CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding
Main objective
Scope: Therapy
To compare the overall survival between FOLFIRI and FOLFIRI + Zimberelimab + Domvanalimab.
Secondary objectives 4
- To compare, between the FOLFIRI + Zimberelimab + Domvanalimab and the FOLFIRI arms: - 12-months and 6-months overall survival - Progression free survival (PFS) - Overall response rate (ORR according to RECIST 1.1) - Duration of Responses (DoR) - Toxicity assessed by NCI CTCAE v5.0 grading, - The Quality of life of patients under treatment per EQ 5D-5L & QLQ-C30 assessment
- 2. To explore the molecular biomarkers at baseline, assessed by liquid biopsy and the immune biomarkers, assessed by flow cytometry or cytokine dosing, as predictive biomarkers of efficacy in translationnal studies.
- 3. To explore the pathological characteristics of the tumor and their immune infiltration, their correlation to liquid biomarkers as predictive biomarkers of efficacy in translational studies.
- 4. To explore the feasibility of collecting toxicity and symptom data reported by patients included in the REWENEC-01 trial (Patients Reported Outcomes, PRO).

| 1 | Domvanalimab (AB154) / Zimberelimab (AB122) The hypotheses of the REWENEC trial are that:
- the combination of FOLFIRI + Zimberelimab + Domvanalimab can increase the overall survival of patients with metastatic GEP/UK NEC, in the second-line of treatment.
- the use of a synthetic “hybrid” control arm is feasible in a comparative trial through the use of a dedicated randomization algorithm, a priori, robust, statistical hypotheses and a precisely characterized external control arm.

Endpoints
Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)
Primary endpoints 1
- the overall survival defined as the length of time from randomization, that patients included in the study are still alive. Patients alive at last follow-up will be considered censored.
Secondary endpoints 7
- 12-months (6-months) overall survival rate defined as the percentage of patients included in the study who are still alive 12-months (6-months) after randomization.
- Progression-free survival (PFS), defined as the time from randomization to disease progression or death, whatever the cause. Alive and no progressive patients at last follow-up will be considered as censored.
- Objective response rate (ORR) by local radiological evaluation using RECIST 1.1, defined as the proportion of patients with RECIST 1.1 complete or partial response. Patients with no radiological evaluation and patients with non-evaluable RECIST 1.1 response will be excluded.
- Duration of Responses (DoR), defined as the time from response (complete or partial) to progression or death, estimated in patients who reached a response and are RECIST 1.1 evaluable.
- Disease control rate by local radiological evaluation using RECIST 1.1, defined as the proportion of RECIST 1.1 evaluable patients in objective response or with stable disease.
- Toxicity assessed by NCI CTCAE v5.0 grading,
- Patients-reported outcomes according to EQ 5D-5L & QLQ-C30 questionnaire for patients recruited prospectively
