Cadonilimab in Patients (Pts) with Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Phase 2

Recruiting

• Conditions: Stage IVB Lung Cancer; Non-Squamous
• Interventions: Drug: cadonilimab，bevacizumab，docetaxel

• Registration Number: NCT06793813
• Lead Sponsor: Cancer Institute and Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences

Brief Summary

This phase II trial studies how well cadonilimab combined with Bevacizumab and docetaxel work in treating patients with non-squamous and stage IV non-small cell lung cancer. Cadonilimab, a PD-1/CTLA-4 bispecific antibody, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bevacizumab can regulate tumor microenvironment. Docetaxel was used in standard of care chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer, work to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving cadonilimab, bevacizumab and docetaxel together may work better in treating patients with non-squamous non-small lung cancer compared to standard of care.

18. A male participant must agree to use a contraception during the treatment period plus an additional 120 days after the last dose of study treatment and refrain from donating sperm during this period

19. A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:

    1. Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) OR
    2. A WOCBP who agrees to follow the contraceptive guidance during the treatment period and for at least 120 days plus 30 days (a menstruation cycle) after the last dose of study treatment

Exclusion Criteria

1. Previously received treatment for tumor immune mechanism other than any anti-PD-1/L1 inhibitor for advanced NSCLC stage, such as CTLA-4（CD152）、TIGIT、OX-40、CD137、ICOS、CD40、CD47、CD73、GITR、TOX、LAG-3、TIM3、SIRPα、BTLA（CD272）、VISTA（B7-H5）、LIGHT（CD258）、B7-H3（CD276）、 B7-H4（VTCN1）、HVEM、CD80/CD86、MHC Ⅱ、GAL9、IDO、PVR（CD155）、Nectin-2（CD112）.

The following treatments were received within 2 weeks before the first administration: TKI treatment, hormone anti-tumor treatment, palliative local treatment for non-target lesions Non-specific immunomodulatory therapy (such as interleukin, interferon, thymosin, tumor necrosis factor, etc., excluding IL-11 for thrombocytopenia).
5. Patients with explosive progress.
6. Patients with other active malignant tumors except for NSCLC within 3 years before enrollment.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
6-month progression-free survival	up to 6 months	Will be determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1. Will be reported and its 95% confidence intervals will be estimated using the Clopper-Pearson method. PFS rates of two patient groups stratified by binary biomarker (PD-L1 and KRAS status), respectively will be estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test, respectively. Cox proportional hazards models will be further used in the multivariable analyses to assess adjusted effect of PD-L1 and KRAS status on the patients' PFS after adjusting for other factors. Interaction terms between these factors will also be tested for statistical significance. The proportional hazards assumption will be evaluated graphically and analytically with regression diagnostics. Violations of the proportional hazards assumptions will be addressed by use of time-dependent covariates or extended Cox regression models.
