of the tumor is the only potential cure, and CCA is very resistant to standard pharmaceutical drug treatment, though chemotherapy has some effect. Current chemotherapy uses cisplatin plus gemcitabine. Photochemical internalisation (PCI) is a novel technology, where photochemical reactions are used to enhance the effect of drugs by increasing their ability cross cell membranes to interact with their intended target. This study will assess the safety and effectiveness of fimaporfin-induced PCI of gemcitabine complemented by systemic gemcitabine/cisplatin chemotherapy compared to gemcitabine/cisplatin alone, in patients with inoperable CCA. NOTE: Participants are no longer being recruited to this study.

Interventions

DRUGFimaporfin and Gemcitabine

PCI treatment consists of IV administration of Amphinex solution for injection (investigational product) at 0.22 mg/kg dose of fimaporfin, followed 4 days later by a standard dose of gemcitabine infusion (1000 mg/m²) and intraluminal laser light application. Up to 2 PCI treatments will be given.

DRUGGemcitabine/Cisplatin chemotherapy

Up to 8 cycles of gemcitabine/cisplatin combination chemotherapy will be administered.

Inclusion criteria

1. Each patient must provide signed and witnessed written informed consent and agree to comply with study protocol requirements. 2. Histopathologically/cytologically verified adenocarcinoma consistent with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Must have biliary lesion causing bile obstruction that requires stenting and is accessible for PCI light treatment (ie, extrahepatic CCA \[perihilar or distal\] only). 3. CCA must be considered inoperable with respect to radical resection. 4. At least 1 radiologically evaluable lesion (measurable and/or non-measurable) that can be assessed at baseline and is suitable for repeated radiological evaluation. 5. If metastatic, metastases must be limited tissues other than bone or the central nervous system. 6. Must have adequate biliary drainage (at least 50% of the liver volume or at least 2 sectors) with no evidence of active uncontrolled infection (patients on antibiotics are eligible). 7. Must have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1. 8. Estimated life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.

Exclusion criteria

Patients with severe visceral disease other than CCA. 3. A history of frequently recurring septic biliary events. 4. Patients with porphyria or hypersensitivity to porphyrins. 5. Patients with a second primary cancer with a disease-free interval of \<5 years.

Known hypersensitivity to or contraindication to the use of gemcitabine (active substance and/or any of the excipients). 13. Known hypersensitivity to or contraindication to the use of cisplatin (active substance and/or any of the excipients). 14. Patients with ataxia telangiectasia. 15. Upon the Investigator's discretion, evidence of any other medical conditions (such as psychiatric illness, physical examination or laboratory findings) that may interfere with the planned PCI treatment, affect patient compliance or place the patient at high risk from treatment-related complications. 16. Patients planning to have or who have recently had vaccination with a live vaccine. 17. Patients concurrently receiving treatment with phenytoin. 18. Male patients unwilling to use highly effective contraception or female patients of childbearing potential unwilling to use highly effective form of contraception.

Area Under the Plasma Concentration Curve (AUC) Was Performed for Patients in Arm A.

A non-compartmental analysis (NCA) was applied on the data. AUC from time zero to the last measured concentration (AUC 0-t) was initially estimated by the linear trapezoidal method.

Time frame: Time Frame AUC calculated from time zero to C5-D8 (3 months from the first PCI treatment)

Population: AUC was calculated for each single patient and not for the population since the study was terminated and the amount of data was limited. No mean and standard deviation was calculated for the population

Time frame: Timepoints for PK sampling: Day -4 (before, 30 min and 4 hours after Amphinex), C1-D1, C1-D8, C2-D8, C3-D8, C4-D8, C4-D18 (before, 30 min and 4 hours after Amphinex) , C5-D1, and C5-D8

Population: A standard non-compartmental PK analysis (NCA) of bioanalytical data from 13 patients dosed with fimaporfin was performed for the RELEASE study.
