Brief summary

GEMINI-Hepatobiliary study will assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of novel immunomodulators alone and in combination with other anticancer drugs in participants with specified advanced solid tumors.

Detailed description

This Phase II, open-label, uncontrolled, multicentre study evaluating the preliminary efficacy and safety of Volrustomig or Rilvegostomig as monotherapy (MONO) and/or in combination with anticancer agents (COMBO) in participants with advanced hepatobiliary cancer (e.g., HCC, BTC, etc.). This study has a modular design with independent substudies. In Substudy 1, Volrustomig and Rilvegostomig will be evaluated as monotherapy and/or in combination with other anticancer drugs in approximately 200 evaluable participants with advanced HCC. In Substudy 2, the efficacy and safety of Rilvegostomig or Volrustomig plus gemcitabine and cisplatin are investigated in approximately 90 evaluable participants with advanced BTC who have not received previous treatment for advanced/metastatic disease.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The number of participants with adverse events/serious adverse eventsThrough study completion, an average of 2 yearsNumber of participants with adverse events and with serious adverse events including abnormal clinical observations, abnormal Electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters, abnormal laboratory assessments and abnormal vital signs that changed from baseline.
Progression free survival (PFS)Through study completion, an average of 2 yearsPFS is defined as the time from the start of studyintervention until progression per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the Investigator at the local site or death due to any cause in the absence of progression, whichever occurs first. (For BTC sub-study 2)
Objective response rate (ORR)Through study completion, an average of 2 yearsORR is defined as the proportion of participants who have a confirmed CR (complete response) or confirmed PR (partial response), determined by the Investigator at local site per RECIST 1.1 (For HCC sub-study 1)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Anti Drug Antibody (ADA)Through study completion, an average of 2 yearsIncidences of ADAs against novel immunomodulators in serum.
Pharmacokinetics of novel immunomodulators: Maximum plasma concentration of the study drug (Cmax)From the first dose of study intervention, at predefined intervals throughout the administration of novel immunomodulators ( approx 2 years )Maximum observed plasma concentration of the study drug
Pharmacokinetics of novel immunomodulators: Time to maximum plasma concentration of the study drug (T-max)From the first dose of study intervention, at predefined intervals throughout the administration of novel immunomodulators ( approx 2 years )Time to maximum observed plasma concentration of the study drug
lmmunogenicity of novel immunomodulatorsFrom the first dose of study intervention, at predefined intervals throughout the administration of novel immunomodulators ( approx 2 years)The number and percentage of participants who develop ADAs.
Objective response rate (ORR)Through study completion, an average of 2 yearsORR is defined as the proportion of participants who have a confirmed CR (complete response) or confirmed PR (partial response), determined by the Investigator at local site per RECIST 1.1
Disease Control Rate (DCR)At 12 and 24 weeksDCR at 12 and 24 weeks is defined as the percentage of participants who have a Complete response (CR) or Partial response (PR) in the first 13 and 25 weeks or who have Stable disease (SD) for at least 11 and 23 weeks after the date of first dose respectively, per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the investigator at local site and derived from the raw tumour data.
Duration Of Response (DOR)Through study completion, an average of 2 yearsDoR is defined as the time from the date of first documented confirmed response until date of documented progression per RECIST 1.1 by the Investigator at local site or death due to any cause in the absence of disease progression, whichever occurs first.
Progression free survival (PFS)Through study completion, an average of 2 yearsPFS is defined as the time from the start of study intervention until progression per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the Investigator at the local site or death due to any cause in the absence of progression, whichever occurs first.
Overall Survival (OS)Through study completion, an average of 2 yearsOS is defined as the time from the start of study intervention until the date of death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
