SBRT Combined With Avelumab (Anti-PD-L1) for Management of Early Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

August 1, 2024 updated by: Andrew Sharabi

Phase I/II Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) Combined With Concurrent and Adjuvant Avelumab for Definitive Management of Early Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

The purpose of the study is to determine whether avelumab has an effect on cancer and body in combination with SBRT, a standard treatment for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Avelumab is considered experimental because it is not approved by the United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of cancer. It is a type of drug called a monoclonal antibody (a type of protein). Monoclonal antibodies are made to recognize, target and bind to specific proteins on the cells that make up your tissues. Avelumab is designed to block the interaction between PD-1, a known immune checkpoint, and PD-L1. By blocking this interaction, the immune system may be stimulated, allowing it to more effectively recognize and attack the cancer.

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) is a type of radiation that uses precise targeting to deliver a high dose of radiation to the tumor over a short period of time. A positioning cushion such as Vac-lok will be used during radiation treatment that is custom made. This custom mold forms to the contours of the subjects body to allow for proper positioning comfort and stability.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a single arm open label Phase I/II study that will consist of two parts. In Phase I, investigators will assess the safety and tolerability of SBRT combined with Avelumab. In Phase II, investigators will determine whether SBRT combined with Avelumab improves relapse free survival. Subjects with Stage I NSCLC who are not undergoing surgical resection will be candidates for enrollment. Subjects will receive definitive stereotactic body radiation (SBRT) in 4-5 fractions combined with concurrent and adjuvant Avelumab at 10mg/kg for a total of 6 cycles. Subjects will be evaluated for safety as measured by the occurrence of adverse events, serious adverse events, and laboratory abnormalities. Three blood draws will be obtained to analyze anti-tumor immune responses and immune correlates.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study
