Studio di fase 3 sull'aggiunta di atezolizumab a FOLFOXIRI e bevacizumab nel tumore del colon-retto metastatico pMMR con Immunoscore elevato

Inclusion Criteria:

* Histologically proven diagnosis of colorectal cancer;
* Initially unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer not previously treated with chemotherapy for metastatic disease;
* Proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) status in tumour tissue (primary or metastatic), as determined by a local laboratory assay in a CLIA- or similarly certified;
* Immunoscore IC-high status in tumour tissue (primary or metastatic), as determined by a sponsor-defined central laboratory (HEGP, AP-HP, INSERM, France).
* At least one measurable lesion according to RECIST criteria (version 1.1);
* Availability of adequate tumour specimen (primary or metastatic);
* Male or female of 18-75 years of age;
* ECOG PS ≤ 2 if aged < 71 years, ECOG PS = 0 if aged 71-75 years;
* Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks;
* Previous adjuvant chemotherapy allowed only if with fluoropyrimidine monotherapy and more than 6 months elapsed between the end of adjuvant and first relapse;
* Neutrophils >1.5 x 109/L, Platelets >100 x 109/L, Hb >9 g/dl;
* Total bilirubin ≤1.5 times the upper-normal limits (UNL) of the normal values and AST (SGOT) and/or ALT (SGPT) <2.5 x UNL (or <5 x UNL in case of liver metastases) alkaline phosphatase <2.5 x UNL (or <5 x UNL in case of liver metastases);
* Creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/min or serum creatinine ≤1.5 x UNL;
* INR or aPTT ≤1.5 x ULN. This applies only to patients who are not receiving therapeutic anticoagulation;
* Urine dipstick of proteinuria <2+. Patients discovered to have 2+ proteinuria on dipstick urinalysis at baseline, should undergo a 24-hour urine collection and must demonstrate ≤1 g of protein/24 h;
* Women of childbearing potential must have a negative blood pregnancy test at the baseline visit. For this trial, women of childbearing potential are defined as all women following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently sterile. Permanent sterilization methods include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral oophorectomy. A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a post-menopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy. However, in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a single FSH measurement is insufficient;
* Male subjects with female partners of childbearing potential and female subjects of childbearing potential must, therefore, be willing to use adequate contraception as approved by the investigator (barrier contraceptive measure or oral contraception) and outlined in "Section 6.5 - Contraception", starting with the first dose of study therapy through 6 months after the last dose of bevacizumab and fluorouracil and within 5 months after the last dose of atezolizumab.
* Females of childbearing potential must have a negative blood pregnancy test at the baseline visit (i.e., performed maximum 7 days before the treatment start);
* Will and ability to comply with the protocol;
* Written informed consent to study procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Radiotherapy to any site within 4 weeks before the study;
* Previous adjuvant oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy;
* Previous treatment with bevacizumab;
* Prior treatment with CD137 agonists, anti-CTLA4, anti-PD-1, or anti-PD-L1 therapeutic antibody or pathway-targeting agents;
* Complete dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPYD) deficiency (homozygous of the following DPYD polymorphisms: c1679GG, c1905+1AA, c2846TT);
* Untreated brain metastases or spinal cord compression or primary brain tumours;
* History or evidence upon physical examination of CNS disease unless adequately treated;
* History of haemoptysis ≥ 2 grade NCIC-CTG criteria within one month prior to screening;
* Active or untreated CNS metastases:
* Symptomatic peripheral neuropathy > 2 grade NCIC-CTG criteria;
* Serious, non-healing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture;
* Evidence of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy;
* Uncontrolled hypertension (SBP>150 mmHg and/or DPB>100 mmHg), or prior history of hypertensive crisis, or hypertensive encephalopathy ;
* Clinically significant (i.e., active) cardiovascular disease for example cerebrovascular accidents (within 6 months prior to study enrollment), myocardial infarction (within 6 months prior to study enrollment), unstable angina, New York Heart Association (NYHA) grade II or greater congestive heart failure, serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication;
* Significant vascular disease (e.g. aortic aneurysm requiring surgical repair or recent arterial thrombosis) within 6 months of study enrolment;
* Active infection requiring antibiotics at the time of initiation of study treatment;
* Any previous venous thromboembolism ≥ NCI CTCAE Grade 4;
* History of abdominal fistula, GI perforation, intra-abdominal abscess or active GI bleeding within 6 months prior to the first study treatment;
* Current or recent (within 10 days prior to study treatment start) ongoing treatment with full-dose anticoagulants for therapeutic purposes.
* Chronic, daily treatment with high-dose aspirin (>325 mg/day);
* Treatment with any investigational drug within 30 days prior to enrollment or 2 investigational agent half-lives (whichever is longer);
* Other co-existing malignancies or malignancies diagnosed within the last 5 years with the exception of localized basal and squamous cell carcinoma or cervical cancer in situ;
* Major surgical procedure, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to study treatment start, or anticipation of the need for major surgical procedure during the course of the study;
* Core biopsy or other minor surgical procedure, excluding placement of a vascular access device, within 7 days prior to initiation of study treatment;
* Lack of physical integrity of the upper gastrointestinal tract, malabsorption syndrome, or inability to take oral medication;
* Pregnant or lactating women. Women of childbearing potential with either a positive or no pregnancy test at baseline. Postmenopausal women must have been amenorrheic for at least 12 months to be considered of non-childbearing potential. Sexually active males and females (of childbearing potential) unwilling to practice contraception (barrier contraceptive measure or oral contraception) during the study and until 6 months after the last dose of bevacizumab, fluorouracil and within 5 months after the last dose of atezolizumab;
* History of autoimmune disease;
* History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (including pneumonitis), drug-induced pneumonitis, organizing pneumonia (i.e., bronchiolitis obliterans, cryptogenic organizing pneumonia), or evidence of active pneumonitis on screening chest CT scan;
* Positive test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV);
* Active hepatitis B (defined as having a positive hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg] test prior to randomization) or hepatitis C;

* Treatment with systemic corticosteroids or other systemic immunosuppressive medications (including but not limited to prednisone, dexamethasone, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, methotrexate, thalidomide, and anti-tumour necrosis factor [TNF] agents) within 2 weeks prior to start of study treatment, or requirement for systemic immunosuppressive medications during the trial. The use of inhaled corticosteroids and mineralocorticoids (e.g., fludrocortisone) is allowed;
* Known hypersensitivity or allergy to Chinese hamster ovary cell products or any component of the atezolizumab formulation;
* Administration of a live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to start of study treatment or anticipation that such a live attenuated vaccine will be required during the study;
