Study Summary

In the present TACTIC clinical trial, the investigators propose to determine the clinical interest and immunological efficacy of a treatment combining MP0317 the FAP (Fibroblast Activation Protein)-dependent CD40 agonist, with anti-PD-L1(Programmed Death-Ligand 1) therapy (durvalumab) and gemcitabine-cisplatin-based chemotherapy in unresectable cholangiocarcinoma.

The main objective is to assess the 12-month progression free survival (PFS) rate in the experimental arm. The trial proposed is a non-comparative proof of concept randomized two-stage phase II. The control arm will serve to verify the good calibration of the null hypothesis made in the experimental arm and to provide "true" controls for translational investigations. A semi-continuous monitoring of toxicity is planned in the experimental arm during the first stage of the study to warrant the tolerability of the experimental treatment and then to guarantee the security of the patients.

75 patients (50 in the experimental arm) will be included. The investigators will also decipher, as a translational objective, the molecular and immunological parameters determining the clinical outcomes.

Male patients with a female partner of childbearing potential should be willingto use barrier contraception during the study and at least: 4 months after theend of the treatment with cisplatin and 3 months after the end of the treatmentwith gemcitabine. Patients should refrain from donating sperm from the start ofdosing until 4 months after discontinuing study treatment.

  14. Documented virology status of hepatitis, as confirmed by screening HBV and HCVtests:

  15. For patients with active HBV: HBV DNA <500 IU/ml (International unit)duringscreening, initiation of anti-HBV treatment at least 14 days prior torandomization and willingness to continue anti-HBV treatment during the study (per local standard of care; e.g., entecavir)

  17. Patient affiliated to or beneficiary of French social security system

  18. Ability to comply with the study protocol, in the Investigator's judgment.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

For patients whose tumors present a genetic alteration of IDH1, FGFR2 or BRAF as well as an amplification of HER2, the investigators of the TACTIC study recommend, if possible, the orientation for preferential inclusion in the SAFIR ABC10 study".
