Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

In this clinical study, we will evaluate the efficacy and safety of cardonilimumab (PD1 monoclonal antibody and CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody bisspecific antibodies) and LM-302 (Claudin18.2-ADC) in Claudin18.2-positive advanced BTC patients who have progressed after SOC and PD1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibody treatment.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 1/Phase 2

Detailed Description

The prognosis for unresectable and metastatic biliary malignancies (BTC) is extremely poor, with a median overall survival of only about 1 year for advanced biliary tumors treated with gemcitabine and cisplatin or combined with duvaliumab (PD-L1) as recommended by NCCN guidelines. At present, the NCCN guidelines recommend that the posterior line treatment of advanced BTC, such as FOLFOX, has a very limited effect, with an objective response rate of only about 5% and a median survival time of only about 6 months. There is an urgent need to develop new therapeutic methods to improve patient survival. Chronic inflammation caused by viral infection and bile duct stones are the most common potential risk factors for BTC, and immune system abnormalities play a key role in the occurrence and development of BTC. BTC, including intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA), showed abnormal expression of immune checkpoint molecules PD-L1 and CTLA-4 and obvious heterogeneity. Therefore, immunotherapy is of great value. TOPAZ-1 and KENOTE-966 studies both showed the value of PD-L1/PD1 monoclonal antibody in the treatment of advanced BTC. There is currently a lack of treatment options for progression after treatment with standard chemotherapy (SOC) combined with PD-L1/PD1 monoclonal antibodies. CTLA-4 inhibitors combined with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors have shown significantly enhanced clinical effects. Clinical studies on treating CTLA-4 inhibitors combined with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors have been carried out in several solid tumors. Although significant therapeutic effects have been achieved, adverse reactions (AEs) that cannot be ignored limit the benefit of patients. Claudin18.2 is a newly discovered tumor therapeutic target. Multiple clinical studies have shown that Claudin18.2 monoclonal antibody, Claudin18.2-ADC, and Cart-Claudin18.2 have good ORR in Claudin18.2-positive gastric cancer. At present, no independent research data on advanced BTC has been reported.

In this clinical study, we will evaluate the efficacy and safety of cardonilimumab (PD1 monoclonal antibody and CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody bispecific antibodies) and LM-302 (Claudin18.2-ADC) in Claudin18.2-positive advanced BTC patients who have progressed after SOC and PD1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibody treatment.

    12. Participants with a prior history or persistent hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection will be eligible to participate in the study. Participants receiving antiviral therapy must complete treatment at least 1 month before the start of the study intervention. For HCV subjects who have not received or have not completed antiviral therapy, treatment should be initiated only after liver function has remained stable for at least 3 months during the study intervention.

    13. Hepatitis B controlled subjects are eligible to participate in the study as long as they meet the following criteria:

    Subjects with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (defined as hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] positive and/or detectable HBV DNA) must have a HBV viral load of less than 2000 IU/ml prior to first dosing of the study intervention or a 10-fold reduction in HBV viral load with antiviral therapy. Subjects treated with active HBV with a viral load below 2000 IU/ml should receive antiviral therapy throughout the study intervention.

    1. Subjects who are clinically cured of HBV infection (defined as HBsAg negative and anti-HBC positive) and whose HBV viral load is not detectable at screening should have their HBV viral load checked every 8 weeks and should be treated for HBV if the viral load exceeds 2000 IU/ml. Antiviral therapy after completion of the study intervention should follow local guidelines.
