What this Trial Is About

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

Eligibility Criteria

Eligible

You may qualify if you...

  • Histologically confirmed advanced solid tumors that have progressed or resisted after at least one line of standard systemic treatment or during first-line treatment
  • No curative surgery option for the disease at inclusion (except peritoneal mesothelioma patients may consider debulking surgery after 6 months of study treatment if tumor response is significant)
  • Presence of evaluable lesions for radiological or biological response according to cohort-specific criteria
  • Patients aged 18 years or older
  • ECOG performance status of 0 or 1
  • Willingness to provide archival tumor tissue or undergo biopsy if medically safe
  • Adequate bone marrow function with specified thresholds for neutrophils, platelets, and hemoglobin
  • Adequate renal function with calculated creatinine clearance of at least 30 ml/min
  • Liver function within defined limits for bilirubin and AST/ALT
  • Life expectancy of at least 16 weeks
  • Use of highly effective contraception for men and women of childbearing age
  • Signed informed consent before any study procedures
  • Affiliated with French social security or equivalent
  • Ability to comply with protocol and follow-up visits
  • Specific criteria for each cohort, including histological confirmation and evidence of progression or relapse after prior treatments
Not Eligible

You will not qualify if you...

  • Previous treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors or other immunotherapies
  • Active or prior autoimmune or immune-related disorders except certain stable or resolved conditions after consultation
  • Requirement for chronic systemic steroid or immunosuppressive therapy
  • Uncontrolled illnesses that limit compliance or increase risk
  • Presence of a second primary cancer unless treated and disease-free for at least 3 years
  • Meningeal involvement
  • Untreated or symptomatic CNS metastases unless stable and asymptomatic
  • Recent systemic chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 6 weeks before study treatment
  • Treatment with other investigational agents that may interfere

  • Prior organ transplantation including allogeneic stem cell transplant
  • Participation in other clinical trials interfering with this study
  • Patients under legal tutorship or guardianship
