Official Title
An Early Access Program for Durvalumab and Tremelimumab as First Line Treatment for Patients With Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Brief Summary

To provide early access (i.e., before marketing authorisation) to tremelimumab 300 mg IVadministered once on Day 1 of Cycle 1 plus durvalumab 1500 mg IV followed by durvalumab1500 mg IV Q4W monotherapy in patients with unresectable HCC.

Detailed Description

Overall design This is a multi centre, open-label, early access program (EAP) designed to
provide treatment access to intravenous (IV) combination treatment regimen of 300 mg
tremelimumab administered IV once on Day 1 of Cycle 1 plus 1500 mg durvalumab IV (MEDI
4736) followed by durvalumab IV monotherapy administered once every 4 weeks (Q4W) for
eligible patients with unresectable, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Durvalumab and tremelimumab will be provided free of charge to the patients entering this
program.

This global EAP will be opened in a staggered fashion, country by country, based on the
requesting Treating Physician(s) and local regulations, ending when durvalumab and
tremelimumab has received marketing authorisation in first line treatment in patients
with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.

Target patient population Patients with unresectable HCC and Barcelona Clinic Liver
Cancer (BCLC) stage B (who are not eligible or no longer suitable for locoregional
therapy [LRT]) or stage C before entering the EAP.

Program period The EAP will enrol patients and provide resupply of durvalumab and
tremelimumab until durvalumab and tremelimumab has received marketing authorisation in
first line treatment for patients with unresectable HCC as per local regulations.

The EAP will be closed to new patients based on local regulations or when commercially
reimbursed product is available. After reimbursement is secured, or denial of
reimbursement, or decision by the Sponsor to close the enrolment, whichever occurs first,
no new patients can be enrolled after this point.

In the event that market license approval or reimbursement should not be granted,
contingencies will be made to ensure continued drug supply for patients who are still
deriving benefit from durvalumab and tremelimumab.

Number of patients:

The number of patients who will enrol in the EAP is based on approval of unsolicited
requests received from the Treating Physician.

Program treatment:

On Day 1 of Cycle 1, tremelimumab will be administered first followed by durvalumab 1
hour later. Tremelimumab will be given once on Day 1 of Cycle 1. Durvalumab monotherapy
is then given Q4W.

Duration of treatment:

Patients may continue to receive EAP treatment providing they continue to show clinical
benefit, as judged by the Treating Physician, in the absence of unacceptable safety
concerns until disease progression, toxicity or withdrawal.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age 18 years and over at the time of screening.

2. Body weight over 30 kg.

3. Confirmed HCC based on histopathological findings from tumour tissues.

4. Must not have received prior systemic therapy for HCC.

5. Must not be eligible for locoregional therapy for resectable HCC. For patients who
progressed after locoregional therapy for HCC, locoregional therapy must have been
completed at least 28 days before the baseline scan for the programme.

6. Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage B (that is not eligible for locoregional
therapy) or stage C (refer to Appendix H).

7. Child-Pugh Score Class A; or Child-Pugh Class B7 or B8 at discretion of treating
physician (refer to Appendix I).

8. Patients with HBV infection, characterised by positive hepatitis B surface antigen
(HBsAg) and/or hepatitis B core antibodies (anti-HBcAb) with detectable HBV
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) (≥10 IU/mL or above the limit of detection per local or
central lab standard), must be treated with antiviral therapy, as per institutional
practice to ensure adequate viral suppression (HBV DNA <2000 IU/mL) before
enrolment. Patients must remain on antiviral therapy for the duration of their
participation in the EAP and for 6 months after the last dose of EAP medication.
Patients who test positive for anti-hepatitis B core (HBc) with undetectable HBV DNA
(<10 IU/mL or under the limit of detection per local or central lab standard) do not
require anti-viral therapy before enrolment. These participants will be tested at
every cycle to monitor HBV DNA levels and initiate anti-viral therapy if HBV DNA is
detected (≥10 IU/mL or above the limit of detection per local or central lab
standard). HBV DNA detectable patients must initiate and remain on anti-viral
therapy for time they are in the EAP and for 6 months after the last dose of EAP
medication.

9. Patients with HCV infection must have confirmed diagnosis of HCV characterised by
the presence of detectable HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) or anti-HCV antibody upon
enrolment (management of this disease is per local institutional practice).

10. At least 1 measurable lesion, not previously irradiated, that can be accurately
measured at baseline ≥10 mm in the longest diameter (except lymph nodes, which must
have as short axis ≥15 mm) with computerised tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI), and that is suitable for accurate repeated measurements as per RECIST
1.1 guidelines (Eisenhauer et al, 2009). A lesion which progressed after previous
ablation or transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) could be measurable if it meets
these criteria.

11. Adequate organ and marrow function, as defined below. Criteria "a", "b", "c", and
"f" cannot be met with transfusions, infusions, or growth factor support
administered within 14 days of starting the first dose of EAP treatment.

5. AST and ALT ≤5xULN

6. Albumin ≥2.8 g/dL

7. International normalised ratio (INR) ≤1.6. Note: INR prolongation due to
anticoagulants for prophylaxis (e.g., atrial fibrillation) in patients without
liver cirrhosis could be exception.

8. Calculated creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/minute as determined by Cockcroft Gault
(using actual body weight) or 24-hour urine creatinine clearance

12. Evidence of post-menopausal status or negative urinary or serum pregnancy test for
female pre-menopausal patients. Women will be considered post-menopausal as
described in Section 5.3.4.

13. Must have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.

14. Willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the EAP including
