5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Immune-checkpoint-inhibitors (ICI) have revolutionized treatment for 20 cancer types. They unleash anti-tumor immune responses. Unfortunately, in 0.36-1.23% of patients, this activation can also lead to lethal immune-related adverse events (irAEs) that can affect any organ. Among those irAEs, ICI-induced myocarditis are the most frequently fatal with death rate reaching 50% in a large case-series of over 100 patients. This study is a dose-finding Phase II trial where 3 abatacept IV regimen (A-10 mg/kg; B-20 mg/kg and C-25 mg/kg every week) will be tested aiming at reaching promptly (after the first dose) and sustainably a CD86RO≥80% during the first 3 weeks of ICI-myocarditis management. The main objective is to find the lowest dose required to achieve a circulating monocytes CD86RO≥80% within the first week of treatment and sustainably over three weeks. The target population is all adult patients with cancer (all cancer types) treated by immune checkpoint inhibitors (anti-PD1, anti-PDL1, anti-CTLA4 monotherapies or combination) and presenting drug-induced myocarditis.
Detailed Description
Immune-checkpoint-inhibitors (ICI) have revolutionized treatment for 20 cancer types. They unleash anti-tumor immune responses. Unfortunately, in 0.36-1.23% of patients, this activation can also lead to lethal immune-related adverse events (irAEs) that can affect any organ. Among those irAEs, ICI-induced myocarditis are the most frequently fatal with death rate reaching 50% in a large case-series of over 100 patients. Other severe irAEs are pneumonitis, hepatitis and neuromyotoxicities (myositis, myasthenia gravis-like syndrome) with death rates of 20-25%. Co-occurrence of irAEs affecting multiple organs is frequent (30% for myocarditis and myositis) as they share underlying mechanisms with macrophages and cytotoxic T-cell infiltrates leading to organ destruction. While rigorous studies for the treatment of irAEs are lacking, consensus guidelines recommend treatment with high-dose corticosteroids with progressive tapering and withholding ICI. When symptoms and biological markers do not improve, other immunosuppressive drugs (mycophenolate-mofetil, methotrexate, cyclosporine, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, antithymocyte globulin, infliximab, tocilizumab, and rituximab) can be considered, depending on organs affected. Intravenous immunoglobulin or plasmapheresis can also be considered. In patients developing myocarditis, available therapeutics produce poor results and the fatality rate (40-50%) has stagnated between 2014-2019 despite increasing glucocorticoids use. No treatment has been shown to improve this situation. Thus, better reversal agents' strategies are urgently needed in the context of the increasing use of ICI and of associated irAEs. Abatacept and belatacept (CTLA4-immunoglobulin fusion proteins) have very promising properties: they inhibit CD80/CD86 mediated T-cell co-stimulation at the level of dendritic-cells, thereby abrogating activation of the T-cells upstream of the CTLA4 and PD1/PDL1 pathways. "CTLA4 agonists" leads to rapid global T-cell anergy with limited off-target effects, and specifically reverse ICI-activated pathways. Abatacept is currently indicated in rheumatological disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and belatacept is indicated in kidney rejection transplantation prophylaxis. In these latter indications, the circulating monocytes CD86 receptor occupancy (CD86RO) by "CTLA4 agonists" is a relevant pharmacodynamic biomarker of their clinical activity. The target CD86RO cut-off should be over 80%. Confirming the rationale for "CTLA4 agonists" use in ICI-myocarditis, the investigators recently showed that abatacept was able to alleviate fatal myocarditis in CTLA4/PD1 genetic knock-out mice model. Finally, this group recently described the first cases of glucocorticoid-refractory myocarditis induced by nivolumab (anti-PD1) which resolved after treatment with abatacept. This success prompted the investigators to treat over 15 ICI-myocarditis patients in their institution and several other teams to use abatacept in ICI-induced myocarditis with encouraging results. Though, in their experience, initial doses of abatacept needed to promptly reach CD86RO≥80% in ICI-myocarditis setting were much higher than those needed in its usual indications. This study is a dose-finding Phase II trial where 3 abatacept IV regimen (A-10 mg/kg; B-20 mg/kg and C-25 mg/kg every week) will be tested aiming at reaching promptly (after the first dose) and sustainably a CD86RO≥80% during the first 3 weeks of ICI-myocarditis management. The main objective is to find the lowest dose required to achieve a circulating monocytes CD86RO≥80% within the first week of treatment and sustainably over three weeks. The target population is all adult patients with cancer (all cancer types) treated by immune checkpoint inhibitors (anti-PD1, anti-PDL1, anti-CTLA4 monotherapies or combination) and presenting drug-induced myocarditis.

