Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) [From enrollment until the time of disease progression, assessed for a maximum of 24 months]

    Progression free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the initiation of treatment (C1D1) to the time when the criteria for disease progression is met as defined by RECIST v1.1 OR death due to any cause. The PFS is subject to right censoring due to loss to follow-up or at the end of study duration.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Time to disease progression [From enrollment until the time of disease progression,assessed for a maximum of 24 months]

    Time to disease progression: Will be measured from C1D1 of treatment until the criteria for disease progression is met as defined by RECIST 1.1

  2. Time to CNS Progression [From enrollment until the time of cns progression, assessed for a maximum of 24 months]

    Time to CNS progression: Will be measured from C1D1 of treatment until the criteria for disease progression is met in the CNS (intracranial) by RECIST 1.1 criteria. Patients with CNS -only progression or those with concurrent CNS and systemic progression will be included in this analysis.

  3. Time to Systemic Progression [From enrollment until the time of systemic progression, assessed for a maximum of 24 months]

    Time to Systemic progression: : Will be measured from C1D1 of treatment until the criteria for systemic disease (extracranial) progression is met by RECIST 1.1. Patients with systemic-only or those with concurrent CNS and systemic progression will be included in this analysis.

  4. Progression free survival for maintenance therapy [From Cycle 5, Day 1 of maintenance therapy until disease progression, assessed for a maximum of 19 months]

    Progression free survival for maintenance therapy: Will be measured from C5D1 of first maintenance therapy until the criteria for disease progression is met as defined by RECIST 1.1

  5. Objective response rate (ORR) [24 months]

    Objective response rate (ORR): Will include complete response (CR) + partial response (PR) and will be determined as per RECIST1.1

  6. Duration of Response [24 months]

    Duration of Response: The period measured from the time that measurement criteria are met for complete or partial response (whichever status is recorded first) until the date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented (taking as reference for progressive disease the smallest measurements recorded since treatment started).

  7. Disease Control Rate [8 weeks from Cycle 1 Day 1]

    Disease control rate: The disease control rate is the proportion of all subjects with stable disease (SD) for 8 weeks, or partial response (PR), or complete response (CR) according to RECIST v1.1, from the start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence (taking as reference for progressive disease the smallest measurements recorded since the start of treatment).

  8. Overall Survival (OS) [24 months]

    Overall survival: Will be measured from D1 to death from any cause

  9. Toxicity Profile [24 months]

    Describe the toxicity profile of durvalumab and ceralasertib combination therapy by the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) v5.

  • Prior treatment must be completed within the following number of days prior to registration:

--Palliative radiation: for painful bony lesion must be completed prior to registration and recovered from significant bone marrow toxicity. For patients who received WBRT, 14 days washout is required prior to study therapy. Patient's must be off steroids without worsening of symptoms related to brain metastases.

  • Participants may not be receiving any medications or substances that are potent inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 (Appendix B of the protocol).

  • There is a required wash-out period of 5 half-lives from such agents prior to starting ceralasertib, or three weeks for St. John's Wort.

  • For non-potent inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4, the decision to allow a patient to enroll on the study is per investigator best judgement. Note these include common azole antifungals, macrolide antibiotics, and other medications listed in the concomitant medications section. As part of the enrollment/informed consent procedures, the patient will be counseled on the risk of interactions with other agents, and what to do if new medications need to be prescribed or if the patient is considering a new over-the-counter medicine or herbal product.

  • Exposure of other drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 and/or CYP2B6 may be reduced and additional monitoring may be required.

  • The use of herbal supplements or 'folk remedies' (and medications and foods that significantly modulate CYP3A activity) should be discouraged. If deemed necessary, such products may be administered with caution and the reason for use documented in the CRF.
