Study Overview

Combining Epigenetic And Immune Therapy to Beat Cancer.

Umbrella study structure to independently and simultaneously assess the effects of the association of durvalumab and tazemetostat in multiple solid tumors.

4 independant, multicenter, prospective, signle-arm phase II trials, based on 2-stage Simon's optimal design, will be conducted in parallel to assess the efficacy of durvalumab when prescribed with tazemetostat, separately, in distinct cohorts of solid tumors: * cohort A: patients with pancreatic cancer * cohort B: patients with colorectal cancer not MSI-H or MMR-deficient * cohort C: patients with metastatic solid tumors with positive interferon gamma signature and/or tertiary lymphoid structure positive * cohort D: patients with soft-tissue sarcoma

6-month objective response (OR) independently for each populationObjective response is defined as the proportion of patients with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) observed at 6 months, based on RECIST 1.1 criteria6 months
Best overall response, independently for each populationBest overall response is defined as the best response across all time points (RECIST 1.1). The best overall response is determinded once all the data for the patient is known (RECIST 1.1)Throughout the treatment period, an expected average of 6 months
1-year progression-free survival, independently for each populationProgression-free survival is defined as the delay between the start date of treatment and the date of progression (as per RECIST 1.1) or death (from any cause), whichever occurs first1 year
