ADMIRAL Trial: Adaptive Mediastinal Radiation With Chemo-Immunotherapy

NCT04372927

Description:

This phase II trial studies two questions in patients with stage III NSCLC: 1) does it improve cancer control to add the drug Durvalumab, a type of immunotherapy, earlier in the treatment course; and 2) by intensifying treatment with durvalumab, is it possible to avoid mediastinal radiation to decrease side effects, without decreasing cancer control?

Purpose

This phase II trial studies two questions in patients with stage III NSCLC: 1) does it improve cancer control to add the drug Durvalumab, a type of immunotherapy, earlier in the treatment course; and 2) by intensifying treatment with durvalumab, is it possible to avoid mediastinal radiation to decrease side effects, without decreasing cancer control?

Detailed Description

      OUTLINE:

      Patients will receive platinum doublet chemotherapy per standard of care with durvalumab for
      8 weeks, concurrent with a short course of radiation to the primary lung tumor. Patients will
      then undergo repeat evaluation of the mediastinal lymph nodes. If there is no cancer in the
      lymph nodes, patients will receive 2 years of adjuvant durvalumab. If there is still cancer
      in the lymph nodes, patients will receive 6 weeks of radiation to the mediastinal lymph
      nodes, and 2 years of adjuvant durvalumab.

      After the completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 12 months.

Treatment (chemotherapy, durvalumab, radiation therapy)ExperimentalPatients with squamous cell cancer receive standard of care chemotherapy consisting of cisplatin on days 1, 8, 29, and 36, and etoposide on days 1-5 and 29-33. Cycles repeat every 4 weeks for up to 2 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with non-squamous cell cancer receive standard of care chemotherapy consisting of cisplatin and pemetrexed on days 1, 21, and 42. Cycles repeat every 3 weeks for up to 3 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. All patients receive durvalumab IV over 1 hour Q4W. Radiation to the primary tumor will be given over 8-15 fractions during weeks 1-3 of chemotherapy. For patients who have residual disease in the mediastinal lymph nodes at week 9, radiation will be given to the lymph nodes starting week 11. Durvalumab is given for 2 years after completion of radiationin the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Progression-free survival rate (PFS)
Time Frame:From study registration to progression per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1, symptomatic deterioration, or death due to any cause, whichever comes first, assessed at 1 year after treatment
Safety Issue:
Description:Will be evaluated using the method of Kaplan-Meier. Confidence intervals for median times will be determined using the Brookmeyer-Crowley method. Confidence intervals around landmark times will be determined using Greenwood's formula for the variance and based on a log-log transformation applied on the survival function. Binary proportions will be calculated with associated confidence intervals for binary outcomes, such as response. Means and/or medians will be calculated for continuous outcomes. Confidence bounds will be provided for means and quartiles and ranges for median values. All confidence bounds will be presented as 95% bounds.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Frequency and severity of pneumonitis
Time Frame:Up to 12 months after treatment
Safety Issue:
Description:The primary toxicity of interest is grade 3 or higher pneumonitis. The incidence of grade 3 or worse pneumonitis attributable to treatment will be evaluated and compared against the PACIFIC trial results. All toxicities of all grades will be monitored on study and reported. Binary proportions will be calculated with associated confidence intervals for binary outcomes, such as toxicity.
Measure:Overall survival (OS)
Time Frame:From study registration to death due to any cause, assessed up to 12 months after treatment
Safety Issue:
Description:Will be evaluated using the method of Kaplan-Meier. Confidence intervals for median times will be determined using the Brookmeyer-Crowley method. Confidence intervals around landmark times will be determined using Greenwood's formula for the variance and based on a log-log transformation applied on the survival function. Binary proportions will be calculated with associated confidence intervals for binary outcomes, such as response. Means and/or medians will be calculated for continuous outcomes.

Description:Frequency and severity of toxicities will be graded with Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5. Toxicities will be summarized as the proportion of patients with such toxicities, in addition to total number of toxicities (allowing for multiple toxicities within a patient) among all patients. All toxicities of all grades will be monitored on study and reported. Binary proportions will be calculated with associated confidence intervals for binary outcomes, such as toxicity.
