Brief Summary

This phase III trial compares standard therapy given after surgery (adjuvant) to standard therapy given before and after surgery (perioperative) in treating patients with stage II-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that can be removed by surgery (resectable). The usual approach for patients with resectable NSCLC is chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy before surgery, after surgery, or both before and after surgery. This study is being done to find out which approach is better at treating patients with lung cancer. Treatment will be administered according to the current standard of care at the time of enrollment. Chemotherapy options may include cisplatin, carboplatin, pemetrexed, gemcitabine, docetaxel, and vinorelbine at standard doses according to the treating physician. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Pemetrexed is in a class of medications called antifolate antineoplastic agents. It works by stopping cells from using folic acid to make deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill tumor cells. Gemcitabine is a chemotherapy drug that blocks the cells from making DNA and may kill tumor cells. Docetaxel is in a class of medications called taxanes. It stops tumor cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Other chemotherapy drugs, such as vinorelbine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading . Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, pembrolizumab, and atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Starting treatment with chemotherapy and immunotherapy prior to surgery and continuing treatment after surgery may be a more effective treatment option than adjuvant therapy alone in patients with stage II-IIIB resectable NSCLC.

Detailed Description

The primary and secondary objectives of the study:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To compare the 3-year real-world event-free survival (rwEFS) rate and overall survival (OS) between perioperative and adjuvant immunotherapy-based treatment for patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer (dual endpoints).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To compare the rates of surgical resection between the two arms. II. To compare the rates of complete resection (R0) between the two arms. III. To summarize and compare rates of adverse events (AEs) resulting in permanent treatment discontinuation, hospitalization, or death between the two arms.

IV. To evaluate the association between locally defined pathological complete response (pCR) and rwEFS in patients randomized to the perioperative arm (arm 2).

V. To compare the rwEFS post 3-years from randomization between the two arms among patients who do not experience an event by 3 years.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To compare outcomes according to the systemic therapy administered on each arm.

II. To compare the sites of relapse between the two treatment arms.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
3-year real-world event-free survival (rwEFS)From the date of randomization to the date of the first of the following events: failure to undergo resection for any reason, recurrence or progression at any time after surgery, or death from any cause, assessed at 3 years

Time to event analyses will be summarized using the Kaplan-Meier method, where both the stratified and unstratified log-rank test will be used to compare the distributions across the treatment arms. For the primary analysis of 3-year rwEFS rate, we will compare the rwEFS curves at 3 years, using the difference in Kaplan-Meier estimates for the survival functions. The test statistic will be derived from the difference in the estimated Kaplan-Meier values between two arms at 3 years, using the Greenwood estimate of the variances. rwEFS rates at 1 year, 2 years, and 5 years will also be reported, along with 95% confidence intervals. The comparison of the rwEFS post 3-years between the two arms among patients who do not experience an event by 3 years, will involve assessing the probability of a longer rwEFS on the perioperative arm. Non-parametric estimation and inference methods will be used for analysis.

Overall survival (OS)From randomization until death from any cause, assessed up to 10 years

Time to event analyses will be summarized using the Kaplan-Meier method, where both the stratified and unstratified log-rank test will be used to compare the distributions across the treatment arms. OS rates at 1 year, 2 years, and 5 years will also be reported, along with 95% confidence intervals.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rates of surgical resectionUp to 10 years.

Rates of resection will be tabulated and compared between the arms using chi-square tests or Fisher's exact tests. Univariable Cox models stratified by the stratification factors used in the randomization will be used to understand the impact of baseline covariates, resection status and systemic treatments on outcomes.

Rates of complete resection (R0)Up to 10 years.

Rates of R0 resection will be tabulated and compared between the arms using chi-square tests or Fisher's exact tests. Univariable Cox models stratified by the stratification factors used in the randomization will be used to understand the impact of baseline covariates, resection status and systemic treatments on outcomes.

Incidence of adverse events (AEs)Up to 10 years.

Adverse events will be recorded using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 for each patient. Frequency tables and summary statistics will be used to determine the overall patterns within and across the arms.

Pathological complete response (pCR)Up to 10 years

Pathologic complete response is defined as having no viable invasive cancer in the lung and lymph nodes (ypT0 ypN0 or ypT0/is ypN0) based on guidelines published by National Comprehensive Cancer Network and International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer. Cox regression models will be used to evaluate the association between pCR and rwEFS in perioperative arm (arm 2). The hazard ratio and corresponding 95% confidence interval will be reported. Multivariable landmark and time dependent models will be subsequently explored.
