简要总结
NEOMUN is designed as an open-label, single arm, prospective, monocenter, phase II study of pembrolizumab in a neoadjuvant setting in patients with non-small cell lung cancer of Stage II/IIIA suitable for curative intent surgery.
详细描述
The study is designed as an open-label, single arm, prospective, monocenter, phase II study of pembrolizumab in a neoadjuvant setting in patients with resectable NSCLC stage II/IIIA suitable for curative intent surgery, taking place in Germany. Planned sample size is N=30.
Investigational drug is Pembrolizumab at fixed dose, given 200 mg q3w i.v. for 2 cycles. After completion of immunotherapy lobectomy/ bilobectomy with curative intent is scheduled.
Primary objectives are to assess feasibility and safety of a neoadjuvant application of pembrolizumab and to assess antitumor activity of pembrolizumab with regard to clinical and pathologic tumor response. Secondary objective is to assess the impact of neoadjuvant pembrolizumab on patient disease free and overall survival. Exploratory objective is o explore potential predictive biomarkers for pembrolizumab efficacy (immune cell imaging).

- •A diagnosis of immunodeficiency or patient is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first dose of trial treatment.
- •Patient has had a prior monoclonal antibody within 4 weeks prior to study Day 1
- •Patient has had prior chemotherapy, targeted small molecule therapy, or radiation therapy in history.
- •Has an active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment within the past 3 months or a documented history of clinically severe autoimmune disease, or a syndrome that requires systemic steroids or immunosuppressive agents. Subjects with vitiligo or resolved childhood asthma/atopy would be an exception to this rule. Subjects that require intermittent use of bronchodilators or local steroid injections would not be excluded from the study. Subjects with hypothyroidism stable on hormone replacement or Sjorgen's syndrome will not be excluded from the study.
- •Has received a live vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of trial treatment. [Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are generally inactivated flu vaccines and are allowed; however intranasal influenza vaccines are live attenuated vaccines, and are not allowed.]
- •Has known hypersensitivity to pembrolizumab or any of the constituents of the product.
- •Other active malignancy requiring treatment Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has undergone potentially curative therapy or in situ cervical cancer.

结局指标
主要结局
Number of Patients Treated in Compliance With Protocol
时间窗: From screening until surgery, ca. 6-8 weeks
The definition for this endpoint was neoadjuvant pembrolizumab treatment followed by successful curative intent tumor resection.
Tumor Response According to RECIST 1.1 Criteria
时间窗: From screening until pre-surgery radiologic assessment, ca. 6-8 weeks
Radiologic tumor assessments were performed at screening and pre-surgery.
Tumor Response Evaluation - Pathologic Response
时间窗: From screening until surgery, ca. 6-8 weeks
Pathologic regression grading according to Junker criteria. The following grades are defined: Grade I No tumor regression or only spontaneous tumor regression in the sections of the primary tumor and mediastinal lymph nodes. Grade IIa Morphological signs of therapy-induced tumor regression in the sections of the primary tumor and/or mediastinal lymph nodes: More than 10% vital tumor tissue Grade IIb Morphological signs of therapy-induced tumor regression: Less than 10% vital tumor tissue Grade III Complete tumor regression, no evidence of vital tumor in the sections of the primary tumor and/or mediastinal lymph nodes. Regression grades IIb and III suggest a good response to neoadjuvant therapy. Reference: Junker K, Langner K, Klinke F, Bosse U, Thomas M. Grading of tumor regression in non-small cell lung cancer : morphology and prognosis. Chest 2001; 120:1584-91.
Tumor Response Evaluation - Δ Tumor Size
时间窗: From screening until pre-surgery radiologic assessment, ca. 6-8 weeks
Δ tumor size was defined as the difference \[mm\] between longest diameter at baseline and pre-surgery.
Tumor Response - Δ PET Activity
时间窗: From screening until pre-surgery radiologic assessment, ca. 6-8 weeks
Δ PET activity (standardized uptake value \[SUV\]). This method uses radiolabeled tracer 82-deoxy-2-\[18F\]fluoro-D-glucose, FDG) during PET imaging of the tumor and accumulation of radiolabeled FDG measured by the PET scanner. Accumulation of FDG relative to normal tissue is related to the proliferative activity of malignant tissue and to the number of viable tumor cells. The endpoint is based on per-patient changes in tumor maximal standardized uptake value during PET examinations of the tumor before the start of treatment and after 2 cycles of neoadjuvant immunotherapy, i.e. between screening and shortly before surgery. Reduction of proliferative activity or of the number of viable tumor cells results in negative values.
