Abstract
This is the phase Ib part of the phase I/II CAMILLA trial evaluating cabozantinib plus durvalumab in advanced chemo-refractory proficient mismatch repair or microsatellite stable (pMMR/MSS) gastrointestinal malignancies including gastric/gastroesophageal junction/esophageal (G/GEJ/E) adenocarcinoma, colorectal cancer (CRC), and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Thirty-five patients are enrolled. There are no observed dose-limiting toxicities during dose escalation. The overall grade 3/4 treatment-related adverse event rate is 34%. Among evaluable patients (n = 30), the objective response rate (ORR) is 30%, disease control rate (DCR) 83.3%, 6-month progression-free survival (PFS) 36.7%, median PFS 4.5 months, and median overall survival (OS) 8.7 months. Responses are seen in 4 of 17, 3 of 10, and 2 of 3 patients with CRC, G/GEJ/E adenocarcinoma, and HCC, respectively. Participants with a PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) ≥5 have numerically higher ORR, PFS, and OS. Cabozantinib plus durvalumab demonstrates a tolerable safety profile and potential efficacy in previously treated advanced pMMR/MSS gastrointestinal malignancies.
