About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial to Evaluate the Combination of Capmatinib + Spartalizumab in Advanced Oesogastric Adenocarcinoma

Immunotherapy with anti-PD1 antibodies provides encouraging results on a subset of patients. Capmatinib, a MET inhibitor, has shown an imunomodulatory effect and a synergy with spartalizumab a PD-1 inhibitor. The purpose of this phase II trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of capmatinib + spartalizumab in adult patients with advanced oesogastric adenocarcinoma.

Being tested
Capmatinib, Spartalizumab
Medical subject headings
Adenocarcinoma Of Esophagus

    Measured: 12 months or treatment discontinuation

  3. Proportion of patients with adverse events during the whole treatment course

    All adverse events during the whole treatment course

    Measured: 12 months or treatment discontinuation

  4. Duration of overall response

    Time between the first occurrence of tumor objective response, partial or complete (RECIST 1.1) and the first radiological progression, with response assessment every 9 weeks, up to 24 months

    Measured: 24 months

  5. Time to response

    Time between inclusion and the first occurrence of tumor objective response (complete or partial, according to RECIST 1.1) or the end of the study, with response assessment every 9 weeks, up to 24 months

    Measured: 24 months

  6. Progression-free survival

    Time between inclusion and the date of the first radiological progression (according to RECIST 1.1), death (any cause), or last follow-up (maximum=24 months), whichever occurs first.

    Measured: 24 months

  7. Overall survival

    Time between inclusion and death (any cause) or last follow-up (maximum=24 months), whichever occurs first

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Capmatinib and Spartalizumab in people with Oesophageal Adenocarcinoma and Gastric Adenocarcinoma, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 7 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 39 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Feb 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Tumor response (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Feb 2023.
