NCT05333458 | RECRUITING | Advanced Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma

Testing Atezolizumab With Selinexor in People ≥ 12 Years Old With Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma, The AXIOM Trial
Sponsor:

National Cancer Institute (NCI)

Brief Summary:

This phase II trial tests whether atezolizumab in combination with selinexor works to shrink tumors in patients with alveolar soft part sarcoma and whether the study drugs are better than the usual approach in treating this type of cancer. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for alveolar soft part sarcoma if they are not part of a clinical study, which includes treatment with radiation, kinase inhibitor drugs, immunotherapy drugs, or chemotherapy drugs. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Selinexor is in a class of medications called selective inhibitors of nuclear export (SINE). It works by blocking a protein called CRM1, which may help keep cancer cells from growing and may kill them. Giving atezolizumab in combination with selinexor may help shrink tumors and stabilize the cancer in patients with alveolar soft part sarcoma.

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Determine the overall response rate (by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors \[RECIST\] version \[v\]1.1) for selinexor in combination with atezolizumab in patients with alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) whose disease progressed and who have received prior immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: I. Assess the number of activated CD8+ T cells infiltrating the tumor before and after atezolizumab + selinexor combination treatment, and correlate treatment-induced changes with clinical response. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. Compare RECIST v 1.1 versus (vs) immune RECIST (iRECIST) in patients with ASPS on atezolizumab + selinexor. II. Examine changes in PD-1/PD-L1 expression in the tumor microenvironment before and after atezolizumab + selinexor treatment, and correlate treatment-induced changes with clinical response. III. Evaluate potential associations between atezolizumab + selinexor activity and expression of PD-L1 and apoptosis markers (γH2AX, activated caspase 3 and 8) in tumor biopsies. IV. Evaluate potential associations between atezolizumab + selinexor activity and genomic alterations in circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA). OUTLINE: Patients receive atezolizumab intravenously (IV) over 30-60 minutes on day 8 of cycle 1, and then on day 1 of subsequent cycles. Patients also receive selinexor orally (PO) on days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo echocardiography (ECHO) during screening and computed tomography (CT) and collection of blood samples throughout the study. Adult patients also undergo biopsies throughout the study. After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up for 30 days.

            • * Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness, prior malignancy, any other disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug, may affect the interpretation of the results, or may render the patient at high risk from treatment complications
            • * Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the study, starting with the screening visit through 5 months after the last dose of atezolizumab or 3 months after the last dose of selinexor, whichever is longer. A woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) who has a positive urine pregnancy test (e.g., within 8 days) prior to treatment will be excluded from the study. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test result within 8 days prior to initiation of study treatment. Pregnant women are excluded from this study because atezolizumab is a monoclonal antibody agent with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with atezolizumab, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with atezolizumab. These potential risks may also apply to selinexor. Due to the potential risks, WOCBPs and men must agree to use highly effective contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and 5 months after completion of atezolizumab administration or 3 months after completion of selinexor administration, whichever is longer. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately
