Neoadjuvant Cemiplimab for the Treatment of Resectable NSCLC, HCC, and HNSCC

NCT03916627

Description:

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the clinical activity of neoadjuvant cemiplimab therapy in patients with resectable Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) lesions, as measured by pathological evaluations of resected tumors. The secondary objectives of the study are: - To assess the anti-tumor activity of neoadjuvant and adjuvant cemiplimab therapy as defined by multiple criteria - To determine the safety and tolerability of neoadjuvant and adjuvant cemiplimab therapy including delay to surgery - To assess the change in tumor-infiltrating CD8 T-cell density and to explore the correlation to the pathological response to therapy

Eligibility Criteria

        Key Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Patient must have a known diagnosis of NSCLC, HCC, or HNSCC as defined in the protocol

          -  Patient must be willing and able to provide blood samples at the indicated time points

          -  Patient must be willing and able to have excisional or core needle biopsies of tumor
             prior to initiation of cemiplimab as defined in the protocol

          -  Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1

          -  Patient is determined to be a surgical candidate for resection of their tumor

          -  Adequate organ and bone marrow function as defined in the protocol

        Key Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Patients who have had any systemic anti-cancer therapy or radiotherapy within 6 months
             prior to entering the study for their current tumor or a different primary tumor

          -  Patients whose tumor burden, or pace of tumor growth, in the opinion of the
             Investigator will not permit delaying surgery

          -  Patients who have participated in a study of an investigational agent or an
             investigational device within 4 weeks of study therapy or 5 half-lives (whichever is
             longer)

          -  Patients who have had major surgery within 14 days prior to initiation of neoadjuvant
             Therapy

          -  Patients with metastatic disease for whom the intent of surgery would not be curative

          -  Uncontrolled, intercurrent illness as defined in the protocol and as determined by the
             Investigator

          -  Is receiving systemic steroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy
             within 7 days prior to the first dose of study treatment

          -  Has active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 1 year

          -  Has a known, additional malignancy that is progressing and/or requires active
             treatment. Exceptions include patients with: basal cell carcinoma of the skin or
             squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has undergone potentially curative therapy;
             in situ cervical or anal cancer; prostate cancer on stable dose of hormonal therapy
             without rising PSA; breast cancer who have been treated with curative intent, who may
             be on hormonal therapy.

          -  Encephalitis, meningitis, or uncontrolled seizures in the year prior to informed
             consent

          -  History of interstitial lung disease (eg, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing
             pneumonia) or active, noninfectious pneumonitis that required immune-suppressive doses
             of glucocorticoids to assist with management. A history of radiation pneumonitis in
             the radiation field is permitted as long as pneumonitis resolved ≥6 months prior to
             study treatment.

          -  Uncontrolled infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), HBV or hepatitis C
             infection (HCV); or diagnosis of immunodeficiency as defined in the protocol
