Sintilimab Combined With IBI310 and Surufatinib for the Treatment of High-grade Advanced-neuroendocrine Neoplasms: a Single Arm, Open-label, Multi Center, Phase II Study

This is a phase II, single arm, open-label, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sintilimab combined with IBI310 and Surufatinib for the treatment of high-grade advanced-neuroendocrine neoplasm

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Neuroendocrine Neoplasm
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Sintilimab; Drug: IBI310; Drug: Surufatinib

Detailed Description

The study population is about 40 patients with high-grade advanced-neuroendocrine neoplasm, who fails or cannot tolerate standard therapies. Surufatinib 250 mg once a day (QD) will be orally administrated, Sintilimab 200mg will be intravenously administered every 3 weeks and IBI310 1mg/kg will be intravenously administered every 6 weeks up to documented disease progression, development of unacceptable toxicity, participant request, or withdrawal of consent. For Sintilimab, the upper time limit for treatment is 2 years. The primary objective is objective response rate (ORR) of Sintilimab combined with IBI310 and Surufatinib in patients with advanced high-grade advanced-neuroendocrine neoplasm.

      Note: Hepatitis B subjects who meet the following criteria can also be enrolled:

  1) HBV viral load before initial administration < 1000 copies/mL (200 IU/ml). Subjects should receive anti-HBV therapy to avoid virus reactivation 2) For patients with HBc (+), HBsAg (-), anti-HBS (-), and HBV viral load (-), prophylactic anti-HBV therapy is not required, but rigorous monitoring of virus reactivation is required;
