About this trial
This is a phase 2 study of gemcitabine, cisplatin, zimberelimab (AB122) and quemliclustat (AB680) in subjects with untreated advanced biliary tract cancers (BTC). The study will include a safety run-in involving 6 study participants. The goal of the safety run-in is to screen for early safety signals of the proposed drug combination. Trial enrollment can continue while full safety assessment is being completed for the first 6 subjects.
Participants will receive 4 cycles of combination therapy as described. After 4 cycles (\~6 months), cisplatin will be discontinued, while gemcitabine, zimberelimab (AB122), and quemliclustat (AB680) will be continued. Subjects will be treated until disease progression or development of intolerable toxicities. In total, there will be up to 39 participants on the study.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Patients with cytologically or histologically confirmed BTC by AJCC version 8.
Patients must have late stage (locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic) BTC. Patients must not have received systemic treatment for advanced disease. Prior adjuvant therapy is allowed as long as recurrences occurred 6 months or later from all treatment completion.
Written informed consent and HIPAA authorization for release of personal health information. NOTE: HIPAA authorization may be included in the informed consent or obtained separately.
Age ≥ 18 years at the time of consent.
Disqualifiers
Prior therapy with gemcitabine, cisplatin, or any immune checkpoint inhibitors for the treatment of BTC.
Known hypersensitivity to recombinant proteins, or any excipient contained in treatment medication formulations.
Active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (i.e., with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a form of systemic treatment.
History of solid organ or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
