Neoadjuvant Immunoradiation for Resectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

NCT03237377

Description:

This is a pilot study of neoadjuvant 'immunoradiation' (durvalumab or durvalumab plus tremelimumab) administered every 4 weeks for 2 doses, concurrently with standard thoracic radiation (RT) (45Gy in 25 fractions), with one dose of immunotherapy alone delivered in the pre-surgical window, prior to surgical resection, for patients with stage IIIA NSCLC that is deemed resectable with a lobectomy by a thoracic surgeon. If preliminary safety of the durvalumab/thoracic RT combination is established, a second cohort investigating the combination of durvalumab/tremelimumab/thoracic RT prior to surgical resection will be opened. After surgical resection, patients may receive standard adjuvant chemotherapy, as deemed appropriate by the treating investigator.
