A Phase II Trial of Neoadjuvant Nivolumab, Docetaxel, Cisplatin Therapy Followed by Surgery and Radiation Therapy for Resectable High Grade Salivary Gland Carcinoma
Objective: \- Major pathologic response rate defined by ≤ 10% of tumor composed of viable tumor 2. Secondary
Objectives: * Complete resection rate * Response rate to neoadjuvant therapy according to RECIST 1.1 * Downstaging at pathologic staging compared to clinical staging performed at study entry * Distant metastasis free survival (DMFS) rate at 2 years * Disease free survival at 2 years * Overall survival rate at 2 years * Safety and feasibility 3. Exploratory Objectives: * PD L1 expression by 28-8 immunohistochemistry * IHC (HER2, AR, etc) * Whole exome sequencing (WES) * Whole transcriptome sequencing (WTS) * Peripheral blood biomarkers (CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cell, myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC), Treg etc) * Interferon gamma related gene expression profile * Multiplex florescence measure of tumor cells and tumor microenvironment cells
• Subjects with histologically- or cytologically-confirmed resectable, clinically node-positive high grade salivary gland carcinoma Adenoid cystic carcinoma: Tubular/cribriform pattern predominant, Solid pattern \> 30% Poorly differentiated carcinoma Mucoepidermoid carcinoma, High grade Polymorphous adenocarcinoma, High grade Lymphoepithelial carcinoma Salivary duct carcinoma Adenocarcinoma, NOS, High grade Carcinosarcoma Squamous cell carcinoma Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma - risk is determined by type of carcinoma and extent of invasion
• No previous chemotherapy treatment history
• Patients who have at least 1 measurable or non-measurable lesion per the RECIST Guideline Ver. 1.1 as confirmed by imaging within 28 days before the first does of investigational product.
• Strongly encourage (but not must) to provide newly obtained core or excisional biopsy of a tumor lesion not previously treated.
• ECOG Performance Status Score 0 or 1
• Patients with a life expectancy of at least 3 months
• Patients whose latest laboratory data meet the below criteria within 28 days before the first dose of the investigational product. If the date of the laboratory tests at the time of enrollment is not within 28 days before the first dose of the investigational product, testing must be repeated within 28 days before the first dose of the investigational product, and these latest laboratory tests must meet the following criteria.
‣ White blood cells ≥2,000/mm3 and neutrophils ≥1,500/mm3
⁃ Platelets ≥50,000/mm3
⁃ Hemoglobin ≥8.0 g/dL
⁃ AST (GOT) and ALT (GPT) ≤3.0-fold the upper limit of normal (ULN) of the study site
⁃ Total bilirubin ≤1.5-fold the ULN of the study site
⁃ Creatinine ≤1.5-fold the ULN of the study site or creatinine clearance (either the measured or estimated value using the Cockcroft-Gault equation) \>45 mL/min
• Women of childbearing potential (including women with chemical menopause or no menstruation for other medical reasons) #1 must agree to use contraception#2 from the time of informed consent until 5 months or more after the last dose of the investigational product. Women must agree to use contraception#2 from the time of informed consent until 6 months or more after the last dose of docetaxel and 14 months or more after the last dose of cisplatin. Also, women must agree not to breastfeed from the time of informed consent until 5 months or more after the last dose of the investigational product. Women must agree not to breastfeed from the time of informed consent until 1 week or more after the last dose of docetaxel. Cisplatin has been reported to be found in human milk; women must agree not to breastfeed while receiving cisplatin.
• Men must agree to use contraception#2 from the start of study treatment until 7 months or more after the last dose of the investigational product, until 3 months or more after the last dose of docetaxel, and until 11 months or more after the last dose of cisplatin.
‣ Women of childbearing potential are defined as all women after the onset of menstruation who are not postmenopausal and have not been surgically sterilized (e.g., hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy). Postmenopause is defined as amenorrhea for ≥12 consecutive months without specific reasons. Women using oral contraceptives, intrauterine devices, or mechanical contraception such as contraceptive barriers are regarded as having childbearing potential.
⁃ The subject must consent to use any two of the following methods of contraception: vasectomy or condom for patients who are male or female subject's partner and tubal ligation, contraceptive diaphragm, intrauterine device, spermicide, or oral contraceptive for patients who are female or male subject's partner.
