An Open-Label, Multi-Centre, Study to Assess the Safety of Fixed-Dose Durvalumab + Tremelimumab Combination Therapy or Durvalumab Monotherapy in Advanced Solid Malignancies.

An Open-Label, Multi-Centre, Safety Study of Fixed-Dose Durvalumab + Tremelimumab Combination Therapy or Durvalumab Monotherapy in Advanced Solid Malignancies.

To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of the combination of durvalumab + tremelimumab or durvalumab alone in different solid tumors.

This is an open-label, multi-center, study to determine the short and long term safety of fixed doses of durvalumab 1500 mg + tremelimumab 75 mg combination therapy or durvalumab 1500 mg monotherapy in patients with advanced solid malignancies. This study is modular in design, one or more of the modules will be opened in a given country / region based on local patient population prevalence, and results of feasibility studies. The total number of patients to be enrolled overall and in each module will depend on the types and number of tumor modules added to the main study and country-specific ancillary studies. The number of patients and sites to be involved in individual countries will be dependent on each module or ancillary study. This study consisted of a screening period, a treatment period, a 90 day safety follow-up period and a survival follow-up period. Patients will receive the investigation product (IP) via intravenous (IV) infusion once every 4 weeks (Q4W) in combination therapy or monotherapy as mentioned below - Combination therapy: Durvalumab 1,500 mg + tremelimumab 75 mg on Week 0, for up to a maximum of 4 doses (or cycles) followed by durvalumab 1,500 mg starting 4 weeks after the last infusion of the combination or discontinuation of tremelimumab.

Monotherapy: Durvalumab 1,500 mg on week 0.

Patients will attend a safety follow-up visit 90 days after study treatment discontinuation. Thereafter, patients will be contacted by phone or electronic communication every 3 months for survival status up to 5 years following date of first patient treatment initiation. All patients will be followed for a minimum of 6 months following enrolment of last patient. It is anticipated that the total enrolment period for the overall study will be approximately 2 to 3 years, with an overall duration of approximately 5 years

Inclusion criteria:

10. Evidence of post-menopausal status or negative urinary or serum pregnancy test (per Section 4) for female pre-menopausal patients. Women will be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. The following age-specific requirements apply:

11. Women <50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments and if they have luteinizing hormone and follicle- stimulating hormone levels in the post-menopausal range for the institution or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy).

Women ≥50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments, had radiation-induced menopause with last menses >1 year ago, had chemotherapy-induced menopause with last menses >1 year ago, or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy or hysterectomy).

Non sterilized male patients who are sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential must use a male condom plus spermicide from screening through 180 days after receipt of the final dose of durvalumab + tremelimumab combination therapy or 90 days after receipt of the final dose of durvalumab monotherapy.
