A Study to Determine Safety of Durvalumab After Sequential Chemo Radiation in Patients With Unresectable Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This is a Phase II, open-label, multi-centre study to determine the safety of a fixed dose of Durvalumab (MEDI4736) (1500 mg) every 4 weeks [q4w] in participants with unresectable Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), who have not progressed following platinum-based sequential chemoradiation therapy (sCRT). This study will be conducted in Europe and North America.

Detailed Description
-----------------
This is a Phase II, open-label, multi-centre study to determine safety of a fixed dose of Durvalumab (MEDI4736) (1500 mg) monotherapy in participants with unresectable Stage III NSCLC who have not progressed following definitive, platinum-based sCRT. Approximately, 150 participants will be treated with the study drug in Europe and North America. Participants will be in complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or have stable disease (SD) following definitive, platinum-based sCRT, as assessed by the Investigator and further supported by the screening imaging radiological assessment. Participants must not have progressed following definitive, platinum-based sCRT; radiation therapy must be completed within 42 days prior to first Investigational product (IP) dose administration. Participants must have histologically- or cytologically-documented NSCLC and locally-advanced, unresectable Stage III disease. Participants will be treated with the study drug in 2 cohorts: approximately 100-120 participants in the World Health Organization/Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (WHO/ECOG PS) 0 to 1 Cohort and up to 30 participants in the WHO/ECOG PS 2 Cohort.

Eligibility Criteria
-----------------
Inclusion criteria: Capable of giving signed informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the ICF and in this protocol. Provision of signed and dated, written ICF prior to any mandatory study specific procedures, sampling, and analyses. Provision of signed and dated written genetic informed consent prior to collection of sample for genetic analysis (optional). 18 years or older at the time of signing the ICF. Histologically- or cytologically-documented NSCLC with locally-advanced, unresectable Stage III disease (according to the IASLC Staging Manual Version 8 [IASLC 2016]). Positron emission tomography (PET)/CT, MRI of the brain, and endobronchial ultrasound with biopsy are highly encouraged at diagnosis. Receipt of sCRT which must have been completed within 42 days prior to first IP dose administration in the study. The platinum-based chemotherapy regimen must contain cisplatin or carboplatin and 1 of the following agents: etoposide, vinblastine, vinorelbine, a taxane (paclitaxel or docetaxel), or pemetrexed, according to the local standard of care (SoC) regimens. Platinum-based chemotherapy containing cisplatin or carboplatin and gemcitabine is permitted under certain conditions - refer to bullet point 6(b). Patients must have received at least 2 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy before radiation therapy. The interval between administration of the last dose of chemotherapy regimen and start of radiation therapy must be no more than 6 weeks. Consolidation chemotherapy after radiation is not permitted. (i) If the patient's platinum-based chemotherapy contained gemcitabine, no overlap between chemotherapy and radiation therapy is permitted. (ii) If the patient's platinum-based chemotherapy contained any of the agents listed in (a) other than gemcitabine, an overlap of 1 cycle of chemotherapy and radiation therapy is acceptable. (c) Patients must have received a total dose of radiation of 60 Gy ±10% (54 Gy to 66 Gy). Sites are encouraged to adhere to mean organ radiation dosing as follows: (i) Mean lung dose <20 Gy and/or V20 <35%; (ii) Mean oesophagus <34 Gy; (iii) Heart V45 <35% or V30 <30%. Note: Sites should be aware of the recent RTOG 0617 Study data demonstrating that doses higher than 60 Gy may be associated with greater toxicity and worse efficacy. (d) Patients with WHO/ECOG PS 2 or chronic lung disease (pulmonary emphysema or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) must have received a V20 <25%. Patients must not have progressed following platinum-based sCRT, as per Investigator assessed RECIST 1.1 criteria. . In order to assess disease progression, the baseline imaging (CT/MRI) used for Screening purposes should be compared against the most recently performed scan that allows physician assessment as per RECIST 1.1 criteria. If an intermediate scan taken between chemotherapy and radiotherapy is available and that scan is suitable for physician assessment as per RECIST 1.1 criteria, then this scan should be used. Patients with measurable disease and/or non-measurable and/or no evidence of disease (NED) assessed at baseline by CT/MRI will be entered in this study. Prior irradiated lesions may be considered measurable and selected as TLs provided they fulfil the other criteria for measurability. Must have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks at enrolment. WHO/ECOG PS ≤2. Adequate organ and marrow function at enrolment as defined below. These parameters should be achieved without augmentation by growth factors, transfusions, or infusions within 14 days of screening unless required for SoC: Haemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL; Absolute neutrophil count >1.0 × 109/L; Platelet count >75 × 109/L; Serum bilirubin ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN). This will not apply to patients with confirmed Gilbert's syndrome, who will be allowed in consultation with their physician. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤2.5 × ULN. Measured creatinine clearance >40 mL/min or calculated creatinine clearance >40 mL/min as determined by Cockcroft-Gault (using actual body weight) (Cockcroft and Gault 1976). Males: Creatinine clearance (mL/min) = Weight (kg) × (140 Age) 72 × serum creatinine (mg/dL) Females: Creatinine clearance (mL/min) = Weight (kg) × (140 Age) × 0.85 72 × serum creatinine (mg/dL) 11 Body weight >30 kg at enrolment and first IP dose administration. 12 Male or female. 13 Evidence of post-menopausal status, or negative urinary or serum pregnancy test for female pre-menopausal patients. Women will be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. The following age-specific requirements apply: Women <50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments and if they have luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone levels in the post-menopausal range for the institution or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy). Women ≥50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments, had radiation-induced menopause with last menses >1 year ago, had chemotherapy-induced menopause with last menses >1 year ago, or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or hysterectomy).