In case of additional doses of abatacept, this proxy will also be additionally measured one hour before and one to three hours after each dose of abatacept
Time Frame
The three first months after abatacept administration
Title
Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) modelling of abatacept in ICI-myocarditis
Description
Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) modelling of abatacept in ICI-myocarditis with determination of time to Cmax (hours). In case of additional doses of abatacept, these proxies will also be additionally measured one hour before and one to three hours after each dose of abatacept
Time Frame
The three first months after abatacept administration
Title
Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) modelling of abatacept in ICI-myocarditis
Description
Modelling of the 50% median effective concentration (µg/ml) of abatacept to saturate CD86 receptor on circulating monocytes (%) and to normalize troponin levels (ng/ml). In case of additional doses of abatacept, these proxies will also be additionally measured one hour before and one to three hours after each dose of abatacept
Time Frame
The three first months after abatacept administration
Title
Quantification of tumor progression by appropriate examination depending on the tumor type (e.g. CT-scan for lung or renal cancer) using the best monitoring work-up used in standard of care.
Time Frame
The imaging modalities will be assessed at least once as soon as possible after admission, after 3 months and one year after abatacept start.
Title
Quantification of the number and severity (in particular fatal) of adverse events, in particular infectious, according to the CTCAE v5.0 classification.
Description
A Full clinical examination searching for any ongoing infection before starting treatment and active clinical monitoring of any sign of new infection during the treatment course and for 1 year. The biological monitoring will include with a blood PCR seeking for CMV reactivation weekly for 4 weeks and then at 3 months and one year (in patients carrying a positive serology for CMV); as well as a blood next generation sequencing seeking for pathogens will be assessed at least once as soon as possible after admission, then at day 14, 3 months and one year after the first abatacept administration.
Time Frame
Full clinical examination : Before starting treatment, during the treatment course and during 1 year / Active clinical monitoring during the treatment course and for 1 year / Biological monitoring : During the first 4 weeks, at 3 months and one year

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Age ≥ 18 years old Weight ≥ 40 kg and ≤ 125 kg Patients treated with ICI immunotherapy (monotherapy or combination), including anti-PD1, anti-PDL1, anti-CTLA4; and including any type of cancer (even those in which ICI is not currently approved by regulatory) Definite, probable or possible ICI-induced myocarditis according to the diagnostic criteria of the most recent expert consensus recommendations (e.g27, to be updated with any new recommendations to be published) Severe or corticosteroid-resistant ICI-myocarditis: Severe ICI-myocarditis is defined either 1/ by the appearance of an alteration of the LVEF<50% or a wall motion kinetics abnormality, or 2/ by the appearance of ventricular tachycardias or high-grade conductive disorders (atrioventricular block grade 2 or 3) or 3/ by the association with myasthenia gravis-like-syndrome (diplopia, ptosis, diaphragmatic dysfunction, dysarthria, dysphonia, dysphagia) or 4/ by troponin-T levels above 32 times the upper limit of the normal (a population at very high-risk ~75% of major cardiomuscular events in the month following initial presentation). Corticosteroid-resistant ICI-myocarditis is defined by the absence of decrease in troponin levels or the appearance/persistence of severity criteria despite receiving prednisone dose ≥0.5 mg/kg/day for ≥2 days. Signature of informed consent before any trial procedure from the patient or legal representative or the close relative Patients covered by social security regimen (excepting AME) Withhold of ICI Exclusion Criteria: Untreated and/or uncontrolled bacterial, fungal, or viral infection Pregnancy, breast-feeding or planning to become pregnant during the study period For women of childbearing age, lack of effective contraception throughout the duration of participation in the study Being treated with abatacept or belatacept within 3 months prior to inclusion Known hypersensitivity to abatacept or belatacept Being treated with anti-thymoglobulin, or alemtuzumab within 6 weeks of the first scheduled dose of abatacept Patient participating to another interventional study (RIPH 1 only) People under legal protection measure (tutorship, curatorship or safeguard measures)
