Treatment and study plan

Oxaliplatin

Drug

65mg/m2 will be administered as a 120 minute IV Infusion (-10/+ 20 minutes) on day 1 of each cycle every 2 weeks. Each cycle length is 14 days. The two arms will enroll sequentially (starting with Arm 1 followed by Arm 2).

Irinotecan

Drug

150 mg/m2 will be administered as a 90 minute IV Infusion (-10/+ 20 minutes) on day 1 of each cycle every 2 weeks. Each cycle length is 14 days. The two arms will enroll sequentially (starting with Arm 1 followed by Arm 2).

Folinic acid

Drug

50 mg will be administered as a 15 minute IV infusion (-5/+20 min) on day 1 of each cycle every 2 weeks. Each cycle length is 14 days. Folinic acid can be given concurrent with irinotecan. The two arms will enroll sequentially (starting with Arm 1 followed by Arm 2).

5-fluorouracil (5-FU)

Drug

2400 mgm2 will be administered as a continuous IV Infusion (-120/+ 120 minutes) over approximately 46 hours on day 1 of each cycle every 2 weeks. Each cycle length is 14 days. The two arms will enroll sequentially (starting with Arm 1 followed by Arm 2).

NC410

Drug

100 mg will be administered as a 60 minute IV Infusion (-10/+ 20 minutes) on day 1 of each cycle every 2 weeks. Each cycle length is 14 days. The two arms will enroll sequentially (starting with Arm 1 followed by Arm 2).

Other names: NextCure LAIR-2 fusion protein

Nivolumab

Drug

400 mg will be administered as a 30 minute IV Infusion (-5/+20 minutes) once on Cycle 1 Day 1. Each cycle length is 14 days. The two arms will enroll sequentially (starting with Arm 1 followed by Arm 2).

Other names: OPDIVO

Ipilimumab

Drug

50 mg will be administered as a 30 minute IV Infusion (-5/+20 minutes) once on Cycle 1 Day 1. Each cycle length is 14 days. The two arms will enroll sequentially (starting with Arm 1 followed by Arm 2).

Other names: YERVOY

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of participants experiencing unexpected toxicities. Unexpected toxicities are toxicities related to the study drug required treatment discontinuation.

    Time frame: 4 years

    When calculating the incidence of Adverse Events (AEs), each AE (as defined by NCI CTCAE v5.0) will be counted only once for a given subject.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Progression- Free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: 4 years

    PFS is defined as the number of months from the date of first dose to disease progression (PD as assessed using RECIST 1.1 criteria) or death due to any cause. PFS will be censored at the date of the last scan for subjects without documentation of disease progression at the time of analysis. PFS will be censored at time of first dose for patients that do not have a follow-up scan. Per RECIST 1.1 criteria, CR = disappearance of all target lesions, Partial Response (PR) is =>30percent decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, Progressive Disease (PD) is >20percent increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, Stable Disease (SD) is <30percent decrease or <20percent increase in sum of diameters of target lesions. Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.

  2. Response Rate (ORR)

    Time frame: 4 years

    ORR is defined as the number of subjects with PR or CR according to RECIST 1.1. Subjects who discontinue due to toxicity or clinical progression prior to post-baseline tumor assessments will be considered as non-responders. CR = disappearance of all target lesions, PR is =>30percent decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, progressive disease (PD) is >20percent increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, stable disease (SD) is <30percent decrease or <20percent increase in sum of diameters of target lesions.

  3. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    Time frame: 4 years

    DCR is defined as the number of subjects achieving stable disease or better (SD, PR or CR) according to RECIST 1.1. Per RECIST 1.1 criteria, CR = disappearance of all target lesions, Partial Response (PR) is =>30percent decrease in sum of diameters of target lesion, Stable Disease (SD) is <30percent decrease or <20percent increase in sum of diameters of target lesions.

  4. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time frame: 4 years

    OS is defined as the number of months from the date of first dose until death or end of follow-up (OS will be censored on the date the subject was last known to be alive for subjects without documentation of death at the time of analysis). Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.
