A DNAJB1-PRKACA Fusion Kinase Peptide Vaccine Combined With Glutamine Antagonist DRP-104, Nivolumab, and Ipilimumab in Patients With Advanced Stage Fibrolamellar Carcinoma (FLC)

A Phase 1b Study of a DNAJB1-PRKACA Fusion Kinase Peptide Vaccine Combined With Glutamine Antagonist DRP-104, Nivolumab, and Ipilimumab for Patients With Advanced Stage Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma (FLC)

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 30 Oct 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of a neoantigen vaccine targeting the DNAJB1-PRKACA fusion kinase in combination with DRP-104, Nivolumab and Ipilimumab is safe and yields a clinically compelling antitumor activity measured as based on objective response rate (ORR, assessed by RECIST 1.1). Secondary objectives include progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Patients with a history of prior treatment with checkpoint inhibitors, such as anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, anti-CD137, anti-OX-40, anti-CD40, anti-CTLA-4, or anti-LAG-3 antibodies.
  • Must have had chemotherapy or other systemic therapy or radiotherapy, as follows:
    • Patients who have had chemotherapy, biological cancer therapy, or radiation 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug.
    • Patients who have had surgery within 28 days of dosing of investigational agent, excluding minor procedures.
    • Patients who have received other approved or investigational agents or device within 28 days of the first dose of study drug.
  • Patients who have not recovered from acute adverse events to grade ≤1 or baseline due to agents administered, with exception of grade 2 fatigue, rash, and endocrinopathy successfully managed hormone replacement therapy, or alopecia or stable neuropathy, unless approved by the IND Sponsor.
  • Patients who have received any non-oncology live vaccine therapy used for prevention of infectious diseases within 28 days of study treatment.
  • Prior allogeneic stem cell transplantation or organ transplantation.
  • Systemic corticosteroids at immunosuppressive doses.
  • Patient is at the time of signing informed consent a regular user (including "recreational use") of any illicit drugs or had a recent history (within the last year) of substance abuse (including alcohol).
  • Patients receiving potent inducers of CYP 3A4/5 (including but not limited to apalutamide, carbamazepine, enzalutamide, mitotane, phenytoin, rifampin and St. John's Wort) who cannot safely discontinue drug at least 14 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1.
  • Have had an allergen hyposensitization therapy within 2 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment.

Other illness

  • Known sensitivity to or history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition of polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (Poly-ICLC) and/or DRP-104 and/or nivolumab and/or ipilimumab.
  • History of severe hypersensitivity reaction to any monoclonal antibody.
  • Has an active autoimmune disease.
  • Subjects with interstitial lung disease that is symptomatic or may interfere with the detection or management of suspected drug-related pulmonary toxicity.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent active medical and/or psychiatric illness/social psychosocial problems that that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, uncontrolled infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina, cardiac arrhythmia, metastatic cancer, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Has a known history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/AIDS.
  • Has active hepatitis B. Patients with chronic or acute HBV infection.
  • Have had evidence of active or acute diverticulitis, intra-abdominal abscess, or GI obstruction which are known risk factors for bowel perforation should be evaluated for the potential need for additional treatment before coming on study.

Lab values

  • Patients with QTc prolongation \> 470 ms according to Fridericia formula.

Other

  • Evidence of clinical ascites.

Who the study is looking for
