BrUOG 397: NEO Rad (LOW): Neoadjuvant Low Dose Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy, Ipilimumab and Nivolumab for Patients With Resectable Stage IB - III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

🟢 Recruiting Phase2 💊 Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Brown University

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This single-arm phase 2 study will enroll patients with resectable and operable stage IB - III non-small cell lung cancer and treat them with pre-operative ipilimumab + nivolumab plus low-dose stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) delivered concurrently. Only patients who proceed to surgery will be evaluable for the primary endpoint. The primary efficacy outcome measurement will be pathologic response (including Major Pathologic Response (MPR), and Complete Pathologic Response (CPR)). Secondary outcome measures include safety, and exploratory biomarkers of immune response in pre- and post-operative blood and tissue. A two-stage design will stop the study if fewer than 3 of the first 9 evaluable patients do not achieve MPR. An early stopping rule for safety will stop the study if more than 12 patients are enrolled to find the first 9 evaluable patients.

Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (24 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (25 items).

Location: Rhode Island Hospital — Providence, Rhode Island

Instant Checklist

Check every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).

Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:

  • Exclusion Criteria:
  • Pathologically confirmed NSCLC \*
  • Age \> 18 \*
  • ECOG Performance Status 0-1.
  • Pulmonary function capacity capable of tolerating the proposed lung resection. FEV1 at least 2 L. If less than 2 L, the predicted postoperative forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) must be \> 0.8 L or be \> 35% of the predicted value. Postoperative predicted DLCO ≥ 35% is required.
  • Resectable stage IB-IIIB (T2-3N0, T1-T3N1-2) NSCLC (per the 8th Edition American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) classification) who are candidates for surgery with intent of R0 resection. Invasive T3 disease (eg, phrenic nerve, pericardium, chest wall other than Pancoast superior sulcus) may be included if the surgeon and study team deem it to be resectable.
  • N2 nodes must be discrete (ie, not invading surrounding structures). If patients have N2 disease, as suspected by CT or PET, histologic proof of N2 status is recommended.
  • Patients must be evaluated by a Thoracic Surgeon prior to registration. Operability is defined as having adequate pulmonary, cardiac, renal, nutritional, musculoskeletal, neurologic, and cognitive capacity to undergo major pulmonary resection with acceptable morbidity and mortality. Absence of major associated comorbidities that increase the surgery risk to an unacceptable level. \*
  • No prior history of thoracic radiation.
  • Adequate Organ and marrow function as defined below
  • leukocytes ≥2,000/mcL,
  • absolute neutrophil count ≥1,000/mcL,
