Pembrolizumab and Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy or Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Small Cell Lung Cancer
Phase I Trial of MK-3475 and Concurrent Chemo/Radiation for the Elimination of Small Cell Lung Cancer
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Safety of pembrolizumab (MK 3475) plus chemotherapy (chemo)/radiation for limited-stage small-cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC).
II. Safety of MK-3475 plus radiation for extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. MK-3475 will improve progression free survival (PFS) compared to historical controls for LS-SCLC and ES-SCLC.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of pembrolizumab. Patients are assigned to either Part A or Part B based on diagnosis.
PART A (LS-SCLC): Patients receive pembrolizumab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day 1 and undergo radiation therapy twice daily (BID) 5 days a week for 3 weeks. Patients also receive cisplatin IV over 2 hours or carboplatin IV over 30 minutes and etoposide IV over 4 hours on days 1, 2, and 3. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 16 courses (1 course for radiation therapy, 4 courses for chemotherapy) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who achieve systemic disease control and do not exhibit severe (grade > 3) pembrolizumab related toxicity during/after completion of 16 courses may receive 16 additional courses of pembrolizumab in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
PART B (ES-SCLC): Beginning after the completion of chemotherapy, patients receive pembrolizumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1 and undergo radiation therapy BID 5 days a week for 3 weeks. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 16 courses (1 course for radiation therapy) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, all patients are followed up at 30 days and then every 12 weeks.

- Has had prior chemotherapy, targeted small molecule therapy, within 2 weeks prior to study day 1 or who has not recovered (i.e., =< grade 1 or at baseline) from adverse events due to a previously administered agent; prior radiation does not require a washout period; note: subjects with =< grade 2 neuropathy are an exception to this criterion and may qualify for the study; note: if subject received major surgery, they must have recovered adequately from the toxicity and/or complications from the intervention prior to starting therapy

- Has known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis; subjects with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are stable (without evidence of progression by imaging for at least four weeks prior to the first dose of trial treatment and any neurologic symptoms have returned to baseline), have no evidence of new or enlarging brain metastases, and are not using steroids for at least 7 days prior to trial treatment
- Has an active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment within the past 3 months or a documented history of clinically severe autoimmune disease, or a syndrome that requires systemic steroids or immunosuppressive agents; subjects with vitiligo or resolved childhood asthma/atopy would be an exception to this rule; subjects that require intermittent use of bronchodilators or local steroid injections would not be excluded from the study; subjects with hypothyroidism stable on hormone replacement or Sjogren's syndrome will not be excluded from the study
