Purpose

This is a Phase II, open-label, multi-centre study to determine the safety of a fixed dose of Durvalumab (MEDI4736) (1500 mg) every 4 weeks [q4w] in participants with unresectable Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), who have not progressed following platinum-based sequential chemoradiation therapy (sCRT). This study will be conducted in Europe and North America.

Detailed Description

      This is a Phase II, open-label, multi-centre study to determine safety of a fixed dose of
      Durvalumab (MEDI4736) (1500 mg) monotherapy in participants with unresectable Stage III NSCLC
      who have not progressed following definitive, platinum-based sCRT. Approximately, 150
      participants will be treated with the study drug in Europe and North America. Participants
      will be in complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or have stable disease (SD)
      following definitive, platinum-based sCRT, as assessed by the Investigator and further
      supported by the screening imaging radiological assessment. Participants must not have
      progressed following definitive, platinum-based sCRT; radiation therapy must be completed
      within 42 days prior to first Investigational product (IP) dose administration. Participants
      must have histologically- or cytologically-documented NSCLC and locally-advanced,
      unresectable Stage III disease. Participants will be treated with the study drug in 2
      cohorts: approximately 100-120 participants in the World Health Organization/Eastern
      Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (WHO/ECOG PS) 0 to 1 Cohort and up to 30
      participants in the WHO/ECOG PS 2 Cohort.

             Positron emission tomography (PET)/CT, MRI of the brain, and endobronchial ultrasound
             with biopsy are highly encouraged at diagnosis.

          6. Receipt of sCRT which must have been completed within 42 days prior to first IP dose
             administration in the study.

               1. The platinum-based chemotherapy regimen must contain cisplatin or carboplatin and
                  1 of the following agents: etoposide, vinblastine, vinorelbine, a taxane
                  (paclitaxel or docetaxel), or pemetrexed, according to the local standard of care
                  (SoC) regimens. Platinum-based chemotherapy containing cisplatin or carboplatin
                  and gemcitabine is permitted under certain conditions - refer to bullet point
                  6(b).

               2. Patients must have received at least 2 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy
                  before radiation therapy. The interval between administration of the last dose of
                  chemotherapy regimen and start of radiation therapy must be no more than 6 weeks.
                  Consolidation chemotherapy after radiation is not permitted.

             between chemotherapy and radiation therapy is permitted.

             (ii) If the patient's platinum-based chemotherapy contained any of the agents listed
             in (a) other than gemcitabine, an overlap of 1 cycle of chemotherapy and radiation

             <35% or V30 <30%. Note: Sites should be aware of the recent RTOG 0617 Study data
             demonstrating that doses higher than 60 Gy may be associated with greater toxicity and
             worse efficacy.

             (d) Patients with WHO/ECOG PS 2 or chronic lung disease (pulmonary emphysema or
             chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) must have received a V20 <25%.

             assessed RECIST 1.1 criteria. . In order to assess disease progression, the baseline
             imaging (CT/MRI) used for Screening purposes should be compared against the most
             recently performed scan that allows physician assessment as per RECIST 1.1 criteria.
             If an intermediate scan taken between chemotherapy and radiotherapy is available and
             that scan is suitable for physician assessment as per RECIST 1.1 criteria, then this
