- Brief Summary
This is an open-label, multicenter, 2-arm study to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of the addition of a vaccine therapy to 1 or 2 checkpoint inhibitors for NSCLC.
Arm A: messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) Vaccine \[BI 1361849 (formerly CV9202)\] + anti-programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) antibody \[durvalumab\]
Arm B: messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) Vaccine \[BI 1361849\] + anti-programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) \[durvalumab\] + anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) antibody \[tremelimumab\]
The run-in evaluation phase is followed by an expansion phase in which the cohort is expanded to 20 subjects (inclusive of subjects from the run-in).
- Detailed Description
This was a Phase 1/2, open-label, multicenter, 2-arm study to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of the addition of a vaccine therapy to 1 or 2 checkpoint inhibitors in subjects with NSCLC.
Up to 56 subjects were planned for enrollment from up to 8 clinical sites in 2 arms:
Arm A: mRNA Vaccine \[BI 1361849 (formerly CV9202)\] + anti-PD-L1 antibody \[durvalumab\]
Arm B: mRNA Vaccine \[BI 1361849\] + anti-PD-L1 \[durvalumab\] + anti-CTLA-4 antibody \[tremelimumab\]
Subjects must have had histologically confirmed metastatic NSCLC. For subjects with known EGFR or ALK/ROS-1 mutations, prior therapy must have included an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor or ALK/ROS-1 inhibitor, respectively. Subjects may have had 1 prior line of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy and must not have had progression at or before 12 weeks after start of the prior anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatment.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Subjects With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) up to 15 months Adverse events (AEs) were coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) Version 20.0 and classified by MedDRA system organ class (SOC) and preferred term. The severity was assessed according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version 4.03. AEs were reported based on clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, physical examinations, and any other medically indicated assessments, including subject interviews, from the time informed consent was signed through 90 days after the last dose of study treatment. TEAEs are AEs that occurred or worsened in severity after administration of the first dose of study treatment.
For each arm, the first 6 subjects were evaluated for dose limiting toxicities (DLTs).
Deaths within the AE Reporting Period included all deaths that occurred during the study treatment period, or up to 90 days after the administration of the last dose of study drug or initiation of a new treatment.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Subjects Without Progression at 8 and 24 Weeks by irRECIST up to 24 weeks Progression-free Survival (PFS) was measured from the date of the first dose of study treatment to the date of earliest disease progression or to the date of death, if disease progression did not occur. Per irRECIST, progressive disease (irPD) is defined as a ≥ 20% increase from nadir in the total measurable tumor burden (TMTB).
Median PFS by RECIST 1.1 as Estimated Using the Kaplan-Meier Method up to 15 months Progression Free Survival (PFS) was measured from the date of the first dose of study treatment to the date of earliest disease progression according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) or to the date of death, if disease progression did not occur. Per RECIST 1.1, progressive disease (PD) is defined as a ≥ 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions or the presence of new lesions.

Median PFS by irRECIST as Estimated Using the Kaplan-Meier Method up to 15 months Progression-free Survival (PFS) was measured from the date of the first dose of study treatment to the date of earliest disease progression according to immune related Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (irRECIST) or to the date of death, if disease progression did not occur. Per irRECIST, progressive disease (irPD) is defined as a ≥ 20% increase from nadir in the total measurable tumor burden (TMTB).
Number of Subjects With Objective Responses at 8 and 24 Weeks By irRECIST up to 24 weeks Tumor responses were evaluated using appropriate imaging and categorized according to irRECIST at Screening (up to 28 days before the first dose of study treatment), at cycles 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 during study treatment, and during on-study follow-up every 8 weeks starting 8 weeks after the last disease assessment. Per irRECIST, responses are categorized as follows: irCR: Complete disappearance of all target lesions; irPR: ≥ 30% decrease from baseline in the total measurable tumor burden (TMTB); irPD: ≥ 20% increase from nadir in TMTB; irSD: not meeting above criteria.
An Objective Response is defined as an irCR or irPR over a period of at least 4 weeks.Duration of Response (DoR) by irRECIST Up tp 15 months Duration of Response (DoR) was defined as the interval between the date of earliest determination of irCR or irPR to the date of earliest determination of progressive disease (irPD), clinical progression or death, whatever occurred first.
Number of Subjects With Best Overall Tumor Response By RECIST 1.1 up to 15 months Tumor responses were evaluated using appropriate imaging and categorized according to RECIST 1.1 at Screening (up to 28 days before the first dose of study treatment), at cycles 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 during study treatment, and during on-study follow-up every 8 weeks starting 8 weeks after the last disease assessment. Per RECIST 1.1, target lesions are categorized as follows: complete response (CR): disappearance of all target lesions; partial response (PR): ≥ 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; PD: ≥ 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions or the presence of new lesions; stable disease (SD): small changes that do not meet above criteria.

Median Overall Survival (OS) as Estimated Using the Kaplan-Meier Method up to October 29, 2021 After completion of treatment, all subjects were followed for survival every 6 months following initiation of study treatment until October 29, 2021 when all post-study follow-up was completed. OS was measured from the date of the first dose of study treatment to the date of death or last follow-up. Subjects lost to follow-up were censored on the date when they were last known to be alive.
