Halted Therapeutic exploratory (Phase II) The patients enrolled in IMMUNORARE will be adult patients with 5 rare cancers: -Cohort 1: Peritoneal mesotheliomas (PM) -Cohort 2: Gestational trophoblastic tumors (GTT) -Cohort 3: B3 thymomas and thymic carcinomas (TET) -Cohort 4: Anaplastic thyroid carcinomas (ATC) -Cohort 5: GEP-NET & carcinoid tumors (GEP-NET/TCT/UP-NET) Patients will have advanced/metastatic cancers found to be progressive/resistant after at least one previous line of standard systemic treatment.

IMMUNORARE5 : A national platform of 5 academic phase II trials coordinated by Lyon university hospital to assess the safety and the efficacy of the IMMUNOtherapy with Domvanalimab + Zimberelimab combination in patients with advanced RARE cancers

EU CTIS ID: 2024-517254-99-00

What this study is testing

The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of the combination of Domvanalimab and Zimberelimab in patients with 5 types of advanced rare cancers (peritoneal mesotheliomas, gestational trophoblastic tumors, thymic carcinomas, anaplastic thyroid carcinomas, and GEP-NET & carcinoid tumors) in progression/resistance after at least one standard line of treatment.

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Histologically proven advanced solid tumors that progressed/resisted after minimum one line of standard systemic treatment, or resisted during the first-line of treatment
  • Specific inclusion criteria for Cohort 2 : Evidence of resistance or relapse after at least one line of polychemotherapy (e.g. EP low dose, BEP regimen, EMA-CO regimen …)
  • Specific inclusion criteria for Cohort 3 : Thymic carcinoma, histologically confirmed by a referent pathologist of the RYTHMIC network
  • No indication of curative surgery for this disease at inclusion (For cohort 1 only (peritoneal mesothelioma), debulking surgery could be considered after minimum 6 months of study treatment in the case of important tumor response)
  • Specific inclusion criteria for Cohort 3 : Evidence of progression or relapse after at least one line of platinum-based chemotherapy
  • Specific inclusion criteria for Cohort 4 : Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma with non-mutated or mutated B-RAF, histologically or cytologically-confirmed by a referent pathologist of the Tuthyref network

You likely can't join if

  • Previous treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (including anti-TIGIT, anti-PD1, anti-PD-L1, anti-CTLA4,), or other types of immunotherapy
  • Time window of less than 4 weeks between the last cycle of systemic treatments or the last day of radiotherapy and the first dose of study treatment (or less than 5 half-lives of the previous agents, if shorter than 4 weeks). An exception applies for palliative radiotherapy administered locally to control local symptoms likely to compromise the patient functional status (e.g., pain, compression, hemorrhage), as such treatment is not expected to interfere with the assessment of the efficacy or safety of the investigational systemic therapy given concurrently. For patients with rapidly progressive malignancies that may fast compromise their vital status, a minimum interval of two weeks between the last cycle of platinum-based chemotherapy (with or without concurrent radiotherapy) or the last day of radiotherapy, and the start of study treatment, is acceptable, upon approval by one of the two coordinators of the cohort. Patients receiving bisphosphonates for bone metastases may remain on a stable dose regimen, provided that treatment was initiated at least 4 weeks before the first administration of the study drug.
  • Treatment with other investigational agents prone to interact with outcomes of the trial upon to investigator opinion.
  • Bowel occlusive syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, immune colitis, or other gastro-intestinal disorders that do not allow oral medication such as malabsorption.
  • Specific exclusion criteria for Cohort 5 : Poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas
  • Specific exclusion criteria for Cohort 5 : Mixed tumors
