A Phase 1b Study of a DNAJB1-PRKACA Fusion Kinase Peptide Vaccine Combined With Glutamine Antagonist DRP-104, Nivolumab, and Ipilimumab for Patients With Advanced Stage Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma (FLC)
Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins
Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of a neoantigen vaccine targeting the DNAJB1-PRKACA fusion kinase in combination with DRP-104, Nivolumab and Ipilimumab is safe and yields a clinically compelling antitumor activity measured as based on objective response rate (ORR, assessed by RECIST 1.1). Secondary objectives include progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
