Conditions

Biliary Tract Cancer

Brief summary

This is a phase II, multicenter, open-label study with a safety run-in to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GEN-001 in combination with pembrolizumab or in combination with pembrolizumab and mFOLFOX for patients with advanced refractory BTC who have progressed after 1 or 2 prior standard therapy and are not candidates for any other standard therapy. The safety run-in phase will be conducted before the main study phase

Interventions

The capsules taken by mouth. Each capsule will contain ≥ 3x10\^11 colony-forming units (CFU)

DRUGPembrolizumab

200 mg given by intravenous (IV) infusion once every 3 weeks

mFOLFOX given by intravenous (IV) once every 2 weeks for only cohort 3

Inclusion criteria

* The patient (or legally acceptable representative if applicable) provides written informed consent for the trial. * Be ≥19 years of age on day of signing informed consent. * Patient with histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of unresectable, recurrent, or metastatic advanced biliary tract adenocarcinoma of the gallbladder or biliary tree (either intrahepatic or extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma)

Exclusion criteria

* A WOCBP who has a positive urine pregnancy test (within 72 hours) prior to treatment. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required. * Has received prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2 agent or with an agent directed to another stimulatory or co-inhibitory T-cell receptor (Cohort 1 only), and was discontinued from the previous IO therapy due to a Grade 3 or higher immune-related AE (irAE) (Cohort 2 and Cohort 3). * Is currently participating and receiving study treatments or has participated in a study of an investigational agent and received the study therapy or has used an investigational device within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment. * Has had an allogeneic tissue/solid organ transplan

Objective Response Rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 by the Investigator.1 yearsThe assessment of the anti-tumor activity per cohort

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
