Trabectedin Combined With Durvalumab in Patients With Advanced Pretreated Soft-tissue Sarcomas and Ovarian Carcinomas.

Trabectedin Combined With Durvalumab (MEDI4736) in Patients With Advanced Pretreated Soft-tissue Sarcomas and Ovarian Carcinomas. A Phase Ib Study.

A phase Ib trial study of trabectedin when prescribed in combination with durvalumab in locally advanced/unresectable soft-tissue sarcoma and ovarian carcinomas.

This is a multicenter, prospective phase Ib trial based on a dose escalation study design (3+3 traditional design) assessing three dose levels of Trabectedin given with durvalumab, followed by two expansion cohorts once the MTD is established.

Inclusion Criteria:

13. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to receiving the first dose of trial medication. Both women and men must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception throughout the treatment period and for six months after discontinuation of treatment.

15. Recovery to grade ≤ 1 from any adverse event (AE) derived from previous treatment (excluding alopecia of any grade and non-painful peripheral neuropathy grade ≤ 2) according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE, version 4.0),

3. Active or prior documented inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis),

4. Has an active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment within the past 2 years (ie, with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs).
