CURATE.AI - a small data, AI-derived technology platform - allows personalised guidance of an individual's dose modulations based only on that individual's data. Additionally, CURATE.AI is mechanism-independent, and dynamically adapts to changes experienced by the subject, providing dynamic dose optimisation throughout the duration of the subject's treatment. This study aims to demonstrate the feasibility of applying CURATE.AI in standard of care settings for treatment of solid tumours with Nivolumab. An additional objective is to explore sequential ctDNA measurements as a response marker collected at a higher frequency of probing, with modulated doses.
The first stage of the trial aims to identify patients who are responsive to the given treatment, determined from both SOC - radiology via criteria such as RECIST/immune-related RECIST (irRECIST) as well as the intended response marker for CURATE.AI. These patients will then proceed with the second stage of the trial.
The second stage of the trial aims to obtain a personalised CURATE.AI profile for each participant, based on their phenotypic response to a set of drug doses. The doses will be recommended by the CURATE.AI team, when relevant to the clinical decision-making process. For participants who started on the selected therapy prior to their engagement with the study, the previously recorded data, limited to: administered doses, corresponding phenotypic responses and treatment-related toxicities (optional) may be included in the CURATE.AI process. Once an actionable profile is obtained, dose recommendations are based on the profile and aimed to treat the participant.
Since there are no prior clinical trials using CURATE.AI in participant treated with combinational or single-agent immunotherapy with drugs such as nivolumab or pembrolizumab, this trial will comprise of participants diagnosed with the main tumour types: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), gastric cancer (GC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), or other eligible tumours undergoing or planned for palliative-intent immune-oncology combinational or single-agent therapy with nivolumab/ pembrolizumab.
Nivolumab and Pembrolizumab are an immune checkpoint inhibitors and a novel therapeutic treatment modalities recently approved by the FDA and are becoming the standard of care treatment for a range of oncological indications, including NSCLC, GC, HCC and NPC. However, they are associated with significant semi-annual costs - approximately $140,000 per patient in the United States. In light of the evidence supporting dose personalization and dose reduction in immune-oncology treatments, patients may stand to benefit from CURATE.AI's personalized dose optimisation in maximizing clinical outcomes at reduced costs. Together with the increasing adoption of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) as an effective response marker for tumour burden in NSCLC, GC, HCC and NPC, CURATE.AI is ideally suited for pairing these findings with healthcare economics research towards the development of novel healthcare workflows integrating AI and serial measurements of ctDNA response to sustain the scalable implementation of N-of-1 dosing optimisation in cancer treatments.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| CURATE.AI | Experimental | Participants will undergo two treatment periods: selection period and CURATE.AI modulation period. During the selection period, baseline ctDNA measurements and CT scans will be performed. Subsequently, participants will receive Standard of Care (SOC) doses of nivolumab/pembrolizumab and have their ctDNA measured at the end of the third cycle together with other SOC monitoring. After the first ctDNA measurement and CT scan, selected patients who responded to treatment through both ctDNA and CT scan may continue into the CURATE.AI modulation period. Non-responders will receive SOC doses of nivolumab/pembrolizumab for 2 cycles before having their ctDNA measured and CT scan at the end of the 2 cycles. Subsequent responders through both ctDNA and CT scans may then continue into the CURATE.AI modulation period. Only the dose of nivolumab/pembrolizumab will be modulated with CURATE.AI, based on measurements of the response marker (ctDNA). |

| CURATE.AI | Device | Efficacy and toxicity measurements at the end of each two-/three- week dosing cycle, together with an information on given drugs and their doses, and other patient data, will be used by CURATE.AI to recommend the dose of nivolumab/pembrolizumab for the next cycle. The clinical investigators will decide whether or not to administer or prescribe the dose recommendation from CURATE.AI. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of participants in whom we successfully apply CURATE.AI profile. | CURATE.AI applicability: Percentage of participants in whom we successfully apply CURATE.AI profile. Based on percentages, outcomes will be classified as Green (>70%) / Yellow (10-70%) / Red (<10%). A decision on whether we "successfully apply" the CURATE.AI profile requires expert judgement and cannot be made based on a purely numerical process. The expert panel will consider the following factors with careful regard for the individual circumstances of each participant: Error/variance (biological/analytical) is sufficiently small to allow accurate predictions Profile can be generated sufficiently early for the participant to potentially benefit; Dose-dependent relationship is observed; Profile is actionable (i.e. fulfils the clinical investigator's pre-specified safety requirements); Systemic changes in the participant which require profile recalibration are rare or readily assimilated into the CURATE.AI algorithm | up to 12 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Patient adherence | Percentage of participants who always adhered to the prescribed dose whenever they took their medication, as measured by the standardised pharmacovigilance protocol. Based on percentages, outcomes will be classified as Green (>90%) / Yellow (10-90%) / Red (<10%). | Up to 12 months |
| Timely delivery of CURATE.AI recommendations to the clinician |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of trial participants with clinical progressive disease | CT scans for radiological assessment will be performed according to standard of care, usually after every 2 to 3 cycles of chemotherapy Percentage of trial participants with clinical progressive disease(which is defined as the clinical investigator deeming that the patient will not benefit any further from the chemotherapy regimen and considering stopping it) at the time of the first radiological assessment performed as per standard-of-care. |
Inclusion Criteria:
Males and females ≥ 21 years of age
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 to 2.

| Nivolumab, Pembrolizumab | Drug | Treatment with the selected regimen will take up to a maximum duration of 12 months, in two-/three- week cycles. CURATE.AI dose recommendations will be generated before each chemotherapy cycle; fixed throughout the cycle; Maximum total cumulative dose per cycle of nNivolumab/pembrolizumab in the predetermined safety range is set at 100% of standard starting dose (i.e. , 240 mg/m2 once every 2 weeks for single agent Nivolumab and 200 mg/m2 once every 3 weeks for single agent Pembrolizumab). Minimum total cumulative dose per cycle of nivolumab/pembrolizumab in the predetermined safety range is set at 30% of the standard starting dose (i.e. 8072 mg/m2 once every 2 weeks for single agent Nivolumab and 60 mg/m2 once every 3 weeks for single agent Pembrolizumab). Subject-specific dosing range may alter those numbers to suit the specific circumstances of the subject, thus giving the subject specific safe dosing range. |
