About this trial
This is an open-label, multicenter Phase 1b/2a study to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and efficacy of GNS561 in combination with trametinib in Advanced KRAS Mutated Cholangiocarcinoma after failure of standard-of-care first line therapy
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Histologically confirmed intrahepatic CCA with a documented KRAS mutation.
Patients greater than or equal to 18 years of age.
Patients must have disease progression that is not amenable to potentially curative treatment.
Patients must have received one or two lines of chemotherapy.
Disqualifiers
Previous treatment with a MEK inhibitor or autophagy inhibitor.
Previous treatment with three or more lines of prior chemotherapy.
Extrahepatic CCA with recent (within 6 weeks) placement of a stent or episodes of unstable biliary stents (manifest as obstruction, migration of the stent, infevtion or mechanical failure of the stent) within 6 weeks according to investigator's judgement.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Incidence of dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of GNS561 with trametinib (Phase 1b)
Defined as Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) being at least possibly related to study drug: With Grade ≥ 3 (using NCI CTCAE Version 5.0 or higher as applicable) such as specified in the protocol
Objective response rate (ORR) of the combination of GNS561 with trametinib (Phase 2a)
Defined as the proportion of patients with a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1)
Secondary outcomes
Duration of response (DoR)
Defined as the duration between first documentation of CR or PR to first documentation of disease progression or death using RECIST v1.1
Progression-free survival (PFS)
Defined as the time from the date of first dose of study drug to the date of first documented disease progression or death
Time To Progression (TTP)
Defined as the time from first dose of study drug to the date of first documented disease progression.
Disease Control Rate (DCR)
defined as the proportion of patients with a best overall response of CR or PR or stable disease (SD) using RECIST v1.1
