Brief Summary

This study encompasses two multicenter, prospective, open-labeled, 2-arm, non-comparative randomized phase II trials to assess the antitumor activity of bintrafusp alfa in association with doxorubicin

Recovery to grade ≤ 1 from any adverse event derived from previous treatment (excluding alopecia and vitiligo of any grade and non-painful peripheral neuropathy grade ≤ 2) according to to NCI-CTCAE, version 5.0, 15. Voluntarily signed and dated written informed consent prior to any study specific procedure, 16. Patients with a social security in compliance with the French law. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Previous treatment with doxorubicin, daunorubicin, epirubicin, idarubicin and/or any other anthracyclines or anthracediones at the maximum cumulative dose or any approved or investigational treatment targeting PD1, PD-L1 or TGFB1, 2. Known central nervous system malignancy (CNS), 3. Men or women of childbearing potential who are not using an effective method of contraception as previously described; women who are pregnant or breast feeding, 4. Participation to a study involving a medical or therapeutic intervention in the last 30 days, 5. Previous enrolment in the present study, 6.
