Summary

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have revolutionized the management of advanced cancers. However, most rare cancers have been excluded from this progress due to the lack of clinical trials involving these diseases. After the standard first-line treatment, there are no other validated treatments for most of them. The management of these patients in ≥ 2nd line treatment relies on historic poorly effective regimens. This creates an inequity between patients with frequent cancers beneficiating from medical progresses and approvals of innovative drugs, and patients with rare cancers are still treated with old and toxic drugs. Few available data on case reports and early phase studies indicate a beneficial role of the immunotherapy in rare cancers. The investigators assume that the combination of Domvanalimab and Zimberelimab is more effective than historical standard treatments in patients with 5 types of advanced rare cancers, after failure of at least one line of standard treatment in the advanced setting: * Cohort 1: Peritoneal Mesotheliomas (PM) * Cohort 2: Gestational Trophoblastic Tumors (GTT) * Cohort 3: B3 Thymomas and Thymic Carcinomas (TET) * Cohort 4: Refractory Thyroid Carcinomas (ATC) * Cohort 5: GEP-NET and carcinoid tumors (GEP-NET (Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors)/TCT (Thoracic carcinoid tumor)/UP-NET (Neuroendocrine tumor of unknown primary)) The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of the combination of Domvanalimab and Zimberelimab in terms of progression-free survival rate at 24 weeks (for cohorts 1,3,5), successful hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) normalisation rate at 24 weeks for cohort 2 and survival rate for cohort 4. The secondary objectives are to assess the efficacy of the combination of anti-TIGIT (T cell Immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains) and anti-PD-1 (Programmed Death-1) immunotherapies in terms of overall response rate, progression-free survival (cohort 1-3 and 5), resistance-free survival (cohort 2), overall survival (cohorts 1-3 and 5), duration of the response (cohorts 1-3 and 5); and to assess the tolerability of the doublet of immunotherapy in terms of adverse events. Patients will be treated until disease progression or alternatively 2 years in case of complete response (upon discussion with the coordinator of the study, the coordinator of the cohort and the investigator), unacceptable toxicity, or death. At the end of treatment, patients will be followed up for at least 1 year. IMMUNORARE5 is composed of five independent open-label national multicenter single-arm phase II trials, sponsored by Lyon University Hospital, led in collaboration with the corresponding French national reference centers, with a centralized coordination by a dedicated team. Each phase II trial is designed as a two-stage Simon design, with early termination for futility. For each cohort, a null hypothesis (H0) and an alternative hypotheses (H1) regarding the percentages of patients with success has been defined, with 5% one-sided alpha level and 80% power. The trial will be conducted in 15 French Centers with an inclusion period of 36 months

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a combination of two immunotherapy drugs — domvanalimab and zimberelimab — across five separate groups (cohorts) of rare advanced cancers in France. Each cohort focuses on a different rare cancer type that has already failed standard treatments. The study aims to see if this dual immunotherapy approach can help patients with these hard-to-treat cancers. **You may be eligible if...** - You have an advanced solid tumor (one of five specific rare cancer types) that has progressed or not responded to at least one standard treatment - Your cancer is not curable by surgery - You are 18 years or older with good performance status (ECOG 1 or below) - You have evaluable disease on imaging - You meet the specific requirements for your cancer cohort (e.g., peritoneal mesothelioma, gestational trophoblastic neoplasia, or another qualifying rare cancer) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have had prior treatment with anti-TIGIT or anti-PD-1/PD-L1 drugs - Your cancer does not fit one of the five specific cohorts - Your performance status or organ function does not meet the requirements - You have active autoimmune disease or other significant health conditions that could interfere Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

DRUGDOMVANALIMAB + ZIMBERELIMAB

Patients will be treated with intravenous Domvanalimab at flat dose of 1200 mg + intravenous Zimberelimab at flat dose of 360 mg, administered every 3 weeks (Q3W, one cycle = 3 weeks).

DRUGDOMVANALIMAB + ZIMBERELIMAB + FOLFOX-4

Patients will be treated with intravenous Domvanalimab at flat doses of 1600 mg + intravenous Zimberelimab at flat dose of 480 mg, administered every 4 weeks (Q4W), together with an induction treatment of intravenous FOLFOX-4 (Oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 IV, L-folinic acid 200 mg/m2 IV, and fluorouracil 400 mg/m2 IV bolus on Day 1, fluorouracil 2400 mg/m2 IV continuous infusion over 46-48 hours starting on Day 1) given every 2 weeks, for 4 months (one cycle = 4 weeks).
