PD-1 Inhibitors Consolidation in Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

Phase 1
Conditions
Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer
Radiotherapy
Immunotherapy
Interventions
Drug: PD-1 inhibitor JS-001
Registration Number
NCT03971214
Lead Sponsor
Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences
Brief Summary

The prognosis of extensive-stage small cell lung cancer is still very poor, even for those who received platinum-based chemotherapy and chest radiotherapy. 2-year survival rate of these patients is only about 10%. Therefore, this study aims to explore a comprehensive treatments with low toxicity to further improve the efficacy for these paitents with PD-1 inhibitor.

Detailed Description

The study is a prospective pilot trial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PD-1 inhibitor consolidation in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer paitents who received standard first-line chemotherapy and chest radiotherapy ± SABR for metastasis disease.

The primary endpoint is the safety and objective response rate of treatment. The secondary objectives are progression free survival(PFS), overall survial. The exploratory end point includes the correlation of PD-1 expression on the tumor tissue, and the TMB, Immune Repertoire sequencing derived from the tumor tissue and the blood sample with the efficacy of treatent. The plan for collection of tumor tissue and blood at baseline at different stages during or after treatment was defined in the protocol.

The PICCARE-trial has been designed by National Cancer Center/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Peking Union Medical College, and the hypothesis is PD-1 inhibitor consolidation was safe and effective in the treatment of extensive-stage SCLC after sandard first-line chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

PD-1 inhibitor JS-001 consolidation for SCLCPD-1 inhibitor JS-001The extensive-stage SCLC patients will receive PD-1 inhibitor JS-001 treatment after standard first-line chemotherapy, chest radiotherapy ± SABR for metastasis disease, and propylactic cranial irradiation untill disease progression or death.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Adverse eventsAt least 1 year following the conclusion of immunotherapy

The incidence and severity of adverse events related to treatments

Objective remission rate24 weeks following the conclusion of immunotherapy

Objective remission rate (ORR): refers to the proportion of subjects in the analyzed population who achieved complete remission (CR) or partial remission (PR); according to the tumor immunotherapy efficacy evaluation (irRC) and RECIST criteria (v1.1) by the evaluation of investigator.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pharmacodynamic indicatorsDuring and 6 weeks after the treatment of immunotherapy

Pharmacodynamic indicators,such as the detection of PD-1 receptor occupancy in the blood

DOR was defined as time since onset of CR or PR to relapse or death due to underlying cancer, whichever is earlier

Disease Control Rate (DCR)At least 1 year following the conclusion of immunotherapy

The percentage of patients who have achieved complete response, partial response and stable disease to the therapeutic intervention

Time to response (TTR)24 weeks following the conclusion of immunotherapy

The time from the start of treatment to the first objective tumor response

Overall survival (OS)At least 1 year following the conclusion of immunotherapy

The time from treatment to death from any cause

Progression-free survival (PFS)At least 1 year following the conclusion of immunotherapy

The length of time during and after the treatment of a disease that a patient lives with the disease but it does not get worse
