Immunotherapy in Lung Cancer: Treatment After IO Cessation.

Recruiting
Conditions
Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung
Immunotherapy
Registration Number
NCT04465942
Lead Sponsor
European Lung Cancer Working Party
Brief Summary

Immunotherapy is now a standard of care for first-line and eventually salvage therapy in patients with stage IV NSCLC and as adjuvant after RT-CT for stage III NSCLC.

The aim of the study is determining the therapeutic landscape and the reason for immunotherapy cessation.

Detailed Description

Patients with stage IV or unresectable not irradiable stage III NSCLC will be registered at the time receiving immunotherapy alone or in combination with chemotherapy.

When IO is stopped, reason for cessation and further treatment will be recorded.

Secondary endpoints are survival after IO cessation, activity of first salvage therapy, disease-free survival after IO cessation in patients receiving no further treatment.

Patients will be centrally registered at the ELCWP headquarter (Institut Jules Bordet, Brussels, Belgium).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
to determine the therapeutic landscape after cessation of an immune checkpoint therapyFrom IO cessation date up to first treatment whatever the time in-between and up to 5 years

Which treatment is proposed after IO cessation

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
survivalFrom IO cessation date up to death or up to 5 years

survival after ICI cessation, overall and in pre-defined subgroups (cessation for progressive disease \[group 1\], for toxicity \[group 2\], by patient decision without progression \[group 3\])

Activity of salvage therapy - responseAt the end of cycle 2 or 3 (according to routine local practice), one cycle corresponding to 21 days, up to 6 cycles. assessment will done according to RECIST criteria

Best response to first salvage chemotherapy after ICI

Disease-free survivalFrom IO cessation to progression documentation or death or up to 5 years

disease-free survival in untreated non-progressive patients after ICI cessation

second-line ICI effectiveness - responseFrom initiation of second-line IO up to 2 years

Response to second-line ICI (response rate) using WHO criteria

second-line ICI effectiveness - progression-free survivalFrom initation of second-line ICI up to progression or death and up to 5 years

PFS to second-line ICI

Activity of salvage therapy - progression-free survivalFrom initation of salvage therapy up to progression or death and up to 5 years

Progression-free survival to first salvage chemotherapy after ICI

Activity of salvage therapy - survivalFrom initation of second-line ICI up to death and up to 5 years

Survival to first salvage chemotherapy after ICI
