Study of Durvalumab + Tremelimumab in NSCLC Patients After Adjuvant Treatment

NCT04625699

Description:

The purpose of this study is to determine whether it is feasible and safe to give research participants investigational treatment with durvalumab and tremelimumab after they have completed standard treatment for NSCLC and once they have detectable circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in the blood before there is evidence of disease recurrence on imaging studies. These investigational agents are a type of immunotherapy, which is a treatment that activates your own body's immune system to treat cancer.

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine whether it is feasible and safe to give research participants investigational treatment with durvalumab and tremelimumab after they have completed standard treatment for NSCLC and once they have detectable circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in the blood before there is evidence of disease recurrence on imaging studies. These investigational agents are a type of immunotherapy, which is a treatment that activates your own body's immune system to treat cancer.

Detailed Description

      This is an open label, single arm, pilot study of adjuvant durvalumab+ tremelimumab (D+T) for
      patients with stage II-IIIB (excluding N3) NSCLC.The trial will evaluate the feasibility of
      adjuvant D+T in patients who have undergone surgical resection and standard of care (SOC)
      adjuvant treatment and subsequently develop detectable plasma ctDNA. 15 evaluable patients
      will be enrolled. Patients with resected stage II-IIIB (excluding N3) NSCLC who have
      completed adjuvant standard of care treatment will be pre-screened and consented for the
      trial. They will undergo ctDNA testing with the Signatera assay at the completion of adjuvant
      treatment and every 4 months thereafter with standard CT imaging assessment up to 1 year.
      Patients with detectable ctDNA at a mutant allele frequency of >0.1% and no evidence of
      recurrence on CT imaging will be enrolled in the trial. They will receive durvalumab every 4
      weeks for 4 cycles and tremelimuamb on cycles 1 and 3 with concomitant plasma ctDNA
      quantification. Patients will be followed with standard CT imaging of the chest as well as
      routine and exploratory blood tests every 4 months until 1 year after completion of D+T. They
      will also be followed for up to 3 years for determination of DFS and OS.

          -  Patients with active hepatitis B or C infections or a history of HIV infection. These
             participants will be ineligible due to potential for worsening of infection with the
             use of immunotherapy. Patients with a past or resolved HBV infection (defined as the
             presence of hepatitis B core antibody [anti-HBc] and absence of HBsAg) are eligible.
             Patients positive for hepatitis C (HCV) antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain
             reaction is negative for HCV RNA.

          -  History of active primary immunodeficiency

          -  Known clinically significant liver disease, including active viral, alcoholic, or
             other hepatitis; cirrhosis; fatty liver; and inherited liver disease Known

             inflammatory bowel disease [e.g., colitis or Crohn's disease], diverticulitis [with
             the exception of diverticulosis], systemic lupus erythematosus, Sarcoidosis syndrome,
             or Wegener syndrome [granulomatosis with polyangiitis, Graves' disease, rheumatoid
             arthritis, hypophysitis, uveitis, etc]). The following are exceptions to this
             criterion: Patients with vitiligo or alopecia; hypothyroidism (e.g., following
             Hashimoto syndrome) stable on hormone replacement; any chronic skin condition that
             does not require systemic therapy; patients without active autoimmune disease in the
             last 5 years may be included but only after consultation with the study physician;
             celiac disease controlled by diet alone

          -  Uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including but not limited to, ongoing or active
             infection, including TB, symptomatic congestive heart failure, uncontrolled
             hypertension, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, interstitial lung disease,
             serious chronic gastrointestinal conditions associated with diarrhea, or psychiatric
             illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirement,
             substantially increase risk of incurring AEs or compromise the ability of the patient
             to give written informed consent

          -  Major surgical procedure within 28 days prior to Cycle 1, Day 1 or anticipation of
             need for a major surgical procedure, excluding lung cancer resection, during the

          -  Administration of a live, attenuated vaccine within 30 days before Cycle 1, Day 1 or
             anticipation that such a live, attenuated vaccine will be required during the study.

          -  Patients, if enrolled, should not receive live vaccine whilst receiving treatment and
             up to 30 days after durvalumab, tremelimumab administration.

          -  History of interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis of any cause

          -  Pregnant women are excluded from this study because durvalumab and tremelimumab are
             investigational agents with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects.
             Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants
             secondary to treatment of the mother with durvalumab and tremelimumab, breastfeeding
             should be discontinued if the mother is treated with durvalumab and tremelimumab.
