A Study With NKT3964 for Adults With Advanced/Metastatic Solid Tumors

The goal of the Monotherapy Dose Escalation phase (Part 1) of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and preliminary anti-tumor activity to determine the preliminary recommended dose for expansion (RDE) of NKT3964 in adults with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The goal of the Monotherapy Expansion phase of the study (Part 2) is to evaluate the preliminary anti-tumor activity of NKT3964 at the RDE based on objective response rate (ORR) and determine the preliminary recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). The goal of the Combination Dose Escalation phase (Part 3) of the study is to identify the RDE of NKT3964 in combination with chemotherapy in adult subjects with advanced/metastatic endometrial cancer. The goal of the Combination Expansion phase of the study (Part 4) is to evaluate the preliminary anti-tumor activity of NKT3964 in combination with chemotherapy at the RDE based on ORR.

Testing the Combination of Two Anti-cancer Drugs, DS-8201a and AZD6738, for The Treatment of Advanced Solid Tumors Expressing the HER2 Protein or Gene, The DASH Trial

The dose escalation phase of this trial identifies the safety, side effects and best dose of ceralasertib (AZD6738) when given in combination with trastuzumab deruxtecan (DS-8201a) in treating patients with solid tumors that have a change (mutation) in the HER2 gene or protein and have spread to other places in the body (advanced). The dose expansion phase (phase Ib) of this trial compares how colorectal and gastroesophageal cancers with HER2 mutation respond to treatment with a combination of ceralasertib and trastuzumab deruxtecan versus trastuzumab deruxtecan alone. Ceralasertib may stop the growth of tumor cells and may kill them by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Trastuzumab deruxtecan is a monoclonal antibody, called trastuzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called deruxtecan. Trastuzumab attaches to HER2 positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers deruxtecan to kill them. Ceralasertib and trastuzumab deruxtecan may be safe, tolerable and effective in treating patients with advanced solid tumors expressing the HER2 protein or gene.

Testing the Addition of an Anticancer Drug, BAY 1895344, to the Usual Chemotherapy With FOLFIRI in Advanced or Metastatic Cancers of the Stomach and Intestines

This phase I trial investigates the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of BAY 1895344 in combination with FOLFIRI in treating patients with stomach or intestinal cancer that that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). BAY 1895344 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as irinotecan, fluorouracil, and leucovorin, (called FOLFIRI in short) work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving BAY 1895344 in combination with FOLFIRI may help shrink advanced or metastatic stomach and/or intestinal cancer.

Testing the Addition of an Anti-cancer Drug, BAY 1895344, to the Usual Chemotherapy Treatment (Cisplatin, or Cisplatin and Gemcitabine) for Advanced Solid Tumors With Emphasis on Urothelial Cancer

This phase I trial identifies the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of BAY 1895344 in combination with chemotherapy in treating patients with solid tumors or urothelial cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). BAY 1895344 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Cisplatin and gemcitabine are chemotherapy drugs that stop the growth of tumor cells by killing the cells. Combining BAY 1895344 with chemotherapy treatment (cisplatin, or cisplatin and gemcitabine) may be effective for the treatment of advanced solid tumors, including urothelial cancer.

Personalized Targeted IMMUNOtherapy-based Regimens in Recurrent GASTric Adenocarcinoma (IMMUNOGAST)

