Summary

This phase III trial studies the effect of tenofovir alafenamide in preventing liver complications in patients with current or past hepatitis B virus (HBV) who are receiving anti-cancer therapy for solid tumors. People with chronic or past HBV who are undergoing therapy for cancer are at an increased risk for changes in the liver which could be minor or severe. Tenofovir alafenamide is a drug that acts against infections caused by HBV and may help reduce the chance that HBV gets worse or comes back in patients receiving anti-cancer therapy for solid tumors.

Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To compare the effect of prophylactic anti-HBV therapy versus upon indication anti-HBV therapy on time-to-adverse liver outcomes of liver failure or liver-related death in patients with chronic HBV infection (hepatitis B surface antigen positive [HBsAg+] and antibody to hepatitis B core antigen positive [anti-HBc+]) receiving anti-cancer therapy for solid tumors.

II. To compare the effect of upon indication anti-HBV therapy versus usual care on time-to-adverse liver outcomes of liver failure or liver-related death in patients with past HBV infection (hepatitis B surface antigen negative [HBsAg-] and anti-HBc+) receiving anti-cancer therapy for solid tumors.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Using time-to-event analysis, to compare the effect of anti-HBV therapy versus upon indication anti-HBV therapy on HBV reactivation, on the combined endpoint of adverse liver outcomes (liver failure or liver-related death) and HBV reactivation, and on HBV flare by arm in patients with chronic HBV infection receiving anti-cancer therapy for solid tumors.

II. Using time-to-event analysis, to compare the effect of upon indication anti-HBV therapy versus usual care on HBV reactivation, on the combined endpoint of adverse liver outcomes (liver failure or liver-related death) and HBV reactivation, and on HBV flare by arm in patients with past HBV infection receiving anti-cancer therapy for solid tumors.

TRANSLATIONAL OBJECTIVES:

I. To compare baseline and changes in overall immune status and HBV-specific immune response in patients with solid tumors and chronic or past HBV infection receiving anti-cancer therapy, and to compare the differences in these immune responses by HBV reactivation status.

II. To identify demographic and clinical predictors and correlative immunologic biomarkers of HBV reactivation after receipt of anti-cancer therapy in patients with solid tumors and chronic or past HBV infection.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 groups.

GROUP A (Cohorts 1a & 2a): Patients receive tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) orally (PO) once daily (QD) or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) PO QD or entecavir PO QD immediately or within 42 days after initial dose of chemotherapy. Treatment continues for up to 6 months after the last dose of chemotherapy or a maximum of 24 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

GROUP B (Cohorts 1b & 2b): Patients receive TAF PO QD or TDF PO QD or entecavir PO QD after HBV reactivation during chemotherapy. Treatment continues for up to 6 months after the last dose of chemotherapy or a maximum of 24 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

GROUP C (Cohort 3): Patients receive TAF PO QD or TDF PO QD or entecavir PO QD at the discretion of the physician during usual care. Treatment continues for up to 6 months after discontinuation of usual care or a maximum of 24 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 4 weeks for up to 24 months.

Eligibility

 Yes No Not Sure

Inclusion Criteria

Patients must be diagnosed with stage I-III solid tumor malignancy; patients with only carcinoma in situ or with stage IV disease are excluded
Patients must not have been diagnosed with a malignancy other than the current malignancy within the past five years, with the exception of basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, or non-invasive (in situ) malignancies of the cervix, breast, or skin
Patients must not have lymphoma, leukemia, or myeloma
Patients must not have primary liver cancer, known cirrhosis, or evidence of any malignancy that involves the liver
Patients must be planning to receive systemic anti-cancer therapy (either single agent or some combination of systemic cytotoxic therapy, systemic immunotherapy or systemic targeted therapy) for this solid tumor
Patients must not have been previously treated with the same anti-cancer therapy regimen that is now anticipated; the anti-cancer therapy does not have to be first-line therapy; prior and/or concurrent radiotherapy is allowed
Patients must be registered =< 28 days prior to the planned start date of anti-cancer therapy; if the patient has started systemic anti-cancer therapy, patient must be registered =< 42 days after the initiation of first cycle of anti-cancer therapy
Patients who have received prior anti-cancer therapy must have discontinued all previous therapies (excluding planned anti-cancer therapy to occur in conjunction with this study) >= 1 day prior to registration to this study
Patients must not have had any cancer therapy regimen that includes anti-CD20
Patients must not be receiving antiviral medications active against HBV, including: adefovir, entecavir, lamivudine, telbivudine, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), or any other Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved agents for the treatment of hepatitis B; patients who have previously received antiviral medication must not have required any antiviral medication active against HBV >= 90 days prior to registration to this study
Patients must not have had hematopoietic stem cell transplantation therapy
Patients receiving any of the following medications must discontinue them (under the supervision of their treating physician) prior to registration, and must not be planning to take them during protocol therapy: acyclovir, aminoglycosides, oxcarbazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, rifabutin, rifampin, rifapentine, valacyclovir, high-dose nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), ("high-dose" based on package insert), and St. John's wort
Patients must have results for the following HBV tests done within 28 days prior to registration: HBsAg AND anti-HBc (total immunoglobulin [Ig] or IgG, but not IgM only) AND hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs); for the anti-HBs test, quantitative or qualitative (including "indeterminate") results are allowable
Patients must have tested positive for HBsAg or anti-HBc (total Ig, IgG, but not IgM) and must have baseline HBV deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) completed =< 42 days prior to registration
Complete blood count (CBC) must be completed =< 28 days prior to registration; results do not need to be in the institutional limits of normal
International normalized ratio (INR) must be completed =< 28 days prior to registration; results must < 1.2 x institutional limits of normal
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) must be obtained =< 28 days prior to registration; ALT must be =< 1.5 x institutional ULN
