Has a benign variant of BRCA1/2 genes\n- 3. Has received more than one line of chemotherapy for advanced disease\n- 4. Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy (in dosing exceeding 10 mg daily of prednisone equivalent) or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug.\n- 5.

Has had an allogenic tissue/solid organ transplant\n- 8. Has had a prior anti-cancer monoclonal antibody (mAb) within 4 weeks prior to study Day 1 or who has not recovered (i.e., = Grade 1 or at baseline) from adverse events due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier.\n- 9. Has had prior chemotherapy, targeted small molecule therapy, or radiation therapy within 2 weeks prior to study Day 1 or who has not recovered (i.e., = Grade 1 or at baseline) from adverse events due to a previously administered agent. - Note: Subjects with = Grade 2 neuropathy are an exception to this criterion and may qualify for the study. - Note: If subject received major surgery, they must have recovered adequately from the toxicity and/or complications from the intervention prior to starting therapy.\n- 10.

Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has undergone potentially curative therapy or in situ cervical cancer.\n- 11. Has known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Subjects with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are stable (without evidence of progression by imaging for at least four weeks prior to the first dose of trial treatment and any neurologic symptoms have returned to baseline), have no evidence of new or enlarging brain metastases, and are not using steroids for at least 7 days prior to trial treatment. This exception does not include carcinomatous meningitis which is excluded regardless of clinical stability.\n- 12. Has active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (i.e. with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (eg., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a form of systemic treatment and is allowed.\n- 13. Has a history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease that required steroids or has current pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease.\n- 14. Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy.\n- 15. Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the subject’s participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator.\n- 16. Has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial.\n- 17. Has a positive urine pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to allocation. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required. Is exclude also women pregnant or breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the trial, starting with the prescreening or screening visit through 120 days after the last dose of trial treatment."}
Endpoints
Primary endpoints
- {"endpoint_text":"- The objective response rate","definition_or_measurement_approach":"The ORR (complete response plus partial response) will be evaluated according to RECIST v1.1 criteria"}
Secondary endpoints
- {"endpoint_text":"- TTP will be calculated as the time between the enrolment and the disease progression. The duration of response (DOR) will be measured from the time of the first ORR is recorded to the date of progression is objectively documented. The Disease Control Rate (DCR) will be evaluated as the percentage of patients with ORR and stable disease. OS will be considered as the interval between the enrolment and the death or the last date the patient was alive.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"TTP: time between enrolment and disease progression. DOR: from time first ORR recorded to date of objective progression. DCR: percentage of patients with ORR and stable disease. OS: interval between enrolment and death or last known alive date."}
- {"endpoint_text":"- Safety: The safety of the combination will be evaluated according to the worst toxicity grade reported throughout the whole treatment period.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Safety assessed by worst toxicity grade reported throughout treatment period (grading per standard toxicity criteria as per protocol)."}
