Brief Summary: This phase II trial compares tuvusertib in combination with avelumab to tuvusertib alone to determine whether the combination therapy will lengthen the time before the cancer starts getting worse in patients with Merkel cell cancer that has not responded to previous treatment refractory Tuvusertib is a drug that inhibits an enzyme called ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3 related ATR kinase which is an enzyme that plays a role in repair of damaged deoxyribonucleic acid DNA as well as tumor cell replication and survival It may lead to tumor cell death by inhibiting ATR kinase activity Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies such as avelumab may help the bodys immune system attack the cancer and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread Giving tuvusertib in combination with avelumab may lengthen the time before Merkel cell cancer starts getting worse compared to giving avelumab alone
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVE

I To compare the potential efficacy using progression free survival PFS of ATR inhibition alone to ATR inhibition plus anti-PD-L1 therapy through a randomized clinical trial for patients with advanced Merkel cell carcinoma MCC who have progressed on anti-PDL1 therapy

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES

I To compare the clinical activity of ATR inhibition alone to that in combination with avelumab through a randomized clinical trial for patients with advanced MCC that has progressed after PD-1 pathway blockade

II To identify gene expression-based immunologic replication stress neuroendocrine NE differentiation signatures predictive of response to ATR inhibition in advanced immunotherapy-refractory MCC tumors through ribonucleic acid sequencing RNAseq

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES

I To examine the association of various biomarkers with the clinical activity of ATR inhibition alone or in combination with PD-L1 pathway blockade

II To explore the safety and efficacy PFS overall response rate ORR and overall survival OS of the addition of avelumab to M1774 after documented progressive disease of M1774 monotherapy

OUTLINE Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms

ARM 1 Patients receive tuvusertib orally PO once daily QD on days 1-14 of each cycle Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Patients also undergo computed tomography CT positron emission tomography PETCT or magnetic resonance imaging MRI biopsy and collection of blood and stoolrectal swabs at screening and on study Patients with documented progression may cross over to Arm 2

ARM 2 Patients receive tuvusertib PO QD on days 1-14 of each cycle and avelumab intravenously IV over 60 minutes on day 1 of each cycle Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Patients also undergo CT PETCT or MRI biopsy and collection of blood and stool at screening and on study

After completion of study treatment patients are followed up at 30 days and then every 6 months for 2 years from the last dose of treatment
