Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant durvalumab in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy (CT) given as initial therapy after cancer diagnosis followed by either surgery and adjuvant durvalumab or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and consolidation durvalumab given alone as further therapy in participants with resectable and borderline resectable stage IIB-IIIB NSCLC.

Detailed Description

This will be a multicentre, Phase II, single-arm, global study assessing the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant durvalumab and platinum-based CT, given intravenously, followed by either surgery and adjuvant durvalumab or definitive CRT and consolidation durvalumab in participants with resectable and borderline resectable stage IIB-IIIB NSCLC.

Neoadjuvant Period A:

All participants will initially receive 2 cycles of neoadjuvant durvalumab + CT (investigator's choice platinum-based) every three weeks. Participants will be assessed for resectability by a multidisciplinary team.

Neoadjuvant Period B:

Cohort 1: Participants who are deemed eligible for surgery will receive study intervention every three weeks for an additional one and up to two cycles, followed by surgery.

CRT:

Cohort 2: Participants with unresectable tumours (according to MDT re-assessment) will receive definitive CRT (6 one-week cycles) for approximately six weeks.

Both cohorts will then go on to receive durvalumab every four weeks until disease progression or recurrence or up to one year.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Resection rateAt day of surgery (Within 40 days of the last dose of neoadjuvant treatment)

Resection rate is defined as the proportion of all participants who underwent definitive surgery. Participants who undergo (ie, start) surgery with the goal of complete tumour resection will be counted as meeting this endpoint.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Surgical safety: Intended surgical approachAt baseline

Intended surgical approach at baseline (minimally invasive vs open thoracotomy).

Resection rateAt the day of surgery (within 40 days after the last dose of neoadjuvant treatment)

Resection rate will be further assessed separately in participants deemed resectable at baseline and participants deemed borderline resectable at baseline.

R0, R1, R2 resection ratesAt the day of surgery (within 40 days after the last dose of neoadjuvant treatment)

The R0, R1, and R2 resection rates (assessed separately) are defined as the proportion of resected participants with resection margins assessed as R0, R1, and R2 respectively. R0 corresponds to resection for cure or complete remission, R1 to microscopic residual tumour, R2 to macroscopic residual tumour.

Pathological complete response (pCR)At the day of surgery (within 40 days after the last dose of neoadjuvant treatment)

pCR will be defined as the proportion of participants who undergo surgery and have 0% residual viable tumour cells in resected lung and lymph nodes.

Overall Survival (OS)From first dose of study intervention until death, withdrawal of consent, or the end of the study (approximately 3.5 years)

OS will be defined as the time from first dose of study intervention until the date of death due to any cause.

Overall Survival (OS) rateAt 12 months and 24 months

The proportion of participants alive at 12 and 24 months.

Event-free survival (EFS)From first dose of study intervention until progression of disease (PD), recurrence or death, withdrawal of consent, or the end of the study (approximately 3.5 years)

EFS is defined as the time from the first dose of study intervention to any of the following events: PD that precludes surgery, progression or recurrence of disease after surgery, PD in the absence of surgery, disease progression, recurrence, or death due to any cause.

Event-free survival (EFS) rateAt 12 months and 24 months

The proportion of participants alive and event-free at 12 and 24 months.

Progression Free Survival (PFS)From first dose of study intervention until disease progression, death, withdrawal of consent, or the end of the study (approximately 3.5 years)

PFS is defined as the time from the first dose of study intervention to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1.-defined PD, as assessed by the investigator, or death due to any cause.

Progression Free Survival (PFS) rateAt 12 months and 24 months

The proportion of participants alive without disease progression at 12 and 24 months.

Objective response rate (ORR) pre-surgery/pre-chemoradiotherapy (CRT)From first dose of study intervention until death, surgery/start of CRT

ORR is defined as the proportion of participants who have unconfirmed complete response or partial response as assessed by the investigator per RECIST 1.1.

ORR during study intervention and definitive CRTFrom MDT re-assessment timepoint (baseline for this endpoint) until the first tumour assessment after definitive CRT

ORR is defined as the proportion of participants who have unconfirmed complete response or partial response as assessed by the investigator per RECIST 1.1.

Surgical safety: Duration of surgical procedureTime from start of surgery to end of surgery

The safety of study intervention will be evaluated from start to end of surgery

Surgical safety: Length of post operative hospital stayTime from the beginning of the surgery/procedure to the discharge of hospital

The safety of study intervention will be evaluated during post operative hospital stay

Percentage of all participants with circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) clearanceFrom Cycle 1 Day 1 up to pre-surgery/CRT (within 7 to 14 days pre-surgery/CRT) [Each cycle is of 3 weeks]

Circulating tumour DNA clearance (ie, cMR) will be defined as a change from detectable ctDNA to undetectable ctDNA (ctDNA concentration less than limit of detection) at specified timepoints. The percentage of all biomarker-evaluable participants with ctDNA clearance will be assessed.

Number of participants with adverse eventsFrom enrollment up to at least 90 days after last dose of study intervention

Safety and tolerability will be evaluated in terms of adverse events and serious adverse events.
