Durvalumab Followed by Chemoradiation and Consolidation Durvalumab for Stage III Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Induction Durvalumab Followed by Chemoradiation and Consolidation Durvalumab (MEDI4736) for Stage III Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Single arm study of induction durvalumab (1500 mg IV) for 1 cycle (every 4 weeks), administered prior to starting concurrent definitive chemoradiation, followed by consolidation durvalumab (1500 mg IV every 4 weeks) for up to 12 cycles.

The study will include an initial safety run-in portion. Patients in the safety run-in will be monitored through completion of induction durvalumab, chemoradiation, and 2 cycles of consolidation durvalumab for assessment of safety prior to completion of enrollment.

Exclusion Criteria

Subjects meeting any of the criteria below may not participate in the study:

• Prior therapy for stage III NSCLC
• Mixed histology with small cell lung cancer will not be allowed.
• Sequential chemoradiation will not be permitted.
• Induction and consolidation chemotherapy (separate from concurrent chemoradiation) will not be allowed.
• Prior exposure to anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 antibodies including durvalumab.

• Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days before the first dose of durvalumab. The following are exceptions to this criterion:

  • Intranasal, inhaled, topical steroids, or local steroid injections (e.g., intra articular injection)
  • Systemic corticosteroids at physiologic doses not to exceed <<10 mg/day>> of prednisone or its equivalent
  • Steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., CT scan premedication)
• History of pulmonary fibrosis, interstitial lung disease, or pneumonitis requiring steroids.
• Active or prior documented autoimmune disease within the last 2 years. Patients with vitiligo, stable hypothyroidism, Grave's disease, or psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment are not excluded.
• Body weight < 30 kg
• Active and ongoing steroid use, except for non-systemically absorbed treatments (such as inhaled or topical steroid therapy for asthma, COPD, allergic rhinitis).
• Active infection requiring systemic therapy.
• Uncontrolled current illness that in the opinion of the investigator renders the investigational treatment plan unsafe.
• Receipt of live attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of IP. Note: Patients, if enrolled, should not receive live vaccine whilst receiving IP and up to 30 days after the last dose of IP.
• Major surgical procedure (as defined by the Investigator) within 28 days prior to the first dose of IP. NOTE: Local surgery of isolated lesions for palliative intent is acceptable.
• Active other malignancy; exceptions include basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, in situ cervical or bladder cancer.
• Active infection including tuberculosis (clinical evaluation that includes clinical history, physical examination and radiographic findings, and TB testing in line with local practice), hepatitis B (known positive HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) result), hepatitis C 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.
• Treatment with any investigational drug within 30 days prior to registration.
• History of organ transplantation (including allogeneic stem cell transplantation).
• Other medical or psychiatric conditions that in the opinion of the site investigator would preclude safe participation in this protocol.

Eligibility Criteria for Consolidation Durvalumab

• Patients must have recovered from toxicities associated with prior chemoradiation to CTCAE < Grade 2.
• Patients must not have progressed following chemoradiation therapy, as measured on imaging per RECIST 1.1.
• Confirmation of ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1.
• Any grade pneumonitis from prior chemoradiation will not be permitted.

Arms and Interventions

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: Induction durvalumab, chemoradiation, consolidation durvalumab; Induction durvalumab at 1500 mg intravenously (IV) on Day 1 of a four week cycle for 1 cycle, followed by concurrent definitive chemoradiation, followed by consolidation durvalumab at 1500 mg IV Day 1 of every 4 week cycle for up to 12 cycles.

Drug: Induction Durvalumab; Induction durvalumab at 1500 mg intravenously (IV) will be given on Day 1 of a four week cycle for 1 cycle,; Other Names: IMFINZI; Drug: Chemotherapy; Concurrent chemoradiation will be with platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin or carboplatin, with etoposide, taxane, or pemetrexed) selected at the treating physician's discretion. The chemotherapy regimen used should be administered per institutional standards following the prescribing guidelines for each drug; Other Names: cisplatin; carboplatin; pemetrexed; etoposide; taxane; Radiation: Radiation; Treatment will be delivered using IMRT or 3DCRT using typically 6-10MV photons per institutional standards. 4D simulation and appropriate IGRT are encouraged. Radiation therapy must begin within one week of the first day of chemotherapy (or vice versa). Therapy will be 1.8-2 Gy per day; 5 days per week, excluding holidays per institutional standard as this is a standard of care regimen for this patient population. 54-66 Gy will be delivered.; Drug: Consolidation durvalumab; Durvalumab at 1500 mg intravenously (IV) will be given on Day 1 of a four week cycle for 12 cycles; Other Names: IMFINZI

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
12-Month Progression Free Survival (PFS)	12-month progression-free survival will be measured using imaging after completion of chemoradiation, prior to C1 consolidation durvalumab (1-42 days after completion of chemoradiation) per RECIST 1.1. RECIST 1.1 Criteria for Response are: Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started	From the time of treatment initiation until progression, up to 12 months
Evaluate the Safety and Feasibility of Induction Durvalumab Using NCI CTCAE v5.0 for Toxicity Grading.	All subjects receiving at least one dose of durvalumab will be evaluable for toxicity. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5.0, will be used for toxicity grading. Please refer to the study calendar for the schedule of toxicity assessment.	12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Objective Response Rate (ORR)	ORR will be measured using two timepoints, per RECIST 1.1. "ORR1" will be assessed using baseline imaging in comparison to imaging obtained after completion of induction durvalumab and chemoradiation. "ORR2" will be assessed using imaging after completion of induction durvalumab and chemoradiation in comparison to imaging obtained while receiving, and after completion of, consolidation durvalumab. RECIST 1.1 Criteria for response are as follows: Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest	12 months
