Brief Summary:
This is a single arm, phase II trial of combined neoadjuvant platinum doublet chemotherapy plus durvalumab followed by surgery, postoperative radiation and adjuvant durvalumab for 13 cycles for patients with potentially resectable stage IIIA and IIIB (T1-3, N2) NSCLC (per the 8th International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer classification). The primary objective of this study is to increase N2 nodal clearance (N2NC) to 50% or greater for combined platinum doublet chemotherapy with durvalumab induction therapy from historical rate of 30% for platinum doublet chemotherapy alone in patients with potentially resectable stage IIIA/B (N2) NSCLC.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Stage IIIA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Stage IIIB Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Drug: Durvalumab Procedure: Surgery Radiation: Radiotherapy Phase 2

Detailed Description:

In the preoperative period, patients who have undergone adequate mediastinal evaluation and are considered operable will be treated with durvalumab 1125 mg IV every 3 weeks (Q3W) in combination with platinum doublet chemotherapy (cisplatin with pemetrexed or docetaxel, depending upon histology).

Patients will undergo postoperative radiation (54Gy) within 4-10 weeks after surgery (unless single station N2 at registration with resultant ypT0N0 after neoadjuvant therapy).

One to 6 weeks after completion of radiation, patients will receive adjuvant durvalumab 1500 mg IV every 4weeks (Q4W) for 1 year.

Patients who do not have surgery due to refusal, physician decision, or local and distant progression will have to discontinue study treatment.

All participants will have imaging assessment prior to surgery after Cycle 2 (Week 6) and after Cycle 4 (Weeks 13 15). Patients will undergo potentially curable surgery as per standard of care.

Patients will undergo imaging assessment every 12 weeks after surgery for 2 years, then every 6 months for 3 years.

Criteria

Operability Criteria:

  1. ECOG Performance Status 0-1.
  2. Absence of major associated comorbidities that increase the surgery risk to an unacceptable level.
  3. 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.

Inclusion Criteria:

  4. Patients with potentially resectable IIIA/B (T1-3, N2) NSCLC (per the 8th International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer 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. T4 disease per AJCC 8th edition staging system is excluded given the lack of benefit of surgery in T4N2.
  5. Patients must be evaluated by a thoracic surgeon within 4 weeks of registration.
  6. 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.
  7. N2 nodes must be discrete (ie, not invading surrounding structures) and less than 3 cm in maximum diameter.
  8. Measurable disease according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1).

  9. Pathologically proven N2 disease within 4 weeks of registration. PET/CT positivity in the ipsilateral mediastinal nodes will not be sufficient to establish N2 nodal status. Mediastinal lymph node sampling biopsy is required pre-operatively by at least one of the following:

    • Fine needle aspiration by image guidance.
    • Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) or mediastinoscopy or other tissue sampling (at least 2 stations must be biopsied, with at least one station positive for N2 disease). If there are any mediastinal nodes suspicious by CT (>1.5 cm) or PET in N3 stations, they must be biopsied. If biopsy proven involvement in an N3 station, the patient is excluded.

  10. Mediastinal nodal biopsy or aspiration can only be omitted in the special circumstance in which ALL of the following are true:

Patients of childbearing potential are those who have not been surgically sterilized or have not been free of menses >1 year.

  16. Evidence of postmenopausal status or negative urinary or serum pregnancy test for female premenopausal patients. Women will be considered postmenopausal 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 postmenopausal 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 postmenopausal range for the institution or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy).
