Overview

The main objective of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of the combo Sacituzumab govitecan (SG) + Zimberelimab (AB 122) (ZIM) + Domvanalimab (AB 154) (DOM), measured as pathologic complete response (pCR) rates, in the perioperative setting in patients with Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (MIBC) who are either unfit for platinum-based chemotherapy or unwilling to receive that therapy.

Description

This is an open label, multicenter, single arm, phase II clinical trial, which aims to evaluate the effects of perioperative treatment with sacituzumab govitecan, zimberelimab and domvanalimab in patients with confirmed histological diagnosis of urothelial bladder carcinoma pT2-T4a cN0-1 cM0 non-eligible or who refuse to receive cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Patients who are eligible to participate in the study will receive 3 cycles of sacituzumab govitecan, zimberelimab and domvanalimab every 3 weeks prior to cystectomy, unless there are signs of unacceptable toxicity, progressive disease or the patient requests withdrawal from the study. Patients who do not achieve a pCR or that achieving a pCR still have positive ctDNA will also complete an adjuvant phase of the study consisting of 12 additional cycles of zimberelimab and domvanalimab.

To progressively test the safety of the proposed combination, this study has been developed in two stages with the aim of preserving patient's safety as a priority. This study includes a preliminary assessment about the safety of the combinations. Thus, there will be a safety run-in period in which 8 patients will receive the SG+ZIM combination to confirm the tolerability of this doublet in patients with MIBC.

Once the safety of this doublet has been confirmed by an external safety committee then the study will proceed to an additional safety-run in cohort with the triplet.

  1. Willing and able to provide written informed consent.
  2. Ability to comply with the study procedures and requirements and restrictions in this protocol.
  3. Age ≥ 18 years.

    8. Bilirubin ≤1.5 X ULN.
  10. Adequate coagulation (Prothrombin Time [PT]) or International Normalized Ratio [INR]

  11. Negative pregnancy test within 3 days of Day 1 Cycle 1 for female patients of childbearing potential.
  12. Male patients and female patients of childbearing potential who engage in heterosexual intercourse must agree to use protocol-specified method(s) of contraception.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Concurrent enrollment in another interventional clinical trial, unless in a follow-up period or it is an observational study.
  2. Having received previous anticancer therapy including:
    1. Any investigational anticancer therapy received within 28 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) of first dose of study treatment.
    2. Any previous intravenous chemotherapy specific for bladder cancer.
    3. Previous systemic treatment with topoisomerase 1 inhibitors.
    4. Prior Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Antigen 4 (CTLA-4) or Programmed death-1(PD-1)/ programmed death-ligand 1(PD-L)1-targeting immunotherapy.
    5. Previous treatment with high dose chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant
    6. Previous radiotherapy specific for bladder cancer
  3. Underlying medical conditions that might make the administration of study drugs

    hazardous or that might obscure the interpretation of adverse events including:

    • 3.1 Known or suspected autoimmune disease. Patients with a history of inflammatory bowel disease (including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis) and autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic progressive sclerosis (scleroderma), systemic lupus erythematosus or autoimmune vasculitis (e.g., Wegener's granulomatosis) are excluded from this study; Patients with other autoimmune disorders such as a history of Hashimoto's thyroiditis [only requiring hormone replacement], type I diabetes, psoriasis [not requiring systemic treatment], or conditions not expected to recur in the absence of an external trigger are allowed to participate.
    • 3.2 History of primary immunodeficiency.
    • 3.3 A positive tests for Hepatitis B surface antigen or Hepatitis C ribonucleic acid (RNA), active tuberculosis, or other active infection requiring therapy at the time of inclusion.
     HIV positive patients are allowed as far as they have the disease controlled
     according to their treating physicians based on lymphocyte counts and viral load.
       -  3.4 Medical conditions requiring the use of immunosuppressive medications, with
          the exceptions of intranasal and inhaled corticosteroids or systemic
          corticosteroids at physiological doses not to exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone,
          or an equivalent corticosteroid. Steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity
          reactions (eg, CT scan premedication) will be allowed.

4. Patient receiving treatment with inhibitors or inducers of UGT1A1 at the time of

enrollment.

5. Patient receiving treatment with high dose systemic corticosteroids (>10 mg of
