Brief Summary:
This phase III trial studies how well atezolizumab added to the usual radiation therapy works in treating patients with stage I-IIA non-small cell lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy, such as stereotactic body radiation therapy, uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method can kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving atezolizumab and radiation therapy may work better than radiation therapy alone in treating patients with early non-small cell lung cancer.

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To compare overall survival (OS) in patients with inoperable, early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) randomized to stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) with or without atezolizumab.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To compare investigator-assessed progression-free survival (IA-PFS) between the arms.

II. To compare progression free survival (PFS) by blinded independent centralized review (BIRC) between the arms in a random subset of patients.

III. To evaluate distant, locoregional, and local failure rates within each treatment arm.

IV. To evaluate the frequency and severity of toxicities within each treatment arm.

ADDITIONAL OBJECTIVE:

I. To collect specimens for banking.

HEALTH-RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE (HRQOL) OBJECTIVE:

I. To assess quality of life as measured by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life (EORTC QLQ)-30 and EORTC-QLQ- Lung Cancer (LC)13 between the arms.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM A: Patients receive atezolizumab intravenously (IV) over 30-60 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 8 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Starting on day 1 cycle 3, patients also undergo SBRT for 3-8 treatments every 2 days or once daily (QD) over 1-3 weeks. Patients undergo fludeoxyglucose F-18 (FDG)-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) during screening. Patients undergo blood sample collection and CT scans throughout the trial.

ARM B: Beginning 21 days after randomization, patients undergo SBRT for 3-8 treatments every 2 days or QD over 1-3 weeks. Patients undergo FDG-PET/CT during screening. Patients undergo blood sample collection and CT scans throughout the trial.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for 5 years after randomization.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall survival [ Time Frame: From date of randomization to date of death due to any cause, assessed up to 3 years ]
    Will compare overall survival between patients with inoperable, T1, T2, limited T3, N0M0 (early stage) non-small cell lung cancer randomized to stereotactic body radiation therapy with or without atezolizumab. Will be evaluated using the method of Kaplan-Meier. For point estimates at landmark times, the associated 95% confidence interval (CI) will be calculated using Greenwood's formula and based on a log-log transformation applied on the survival function. Hazard ratios for these outcomes will be estimated using a Cox Proportional Hazards regression model and estimated using a stratified Cox regression model.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression free survival [ Time Frame: From date of randomization to date of first documentation of progression or death due to any cause, assessed up to 5 years ]
    Will be evaluated using the method of Kaplan-Meier. For point estimates at landmark times, the associated 95% CI will be calculated using Greenwood's formula and based on a log-log transformation applied on the survival function. Hazard ratios for these outcomes will be estimated using a Cox Proportional Hazards regression model and estimated using a stratified Cox regression model.

  2. Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    This study will utilize the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 for toxicity and serious adverse event reporting.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Change in health-related quality of life [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    As measured by the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) and EORTC-QLQ-LC13, between arms. The scores at baseline and subsequent time points, as well the changes from baseline at each time point for each treatment group will be analyzed as continuous variables and compared using the two-sample t-test.

  • Patient must not have myocardial infarction within 90 days prior to randomization
  • Patient must not have unstable arrhythmias or unstable angina

  • Patient must not have known left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 40% within 28 days prior to randomization

    • NOTE: Assessment of LVEF by echocardiogram or multigated acquisition (MUGA) is not an eligibility requirement, but if a standard of care echocardiogram or MUGA was clinically indicated, the LVEF must not be < 40% within 28 days prior to randomization
  • Patient must not have had an infection >= grade 3 (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE] version 5.0) within 28 days prior to randomization
  • Patient must not have an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past two years (i.e., with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) is not considered a form of systemic treatment and is allowed

  • Patient must be tested for hepatitis B within 28 days prior to randomization. Patient must not have active (chronic or acute) hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Patients may have past or resolved HBV infection

    • Active HBV is defined as having a positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) test

  • Patient must be tested for hepatitis C within 28 days prior to randomization. Patient must not have active hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection

    • Active HCV is defined as having a positive HCV antibody test followed by a positive HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) test
  • Patient must have pulmonary function testing to include, at a minimum, forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and Diffusing capability of carbon monoxide (DLCO) documented within 90 days prior to randomization
  • Patients with known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection must be receiving anti-retroviral therapy and have an undetectable viral load at their most recent viral load test within 6 months prior to randomization
  • Patient must not have a history of clinically significant interstitial lung disease or evidence of active pneumonitis on the screening chest CT
  • Patients must not have a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment has the potential (in the opinion of the treating physician) to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen
  • Patients must not be pregnant due to the potential teratogenic side effects of the protocol treatment. Women of reproductive potential and men must have agreed to use an effective contraception method for the duration of protocol treatment, and for 5 months (150 days) after the last dose of atezolizumab. A woman is considered to be of "reproductive potential" if she has had a menses at any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months. In addition to routine contraceptive methods, "effective contraception" also includes heterosexual celibacy and surgery intended to prevent pregnancy (or with a side-effect of pregnancy prevention) defined as a hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral tubal ligation. However, if at any point a previously celibate patient chooses to become heterosexually active during the time period for use of contraceptive measures outlined in the protocol, he/she is responsible for beginning contraceptive measures. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with atezolizumab, breastfeeding must be discontinued prior to randomization
  • Patients of reproductive potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 14 days prior to randomization
  • Patients must not have known active tuberculosis

  • Patients must not have received a live, attenuated vaccine within 28 days prior to randomization

    • NOTE: All coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines that have received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval or FDA emergency use authorization are acceptable

  • Patients must not have a known history of severe allergic, anaphylactic, or other hypersensitivity reactions to chimeric antibodies, fusion proteins, or Chinese hamster ovary cell products or to any component of the atezolizumab formulation
  • Patient must agree to have specimens submitted for translational medicine and banking
  • Patients must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and must sign and give written informed consent in accordance with institutional and federal guidelines
  • As a part of the OPEN registration process the treating institution's identity is provided in order to ensure that the current (within 365 days) date of institutional review board approval for this study has been entered in the system
  • Patients who can complete quality of life instruments in English, French, or Spanish must agree to complete the questionnaires at the protocol-specified time points
