an open label, multicenter phase 2 study of durvalumab (medi4736) + olaparib as maintenance therapy in chinese

Conditions: Lung Cancer; Small Cell Lung Cancer; Durvalumab

Summary: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combining durvalumab with ep followed by durvalumab + olaparib maintenance therapy as first-line treatment in patients with extensive-disease small-cell lung cancer (sclc).

this study is planned to enroll approximately 60 eligible patients in china. patients who fulfill all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will receive 4 cycles of ep with durvalumab, then durvalumab + olaparib will be administered post-chemotherapy until confirmed progressive disease (pd).tumor assessments will be performed at screening as baseline with follow-up at week 6 ±1 week from the date of the first cycle treatment, at week 12 ±1 week from the date of the first cycle treatment, and then every 8 weeks ±1 week until confirmed objective disease progression. the primary endpoint is apf12, which is defined as the proportion of patients alive and progression free at 12 months from the first date of the first-line treatment.

Eligibility criteria:
inclusion criteria: 1. male or female ≥18 years at the time of screening. 2. capable of giving signed informed consent which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (icf) and in this protocol. 3. written informed consent and any locally required authorization obtained from the patient/legal representative prior to performing any protocol-related procedures, including screening evaluations. 4. histologically or cytologically documented extensive disease (american joint committee on cancer stage (7th edition) iv sclc \[t any, n any, m1 a/b\]), or t3-4 due to multiple lung nodules that are too extensive or have tumor/nodal volume that is too large to be encompassed in a tolerable radiation plan. brain metastases; must be asymptomatic or treated and stable off steroids and anti-convulsants for at least 1 month prior to study treatment. patients with suspected brain metastases at screening should have a ct/mri of the brain prior to study entry. 5. provision of an archived tumor tissue block (or at least 15 newly cut unstained slides) where such samples exist. 6. patients must be considered suitable to receive a platinum based chemotherapy regimen as 1st line treatment for the ed-sclc. chemotherapy must contain either cisplatin or carboplatin in combination with etoposide. 7. life expectancy ≥16 weeks at day 1. 8. world health organization (who)/eastern cooperative oncology group (ecog) performance status of 0 to 2 at enrollment. ps2 patients are permitted to receive first-line treatment, and ps score