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Number of Participants With Grade 3 and Grade 4 Treatment-related Adverse Events (TRAEs) | Safety and tolerability of Durvalumab as defined by Grade 3 and Grade 4 TRAEs following IV infusion administration was assessed. | Up to 6 months | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Progression-free Survival (PFS) | The efficacy of Durvalumab (MEDI4736) treatment in terms of PFS. PFS was defined as the time from the first date of treatment until the date of objective disease progression based on Investigator's assessment according to RECIST 1.1 or death (by any cause in the absence of progression) regardless of whether the patient withdraws from IP or receives another anticancer therapy prior to progression. | From the first date of treatment until the date of objective disease progression or death (approximately upto 27 months) | 
| Percentage of Patients Progression-free | The percentage of patients treated with Durvalumab who are progression-free was estimated. PFS12 according to RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the Investigator. | From the first date of treatment until the date of objective disease progression or death (upto 12 months) | 
| Overall Survival (OS) | The efficacy of Durvalumab (MEDI4736) treatment in terms of OS were assessed. OS was defined as the time from the first date of treatment until death due to any cause. Any patient not known to have died at the time of analysis will be censored based on the last recorded date on which the patient was known to be alive. | From the first date of treatment until death due to any cause (approximately upto 27 months) | 
| Percentage of Patients Alive | Percentage of patients alive at 12 months, and 24 months were estimated. | From the first date of treatment until the date of objective disease progression or death (12 months, and 24 months) | 
| Objective Response Rate (ORR) | The efficacy of Durvalumab (MEDI4736) treatment in terms of ORR were assessed. ORR (based on Investigator assessed response to treatment of complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) as per RECIST 1.1 criteria), together with the corresponding 95% CI, was reported for patients. Objective response is complete response (CR), or partial response (PR) confirmed by a follow-up visit at least 4 weeks after. Both visits contributing to response should have occurred before any further anti-cancer therapy, in order for the patient to be considered a responder. Responses that occurred after the start of subsequent anti-cancer therapy were not included in the numerator. Response excluded unconfirmed response. Participants with unconfirmed responses include those whose CR, or PR don't have a confirmed response. These responses occur at any time during the study, recur after anti-cancer therapy, and these participants were missing for a follow-up visit 4 weeks after. | From 8 weeks ±1 week after investigational product (IP) treatment initiation and continue every 8 weeks (q8w) ±1 week through 52 weeks and every 12 weeks (q12w) ±1 week until disease progression (approximately upto 27 months) | 
| Duration of Response (DOR) From Onset of Response | The efficacy of Durvalumab (MEDI4736) treatment in terms of DoR were assessed. DoR was defined as the time from the date of first documented response per RECIST1.1 until the first date of documented progression per RECIST1.1 or death in the absence of disease progression. If a patient did not progress following a response, then the patients' DoR was censored at the PFS censoring time. | From 8 weeks ±1 week after IP treatment initiation and continue q8w ±1 week through 52 weeks and q12w ±1 week until disease progression (approximately upto 27 months) | 
| Lung Cancer Mortality | The efficacy of durvalumab (MEDI4736) treatment in terms of lung cancer mortality was assessed. Lung Cancer Mortality was defined as the time from the date of treatment start until death due to lung cancer. Any patient not known to have died due to lung cancer will be censored based on the last recorded date on which the patient was known to be alive or died due to reason other than lung cancer. | From date of treatment start until death due to lung cancer (approximately upto 27 months) | 
| Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Adverse Event of Special Interests (AESIs), and Immune-mediated Adverse Event (imAEs) | The safety and tolerability profile of Durvalumab(MEDI4736) treatment, including all AEs were assessed. | Until the final visit (upto 27 months) |
