| Scientific title | An open-label, randomised, phase I/II trial of ruCaparib combined with Nivolumab +/- Ipilimumab to augment response in homologous repair deficient patients with relapsed Ovarian, primary peritoneal and fallopian tube cancer (CeNturIOn) |
| Study acronym | CeNturIOn |
| Study objectives | The addition of nivolumab with or without ipilimumab will improve clinical efficacy as compared to rucaparib monotherapy in patients with homologous recombination deficient relapsed high grade serous ovarian (fallopian tube, primary peritoneal) carcinoma. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Approved 22/08/2018, London - Harrow Research Ethics Committee (Level 3, Block B, Whitefriars, Lewins Mead, Bristol, BS1 2NT; Tel: +44 (0)207 104 8241; Email: nrescommittee.london-harrow@nhs.net), ref: 18/LO/1022 |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Relapsed high grade serous ovarian (fallopian tube, primary peritoneal) carcinoma |
| Intervention | After an initial safety run-in phase, part randomised (to the phase II part of the trial) to one of the three trial treatment arms by a computer which decides randomly which treatment the patient will receive, like tossing a coin or rolling a die. Treatment Arm 1: Rucaparib alone (R) participants begin by taking oral rucaparib tablets twice a day (approximately 12 h apart) continuously for each 42-day cycle. This dose may be reduced if the participant has side effects. Treatment Arm 2: Rucaparib with nivolumab (RN) participants begin by taking oral rucaparib tablets twice a day (approximately 12 h apart) continuously for each 42-day cycle. Participants also have a drip of nivolumab (taking approximately 60 min) every 2 weeks. The dose of rucaparib may be reduced if the patient has side effects relating to this drug. Treatment Arm 3: Rucaparib with nivolumab and ipilimumab (RNI) participants begin by taking rucaparib tablets twice a day (approximately 12 h apart) continuously for each 42-day cycle. Participants also have a drip of nivolumab (taking approximately 60 min) every 2 weeks and a 30-min drip of ipilimumab every 6 weeks. The dose of rucaparib may be reduced if the patient has side effects relating to this drug. |

Eligibility
| Participant type(s) | Patient |
|---|---|
| Age group | Adult |
| Lower age limit | 16 Years |
| Sex | Female |
| Target number of participants | 234 |
| Total final enrolment | 15 |
| Key inclusion criteria | 1. Age ≥ 16 years 2. Written informed consent prior to participating in the trial and any trial related procedures being performed 3. Histologically confirmed high-grade serous or Grade 3 endometrioid epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer 3.1. If mixed histology, > 50% of the primary tumour must be confirmed to be high-grade serous or endometrioid upon review by local pathology, with < 50% being ‘other’, e.g. carcinosarcoma – please contact CTU for advice if uncertain. The high-grade serous / endometrioid sections should be used for FM and translational blocks. 3.2. Patients with high grade ovarian cancer histology of other than serous or endometrioid are also eligible if they are already known to harbour a deleterious germline or somatic BRCA1/2 mutation NB patients who have an original diagnosis based on cytology only will not be eligible for entry into the trial unless a biopsy confirming criteria above is performed. 4. Received ≥ 1 prior platinum containing chemotherapy regimen(s). Patients can have had up to 3 prior lines (including primary therapy) of therapy for ovarian cancer. Agents administered in the maintenance setting will not be counted as a separate regimen but these must have been stopped at least 28 days prior to trial treatment. Hormonal agents (e.g. tamoxifen, letrozole etc.), anti-angiogenic agents (e.g. bevacizumab, pazopanib, cediranib etc.), and other non-chemotherapy agents will not be counted as a chemotherapy regimen but must have been stopped at least 28 days prior to trial treatment. No previous PARP inhibitor, anti-PD-1 or anti-PDL-1 or CTLA4 therapy. 5. Has documented treatment-free interval of ≥ 3 - < 12 months following the last chemotherapy regimen received. These time points are defined as time between Day 1 last cycle (this does not have to be a platinum but could be single agent liposomal doxorubicin or weekly taxol) and RECIST evaluable disease progression. 6. Has documented platinum free interval of > 3 - <12 months from last platinum containing regimen. These time points are defined as time between Day 1 last cycle and RECIST evaluable disease progression. 7. RECIST evaluable disease (by RECIST criteria v1.1). Patients with CA125 progression in the absence of RECIST evaluable disease will NOT be eligible. 8. Already known to have a deleterious germline or somatic BRCA1/2 mutation (proof required from local testing) OR be gBRCAwt LoHHIGH or BRCA 1/2 mutant as confirmed by the central laboratory (Foundation Medicine). Note: Tissue from BRCA mutant patients already identified locally will be required for confirmation. Sufficient archival formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumour tissue of adequate quality (see below) must be available for the central laboratory testing. Cytospin blocks from ascites are not acceptable. To be acceptable for Foundation Medicine testing, tumour tissue must be the most recently obtained specimen with at least 30% tumour content, and a minimum of 80% nucleated cellular content. If it is a mixed tumour, the majority of the specimen sent for central testing and translational work should be the high-grade component, e.g. not the carcinosarcoma / clear cell features. In the event that archival tumour tissue is not available a screening biopsy sample must be collected and provided to the central laboratory. 9. Willingness to undergo mandatory biopsy pre cycle 1 day 1, where safe and technically feasible. RECIST target lesions should be avoided if possible. A further biopsy is optional at the end of trial treatment. Patients who do not have disease amenable to biopsy are exempt from the biopsy, provided all other inclusion criteria are met, however they must have archival tumour tissue available for central laboratory (Foundation Medicine) testing. 10. Adequate haematological and biochemical function as indicated below, performed within 14 days prior to randomisation: 10.1. Absolute neutrophil count >1.5 x 109/L 10.2. Platelet count >100 x 109/L 10.3. Haemoglobin >90 g/L (blood / platelet transfusions within 2 weeks prior to randomisation or patients requiring regular haematopoetic support factors or blood transfusions, e.g. 2 or more times in the 4 weeks prior to first dose of trial drug, are not eligible). 10.4. Serum creatinine <1.5 times ULN or creatinine clearance ≥45 mL/min (measured or calculated by Cockcroft and Gault equation/Wright formula); confirmation of creatinine clearance is only required when serum creatinine is >1.5 times the ULN 10.5. Total bilirubin <1.5 times ULN. In cases of Gilbert’s syndrome, bilirubin < 2 x ULN is allowed 10.6. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) <3 times ULN if no demonstrable liver metastases or <5 times ULN in the presence of liver metastases 10.7. Alkaline phosphatase <5 x ULN 10.8. Albumin > 25 g/L 11. Willingness to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans and laboratory tests and other trial procedures. 12. Evidence of non-childbearing status. For women of childbearing potential: 12.1. negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days of trial treatment 12.2. (Post-menopausal defined as aged more than 50 years and amenorrhoeic for at least 12 months following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments, or, women under 50 years old who have been amenorrhoeic for at least 12 months following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments and have serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) levels in the post-menopausal range for the institution OR 12.3. Documentation of irreversible surgical sterilisation by hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral salpingectomy but not tubal ligation. 13. Patients with synchronous tumours e.g. ovarian and endometrial or history of prior malignancy are eligible provided that there is biopsy evidence that the disease measurable (by RECIST version 1.1, on CT / MRI is ovarian in origin and of appropriate histological types (see above). 14.
