Cisplatin, Docetaxel, and Nintedanib Before Surgery in Treating Patients With Previously Untreated Stage IB-IIIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Phase I Study of Induction Cisplatin, Docetaxel, and Nintedanib for Stage IB-IIIA Non-Small Cell Lung Cancers Amenable for Surgical Resection

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of nintedanib when given together with cisplatin and docetaxel and to see how well they work in treating patients with previously untreated stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer who are undergoing surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Nintedanib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving cisplatin, docetaxel, and nintedanib before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine safety of nintedanib incorporated to chemotherapy in the induction setting.

II. To determine the major pathologic response rate in patients treated with induction nintedanib and chemotherapy.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Response rates to induction treatment (by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] version 1.1).

II. Response rates to priming therapy with nintedanib single agent (by computed tomography [CT] assessment using RECIST version 1.1).

III. Recurrence-free survival. IV. Overall survival. V. Correlations between major pathologic response with recurrence-free and overall survival.

VI. Toxicity (assessed by the National Cancer Institute [NCI] Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE] version 4).

VII. Peri-operative morbidity and mortality. VIII. Complete resection (R0) rate. IX. Correlations of response assessed by imaging studies with outcomes (both pathologic response to treatment and long-term recurrence-free survival).

X. Correlations of blood- and tissue-based biomarkers with efficacy and toxicity.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of nintedanib.

RUN-IN PHASE: Patients receive induction therapy comprising cisplatin intravenously (IV) over 2 hours on day 1, docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1, and nintedanib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) from day 2 of course 1 to day 7 of course 3. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then undergo surgery.

EXPANSION PHASE: Patients receive single-agent nintedanib PO BID on days 1-28. Patients then receive 3 courses of induction chemotherapy and undergo surgery as above. Treatment continues even if patients experience disease progression, unless treatment is judged to be not in the best interest of the patient by the treating physician.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up within 8 weeks and then periodically thereafter.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

• Histologically or cytologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer; patients with a suspected lung cancer are eligible, but pathology must be confirmed prior to initiating treatment on study; neuroendocrine carcinomas are not eligible; carcinomas with neuroendocrine differentiation are eligible
• Stage IB (with a primary tumor >= 4 cm), IIA, IIB, or IIIA (according to American Joint Committee on Cancer [AJCC] 7th edition); patients with stage IIIA must not have more than one mediastinal lymph node station involved by tumor

• The patient must be a suitable candidate for surgery, in the opinion of the treating physician
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score 0-1
• Signed and dated written informed consent prior to admission to the study in accordance with International Conference on Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH)-Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines and to the local legislation

Exclusion Criteria:

• Prior systemic therapy or radiation therapy for treatment of the current lung cancer
• Known hypersensitivity to the trial drugs or to their excipients
• Centrally located tumors with radiographic evidence (CT or magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) of local invasion of major blood vessels
• Major injuries within the past 10 days prior to start of study treatment with incomplete wound healing
• History of clinically significant hemorrhagic or thromboembolic event in the past 6 months
• Known inherited predisposition to bleeding or thrombosis
• Significant cardiovascular diseases (i.e. uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina, history of infarction within the past 12 months prior to start of study treatment, congestive heart failure > New York Heart Association [NYHA] II, serious cardiac arrhythmia, pericardial effusion)
• Creatinine > 1.5 x the upper limit of normal; patients with creatinine > 1.5 x the upper limit of normal who have creatinine clearance >= 60 cc/min (calculated using the Cockcroft and Gault equation) are eligible
• Total bilirubin > institutional upper limit of normal or
• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal
• International normalized ratio (INR) > 2
• Prothrombin time (PT) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) > 50% of deviation of institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 1500/ml, and/or
• Platelets < 100000/ml
• Prior malignancy requiring systemic therapy or radiation therapy within 1 year of randomization
• Active serious infections in particular if requiring systemic antibiotic or antimicrobial therapy
• Known disease or history of active or chronic hepatitis C and/or B infection
• Gastrointestinal disorders or abnormalities that would interfere with absorption of the study drug
• Serious illness or concomitant non-oncological disease such as neurologic, psychiatric, infectious disease or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug administration and in the judgment of the investigator would make the patient inappropriate for entry into the study
• Patients who are sexually active, with preserved reproductive capacity, and unwilling to use a medically acceptable method of contraception (e.g. such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some intrauterine devices or vasectomized partner for participating females, condoms for participating males) during the trial and for at least three months after end of active therapy