For patients with advanced/metastatic gastric adenocarcinomas in progression after a first line chemotherapy comprising platinum and fluoropyrimidine, the reported second line treatments are : 1) paclitaxel combined with ramucirumab (overall response rate (ORR) = 25%; median progression free survival (PFS) = 2.9 months; median overall survival (OS)= 5.9 months), or paclitaxel alone (ORR = 14%, median PFS = 2.9 months; median OS= 5.9 months); 2) docetaxel (ORR = 7%, median OS = 5.2 months) or 3) irinotecan (ORR = 0%, median OS= 4.0 months). These numbers demonstrate the poor prognosis of this disease, and the unmet medical need for innovative therapeutic strategies. Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) mapped a genomic landscape of gastric adenocarcinomas, and identified 4 sub-types: * Tumor positive for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) (8%), which display recurrent PIK3CA mutations, extreme DNA hypermethylation, and amplification of JAK2, ErbB2, PD-L1 and PD-L2; * Microsatellite instable tumors (MSI-high) (22%), which show elevated mutation rates, including mutations of genes encoding targetable oncogenic signaling proteins (PIK3CA, ErbB2, ErbB3, and EGFR); * Genomically stable tumors (20%), which are enriched for the diffuse histological variant and mutations of RHOA or fusions involving RHO-family GTPase-activating proteins; * Tumors with chromosomal instability (50%), which show marked aneuploidy and focal amplification of receptor tyrosine kinases and VEGFA. Most of diffuse-type gastric adenocarcinomas were classified in genomically stable tumors. This subgroup of cancers, accounting for about 20 to 30% of gastric adenocarcinomas, is associated with particularly poor prognosis and resistance to chemotherapy. A proteomic landscape of diffuse-type gastric adenocarcinomas was recently reported. Pembrolizumab, an anti-PDL1 drug granted with an accelerated approval by FDA in September 2017, exhibited promising activity in gastric adenocarcinoma patients previously treated with 1 or 2 lines of chemotherapy (ORR=11.6%, median PFS = 2.0 months, median OS= 5.6 months), especially in those with PDL1 positive tumors (ORR=22.7%). The tumor response was particularly high in patients with MSI-high tumor (ORR=57.1%). However the preliminary outcomes of the phase III KEYNOTE-061 trial (NCT02370498) recently released in the press suggest that pembrolizumab was not superior to paclitaxel in 592 patients with advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma whose disease progressed after first-line treatment with platinum and fluoropyrimidine doublet therapy (the hazard ratio (HR) for OS was 0.82 (95% confidence interval = 0.66-1.03; one sided P = .042) (http://www.ascopost.com/News/58377). These outcomes suggest that, although being very promising, immunotherapy should be combined to other agents for being fully effective in gastric adenocarcinomas patients. We propose a strategy based on molecular features to select the drugs that will be associated with atezolizumab, an anti-PDL1 drug, in patients with pre-treated advanced gastric adenocarcinomas: * Patients with tumors positive for EBV or microsatellite instable tumors (30%) will be treated with atezolizumab and ipatasertib. * Patients with genomically stable tumors (20%) will be treated with atezolizumab combined with bevacizumab. * Patients with tumors with chromosomal instability (50%) will be treated with atezolizumab combined with bevacizumab. Expected outcomes: IMMUNOGAST trial will provide data about the clinical feasibility of biomolecular characterization of gastric adenocarcinomas for routine treatment adjustment. Moreover it should generate information about the relevance of adjusting combined immunotherapies based on molecular subtypes, in terms of clinical efficacy. Finally, translational research project outcomes should provide important data about relationships between efficacy and tumor immune gene spatial expression, along with tumor and circulating mutational burden. These outcomes may help identify the best candidates for tested combinations in the future.

At-Home Cancer Directed Therapy Versus in Clinic for the Treatment of Patients With Advanced Cancer

This clinical trial studies the effect of cancer directed therapy given at-home versus in the clinic for patients with cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Currently most drug-related cancer care is conducted in infusion centers or specialty hospitals, where patients spend many hours a day isolated from family, friends, and familiar surroundings. This separation adds to the physical, emotional, social, and financial burden for patients and their families. The logistics and costs of navigating cancer treatments have become a principal contributor to patients' reduced quality of life. It is therefore important to reduce the burden of cancer in the lives of patients and their caregivers, and a vital aspect of this involves moving beyond traditional hospital and clinic-based care and evaluate innovative care delivery models with virtual capabilities. Providing cancer treatment at-home, versus in the clinic, may help reduce psychological and financial distress and increase treatment compliance, especially for marginalized patients and communities.

Multi-omics Based Prediction of Treatment Response to Immunotherapy Combined with Chemotherapy in Advanced Gastric/Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer.

In this project, based on the information of advanced gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer in evolution under immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy treatment, we will integrate multi-omics dynamic data to identify essential features that correlate to therapeutic effects of immunotherapy therapy, screen potential molecular markers/dominant microbiota for predicting the efficacy of immunotherapy and establish a multimodal predictive model for patients that benefit from immunotherapy. Our project could provide evidence to predict response to immunotherapy for patients with advanced gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer and potentially optimize the clinical decision-making about therapy for advanced gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer.

Treatment of Advanced Malignant Solid Tumors With Claudin18.2CAR-T

The efficacy of advanced pancreatic cancer and gastric cancer needs to be further improved. Claudin is a kind of integrin membrane protein in the tight junction between epithelium and endothelium, which is highly expressed in gastric cancer and pancreatic cancer. Preclinical studies suggest that Claudin18.2CAR-T can effectively improve the remission rate of patients with advanced solid tumors.

Study Evaluating Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy Increasing CD8+ Cell Infiltration in Advance Gastric Adenocarcinoma

Focusing on the clinical question of whether patients with advanced gastric cancer can benefit from immunotherapy, this project intends to detect the degree of CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte infiltration in patients with advanced gastric cancer before and after receiving neoadjuvant combined immunotherapy and neoadjuvant therapy alone. To explore the evolving nature of tumor immune response before and after neoadjuvant therapy for gastric cancer, and quantitatively present it through chemical immunohistochemical techniques to achieve a more accurate diagnosis and treatment and improve the long-term efficacy of patients.
