A Randomized Phase II Study of Paclitaxel and Ramucirumab +/- Zanidatamab in HER2 Positive Advanced Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma

Participants with advanced stomach, gatroesophageal junction or esophageal cancer that is not treatable by surgical removal and which has high amounts of human epidermal growth factor receptor Type 2 (aka HER2) on the surface of their tumour cells, receive the anti-HER2 drug trastuzumab added to chemotherapy as standard of care, with the benefit that the addition of trastuzumab extends their survival. Investigation of other drugs that target HER2 and other cancer surface proteins simultaneously, or that link HER2 with another anti-cancer drug, have not shown benefit for these participants to-date. When these participants experience further growth of their cancer due to resistance, their next option for treatment is a combination of a toxic chemotherapy and a drug which binds to another cancer surface protein known as the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor type 2 (VEGFR2). Zanidatamab is a new type of antibody/drug that targets HER2, but offers the possible benefit over trastuzumab that it can not only bind slightly different versions of HER2, but it can also bind two HER2 receptors simultaneously. This means that zanidatamab may do a better, more efficient job of blocking HER2 receptors and may therefore have better effect in slowing tumour growth, or even causing tumour cell death. Early trials of zanidatamab in patients with stomach and esophageal cancers expressing HER2 have yielded very promising results both in terms of the effect on their cancers as well as the tolerability of zanidatamab. The current phase II study is seeking to determine whether there is sufficient early evidence that adding zanidatamab to the standard of care therapy for those participant who have become resistant to trastuzumab can better slow the growth of their tumours in order to proceed with a definitive, confirmatory phase III study which would be expected to lead to the approval of zanidatamab as standard of care treatment of these participants.


Complexity Level: 2

Eligibility: Patients must: Have histologically or pathologically confirmed gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma with HER2+ overexpression as confirmed by central testing using FDA-approved HER2 assay that is unresectable or metastatic. Have received and failed at lease one prior trastuzumab-containing regimen (combination with platinum chemotherapy) for treatment of metastatic disease. Failure is defined as demonstrated objective disease progression (radiologic). Have presence of measurable or evaluable disease as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST 1.1). Have imaging investigations including CT/MRI of chest/abdomen/pelvis or other scans as necessary to document all sites of disease done within 28 days prior to randomization. ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. Have a life expectancy of > 12 weeks at the time of study entry. Adequate cardiac function by ECHO or MUGA defined as EF > 50% Have adequate normal organ and marrow function

Objectives: Primary objective: Progression free survival Secondary objectives: Overall Survival, Objective Response Rate, Toxicity and Safety of Combination Therapy, Quality of Life, Identification and assessment of putative biomarkers of potential benefit in archival tumour specimens and baseline and on-treatment blood, serum and plasma samples, Other exploratory correlative analyses TBD

A Phase II Study of STRIDE (durvalumab + tremelimumab) with Lenvatinib versus STRIDE Alone in Patients with Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma (SLIDE-HCC)

The purpose of this trial is to compare the usual approach, STRIDE (durvalumab in combination with tremelimumab) systemic therapy alone to using lenvatinib plus the usual approach. Lenvatinib is known to be effective as a treatment option for unresectable HCC. This study will help the researchers discover if the addtition of lenvatinib to STRIDE is better than the usual approach. To decide if it is better, the researchers will be looking to see if the study approach slows or stabilizes the growth of the participants' liver cancer. Toxicity of adding lenvatinib will also be evaluated. The study will be conducted in Canada and Italy.


Complexity Level: 2

Eligibility: Adult patients with intermediate or advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that cannot be treated with surgery, who are not eligible for locoregional therapy and have not received prior drug treatment for their liver cancer are eligible for the study. Patients must have Child-Pugh Score class A or B7 based on low albumin (albumin 25-27 g/L) only. Patients will not be included if they are HIV positive or have an active tuberculosis infection, have an autoimmune or inflammatory disorder (some exceptions) or another type of cancer within the last 5 years (some exceptions), have active peptic ulcer disease, gastritis, or who have a condition that causes or increases risk of bleeding more than usual. Patients who have had major surgery in the past month are also excluded.

Objectives: The primary objective is to compare progression-free survival (PFS) between STRIDE (durvalumab + tremelimumab) with lenvatinib versus STRIDE alone in patients with intermediate and advanced hepatocellular carcinoma not amenable to local therapy. Secondary Objectives: •To determine the effect on overall survival (OS) of STRIDE with or without lenvatinib •To assess the toxicity and safety of STRIDE with or without lenvatinib •To determine the effect on objective response rate (ORR) of STRIDE with or without lenvatinib.

Perioperative versus Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Resectable Pancreatic Cancer

The purpose of this study is to compare the usual treatment approach (surgery followed by chemotherapy) to using chemotherapy followed by surgery and then more chemotherapy. The addition of chemotherapy before surgery to the usual treatment approach could extend the life of patients, but it could also cause side effects. This study will help doctors find out if this different approach is better, the same, or worse than the usual approach. To decide if it is better, the doctors will be looking to see if the study approach increases the life of patients compared to the usual approach. This chemotherapy drug regimen, FOLFIRINOX, is already commonly used in pancreatic cancer. However, most of the time it is not used until after surgery.

A Randomized Phase III Study of Nivolumab after Combined Modality Therapy (CMT) in High-Risk Anal Cancer


Complexity Level: 2

Eligibility: Registration step 1: Patients with histologically proven stage II (T3N0 only), IIIA, or IIIB invasive anal squamous cell carcinoma. For patients registering to Arm T, they must not have received prior chemoradiotherapy for anal cancer. Registration to step 2: Patients will be registered no sooner than 4 weeks following completion of standard chemoradiation for anal cancer (no less than 54 Gy). Patients must have histologically proven state II (T3N0 only), IIIA, or IIIB invasive anal squamous cell carcinoma.

Objectives: Primary objective: To evaluate whether therapy with nivolumab following combined modality therapy (CMT) improves Disease-Free Survival (DFS) compared with observation in patients with high risk anal carcinoma. Secondary objectives: To compare nivolumab following combined modality therapy (CMT) with observation in patients with high risk anal carcinoma with ragard to objective response rate (complete CR and partial PR), stable disease and progression; severe toxicity interval; colostomy-free survival; overall survival; toxicity.
