DRP-104 (Glutamine Antagonist) in Combination With Durvalumab in Patients With Advanced Stage Fibrolamellar Carcinoma (FLC)
What this study is about
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of injected under the skin DRP-104 in combination with given through a vein (IV) Durvalumab is safe and yields a clinically compelling antitumor activity measured as based on percentage of patients whose tumors shrank (ORR, assessed by RECIST 1.1).
View original scientific description
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of subcutaneous DRP-104 in combination with intravenous Durvalumab is safe and yields a clinically compelling antitumor activity measured as based on objective response rate (ORR, assessed by RECIST 1.1). Secondary objectives include progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
Interventions
DRUG
Durvalumab
Patients will receive treatment on Day 1 of each cycle. Durvalumab (1500 mg) will be administered IV on Day 1 of each cycle every 28 days.
DRUG
DRP-104
Patients will receive treatment twice a week of each cycle. DRP-104 (145 mg,125mg, 105mg, 85mg or 65mg) will be administered subcutaneous injection twice a week of each 28 day cycle. After the first cycle of treatment the study drug may be shipped to the patient's home for future cycles of administration if patients or caregiver can demonstrate at least two observed independent injections of DRP-104 prior to home administration.
Primary outcome measures
Number of participants experiencing drug-related adverse events (AEs) requiring treatment discontinuation
Time frame: 4 years
When calculating the incidence of AEs, each AE (as defined by NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events \[CTCAE\] v5.0) will be counted only once for a given subject.
Objective response rate (ORR) using immune Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1)
Time frame: 4 years
ORR is defined as the percentage of patients achieving a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) to DRP-104 (glutamine antagonist) in combination with duvalumab, based on the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) at any time during the study. 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.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
