Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of induction treatment of immunotherapy and chemotherapy depending on the resection status for the treatment of non small cell lung cancer patients diagnosed with pancoast tumor.
The main objectives it aims to answer are:

Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
This is an open-label, phase II, single-arm, multi-centre clinical trial.
The total sample size is 40 patients. The population to be included are previously untreated patients with histologically- or cytologically- documented NSCLC diagnosed with Pancoast tumor.
Patients will receive Nivolumab 360mg + Paclitaxel 200mg/m2 + Carboplatin AUC6 for 3 cycles every 21 days (+/- 3 days) as neoadjuvant treatment followed by surgery and 6 months of adjuvant treatment with Nivolumab 480 mg Q4W (+/- 3 days) if applicable and depending on surgery results. Patients that will not receive adjuvant treatment will start follow up phase after end of treatment visit. Follow up for all patients must be done for 2 years.
The primary objective is to evaluate the complete resection (R0) rate after induction treatment defined as the absence of residual tumor in patients treated with neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy.Secondary objectives and endpoint are Overall survival rate at 24 months and disease-free survival rate at 24 months.
Patient accrual is expected to be completed within 2 years excluding a run-in-period of 3 months. Treatment and follow-up are expected to extend the study duration to a total of 5 years. The study will end once survival follow-up has concluded.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Experimental: Neodjuvant treatment + Adjuvant maintenance treatment Neodjuvant treatment: Nivolumab: 360 mg intravenous Q3W Paclitaxel: 200mg/m2 infusion over 3 hours Carboplatin: AUC6 at the end of the Paclitaxel infusion Neoadjuvant treatment will start within 1-3 days from enrollment. 3 cycles will be administered at 21-day (+/- 3 days) intervals (QW3) prior to surgery. Before surgery a tumor assessment will be done. Patients must leave the study if there is evidence of progression. Patients with stable disease or partial response may be considered for surgery. Surgery: Surgery must be done within the 3rd-4th week (+7 days) from day 21 cycle 3 of neoadjuvant treatment (day 42-49 after day 1 of cycle 3) Depending on surgery results the patient will receive: Patients with degree of resection 'R0': Adjuvant treatment for 6 months with Nivolumab 480mg QW4 Patients with degree of resection 'R1' or 'R2': standard treatment according to local guidelines |
Drug: Carboplatin
Structure: The cis-diamino (cyclobutane-1, 1 dicarboxylate) plating. Stability: 24 hours at ambient temperature in 5% glucose, sodium chloride and glucose 5% solution solution or physiologic saline. It is recommended not to dilute with chlorinated solutions for this could affect the carboplatin.
Route of administration: Intravenous infusion. Guidelines of Carboplatin administration: According to the standard of ech center.
Other Names:
Drug: Paclitaxel
Structure: A diterpene whose composition is: 5b, 20-epoxy-1, 2a, 4,7b, 10b, 13a-hexa-hydroxy-11-en 9 one 4,10-diacetate 2-benzoate 13-ester with (2R,3S)- N-benzoyl-3-phenylisoserine.
Stability: Concentrations of 0.3-1.2 mg/ml in 5% dextrose or normal saline have demonstrated chemical and physical stability for more that 27 hours at ambient temperature (25ºC approximately). The intact vial must be stored between 15º and 25ºC.
Guidelines on Paclitaxel administration: Paclitaxel must be administered by infusion over 3 hours in dextrose (D5W) or normal saline (NS). The concentration must not exceed 1.2 mg/ml.
Other Names:
Drug: Nivolumab
Structure: Nivolumab is a soluble protein consisting of 4 polypeptide chains. Route of administration: Intravenous infusion. Product Description: Nivolumab (BMS-936558-01) Injection drug product is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, single-use, isotonic aqueous solution formulated in 10 mg/ml.
Storage Conditions: It must be stored at 2 to 8 degrees Cº and protected from light and freezing.
Guidelines: The administration of nivolumab infusion must be completed within 24 hours of preparation.The dose of Nivolumab for the adjuvant treatment is 360 mg administered as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes every 3 weeks (+/-3 days) for 3 cycles.
For the maintenance adjuvant treatment the dose is nivolumab 480 mg Q4W (+/-3 days) over 30 minutes for 6 months (6 cycles).
Subjects should be carefully monitored during nivolumab administration to follow infusion reactions. Doses of nivolumab may be interrupted, delayed, or discontinued depending on how well the subject tolerates the treatment.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Complete resection (R0) rate [From the end of neoadjuvant treatment until end of surgery, assessed up to one month]
Evaluate the complete resection (R0) rate after induction treatment defined as the absence of residual tumor in patients treated with neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Overall survival [From the date of randomization until the date of last follow up, assessed up to 24 months]
Defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of death
- Disease-free survival rate [From the date of randomization until progression or date of last follow up, assessed up to 24 months]
Disease-free survival is defined as the length of time from enrollment to any of the following events: disease relapse, or death due to any cause. Disease relapse will have determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1
- Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (Safety and Tolerability) [From the subject's written consent to participate in the study through 100 days after the final administration of the drug]
It will be measured by the incidence of AE, SAE, immune-related AEs, deaths, and laboratory abnormalities. Adverse events will be graded according to CTCAE v5.0
