Phase Ib Study of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) in Oligometastatic Non-small Lung Cancer (NSCLC) With Dual Immune Checkpoint Inhibition

NCT03275597

Description:

This is a phase Ib study to evaluate safety and tolerability of dual checkpoint inhibition (DCI) of durvalumab (anti-PD-L1) and tremelimumab (anti-CTLA-4) with SBRT in the treatment of oligometastatic NSCLC. This study will examine the sequential delivery of SBRT to all disease sites followed by combination of durvalumab and tremelimumab for patients for whom the goal is ablating all known sites of disease. The investigators anticipate that for many participants this will be the first line-therapy. Participants who have received prior-platinum-based chemotherapy and/or any line of prior chemotherapy are eligible. Prior immunotherapy treatment is not allowed.

                       failure, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac
                       arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit
                       compliance with study requirement, substantially increase risk of incurring
                       AEs from durvalumab or tremelimumab, or compromise the ability of the
                       patient to give written informed consent

Maximum Eligible Age:N/A
Minimum Eligible Age:18 Years
Eligible Gender:All
Healthy Volunteers:No

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Safety and tolerability of SBRT followed by combined durvalumab and tremelimumab, assessed by CTCAE v4.03
Time Frame:Up to 3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Toxicities will be summarized by type and severity in tabular format. Toxicity rates (grade 2, grade 3, grade 4, grade ≥ 2, grade ≥ 3, etc.) will be calculated and reported along the corresponding 95% confidence intervals. The 95% confidence intervals will be constructed using the Wilson score method.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Progression Free Survival assessed with RECIST 1.1 tumor assessments
Time Frame:Up to 4 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Progression-free survival (PFS) will be defined as the difference (in months) between the date of study enrollment and the date of disease progression or death due to any cause. PFS will be analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the Brookmeyer-Crowley method will be used to construct the 95% confidence interval for the median PFS. PFS assessed with RECIST 1.1 tumor assessments. The effect of DCI with durvalumab and tremelimumab will be compared against historical controls for a 95% CI and p-value.
Measure:Overall Survival assessed with RECIST 1.1 tumor assessments
Time Frame:Up to 4 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Overall survival (OS) will be defined as the difference (in months) between the date of study enrollment to the date death due to any cause. OS will be analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the Brookmeyer-Crowley method will be used to construct the 95% confidence interval for the median OS. The effect of DCI with durvalumab tremelimumab will be compared against historical controls for a 95% CI and p-value.
