Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study is to evaluate the preliminary efficacy and safety of Chidamide combined with Envafolimab in patients with PD-1 inhibitor resistant advanced NSCLC.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 2

Detailed Description

This study including two phases: (1) Pre-test Phase, 3~6 patients will be enrolled and receive 20 mg Chidamide BIW and 400 mg Envafolimab Q4W. The main object of pre-test phase is to evaluate the preliminary safety and tolerability of Chidamide when in combination with Envafolimab. (2) Formal experiment Phase, 63 patients will be enrolled and receive 30 mg Chidamide BIW and 400 mg Envafolimab Q4W, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Chidamide when in combination with Envafolimab in patients with PD-1 inhibitor resistant advanced NSCLC.

This study is also to explore the gene expression and variation, PD-L1 and HDAC2 proteins expression levels in tumor tissue samples, the circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in plasma, and the potential correlation between peripheral blood cytokines and clinical preliminary efficacy and safety.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. objective response rate (ORR) [Response is assessed once every 8 weeks, assessed up to 24 weeks.]

      ORR is defined as the percentage of subjects with evidence of a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. disease control rate (DCR) [From the first date of response until the date of first documented progression, assessed up to 24 weeks]

      Defined as the proportion of patients with a documented complete response, partial response, and stable disease (CR + PR + SD) based on RECIST 1.1.

    2. duration of response (DOR) [From the first date of response until the date of first documented progression, assessed up to 24 months]

      DOR is measured from the first date when criteria for response is met until the first date when the criteria for progression is met

    3. time to progression (TTP) [From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression, assessed up to 24 months]

      TTP is measured from date of randomization until progression not including death

    4. time to response (TTR) [From date of randomization until the date of first documented response, assessed up to 24 months]

      TTR is measured from date of randomization until response

    5. progression-free survival (PFS) [From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 24 months]

      PFS is measured from the date of randomization until progression or death, whichever is first met

    6. overall survival (OS) [From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 24 months]

      OS is measured from the date of randomization until death

    7. Toxicity according to NCI CTCAE v5.0 criteria [From date of randomization until the end of study, assessed up to 24 months]

      Safety evaluation as measured by adverse events (AE), vital signs and abnormal laboratory results according to CTCAE V5.0.
