Popis: TPS467 Background: CIT has significant survival benefits across multiple tumor types, but durable response is experienced by only subsets of patients (pts). To extend clinical benefit to more pts, efficacious CIT combinations (combos) targeting multiple cancer immune escape mechanisms need to be identified. The MORPHEUS platform includes multiple ph Ib/II trials designed to identify early signals of safety and efficacy of CIT combos. Using a randomized trial design, multiple treatment (tx) arms are compared with a single control arm in each pt cohort. We present three GI-specific MORPHEUS trials, each assessing CIT combos that could concurrently enhance multiple aspects of the cancer immune response. Methods: The MORPHEUS trials described here are global, open-label, randomized, Ph Ib/II trials enrolling pts with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancers or colorectal cancer (CRC). New arms with novel CIT combos (table) are opened as new txs become available, and arms with minimal efficacy or unacceptable toxicity are closed. Studies include multiple cohorts for pts receiving different lines of tx (1L and 2L PDAC and gastric; 3L CRC). Pts with loss of clinical benefit or unacceptable toxicity may be eligible to enroll in a different CIT combo arm. Primary endpoints include safety and investigator-assessed ORR (RECIST v1.1); secondary endpoints: PFS, OS, DCR and DOR. Clinical trial information: NCT03193190, NCT03281369, NCT03555149.
