Open label multicentric phase II randomized trial, using high throughput genome analysis as a
therapeutic decision tool, which aims at comparing a targeted treatment administered
according to the identified molecular anomalies of the tumor with maintenance chemotherapy
(targeted substudy 1) as well as immunotherapy with maintenance chemotherapy in patients
without actionable genomic alterations or non eligible to substudy 1 (immune substudy 2).
Screening phase:
New frozen biopsy or an archived frozen sample or ctDNA sample will be sent to the genomic
platforms for DNA extraction and genomic analysis (DNA microarrays and Next generation
sequencing).
Patients can be considered as pre-eligible for the targeted substudy 1 randomisation phase
when both following mandatory conditions have been met: stable or responding disease has been
observed (investigator judgment) after 6 to 8 cycles of chemotherapy (or at least after 4
cycles of chemotherapy if stopped for toxicity) and targetable alteration has been identified
by the Molecular Tumor Board (MTB).
If not eligible for the substudy 1 randomisation phase, patients can be considered as
pre-eligible for the immune substudy 2 randomization phase when both following mandatory
conditions are met: stable or responding disease (investigator judgment) is observed after 6
to 8 cycles of chemotherapy (or at least after 4 cycles if treatment was stopped due to
toxicity) AND not eligible to randomization in the substudy 1 (because patient had no
targetable alteration identified by the Molecular Tumor Board, or failed to have a genomic
profile for the tumor [low tumor cells percentage, technical issue during genomic analysis,
etc.], or a non inclusion criteria that precluded entry into the substudy 1)
Randomization phase:
The mandatory post-chemotherapy wash-out period, of 28 days for 21 or 28 day-cycle
chemotherapies or of 15 days for weekly (except monoclonal antibodies) or daily
chemotherapies,will provide time to achieve all the required tests and examinations.
The randomization program will allocate the following treatments with a 2:1 ratio in favor of
Arm A of the considered substudy:
Substudy 1 : targeted therapies versus standard maintenance chemotherapy
- Arm A1 / targeted arm: targeted maintenance from a list of 8 targeted drugs guided by
the genomic analysis, or
- Arm B1 / chemotherapy arm : maintenance chemotherapy (or no antineoplastic treatment in
case of toxicity at the time of randomization)
Substudy 2 : immunotherapy versus standard maintenance chemotherapy
- Arm A2 / immunotherapy maintenance arm: MEDI4736 or
- Arm B2 / chemotherapy arm: chemotherapy continued as a maintenance chemotherapy (or no
antineoplastic treatment in case of toxicity)
