An open label single arm phase II trial in patients with advanced unresectable previously treated oesophagogastric adenocarcinoma which is MGMT deficient.
The aim of the ELEVATE trial is to determine the activity and safety of maintenance TMZ dosing followed by nivolumab treatment to evaluate the potential for a future randomised trial against a standard of care control arm. The rationale to continue TMZ for 3 months or until PD is to evaluate the emergence of mismatch repair deficiency both with and without radiological PD, as clinically relevant MMRd may emerge before radiological progression. This will also reduce the number of patients who drop out due to symptomatic progressive disease.

Metronomic TMZ 50mg/m2/day orally for 3 months then nivolumab 240mg IV +/- TMZ until progression. Patients who don't progress on TMZ will commence with combination treatment; TMZ + Nivolumab at 3 mths. Patients who progress on TMZ will start monotherapy with nivolumab. Patients will remain on monotherapy with nivolumab or combination therapy until progression or up to a maximum of 24mths.

RECRUITINGTumour Response to nivolumab
To determine the anti-tumour activity of nivolumab, when given after temozolomide in patients with previously treated advanced oesophagogastric adenocarcinoma which are MGMT methylated.
Time frame: 24 months
The percentage of patients who have achieved response
The Disease control rate determine the effect of TMZ priming followed by nivolumab on disease control rates of patients with previously treated advanced oesophagogastric adenocarcinoma which is MGMT methylated. Disease control rate, according to RECIST v1.1 and iRECIST, 6 months after starting nivolumab, and 3 months after starting TMZ, respectively.
Time frame: 6 months
