Brief Title: Infliximab or Vedolizumab in Treating Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Related Colitis in Patients With Genitourinary Cancer or Melanoma
Official Title: Treatment of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-Related Colitis With Infliximab or Vedolizumab: A Randomized Trial
Study ID: NCT04407247
Brief Summary: This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of infliximab and vedolizumab and to see how well they work in treating inflammation of the colon (colitis) caused by immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy in patients with cancer of the genital and urinary organs (genitourinary) or melanoma. Monoclonal antibodies, such as infliximab or vedolizumab, may help to treat immunotherapy induced colitis/diarrhea. This study may help to identify the optimal treatment strategy for immune checkpoint inhibitor-related colitis in patients with genitourinary cancer or melanoma.
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare the efficacy of infliximab and vedolizumab for clinical remission/response of immune-related diarrhea and/or colitis. II. To assess the safety and tolerability of the treatment for immune-mediated diarrhea and/or colitis. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess the efficacy of infliximab and vedolizumab for clinical remission/response of IMC at 4 weeks. II. To assess the success of corticosteroid tapering. III. To measure the recurrence rate after corticosteroid taper. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess the efficacy of infliximab and vedolizumab to achieve endoscopic remission of immune-related diarrhea and/or colitis. II. To assess the efficacy of infliximab and vedolizumab to achieve histological remission of immune-related diarrhea and/or colitis. III. To assess the time duration to achieve the clinical remission/response. IV. To assess the long term outcome of cancer. V. To assess immunological, molecular and microbiome changes in tissue/blood/stool. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM I: Patients receive infliximab intravenously (IV) over 1 hour once at week 0, 2, 6 for a total of 3 doses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ARM II: Patients receive vedolizumab IV over 1 hour once at week 0, 2, 6 for a total of 3 doses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed up weekly for 1 month and then at 2 and 3 months after the treatment.
