PET/CT Scan as a Tool to Rationalize the Treatment of of Advanced NSCLC Patients Undergoing First Chemotherapy

The purpose of this study is to test whether an early metabolic response, measured by PET/CT scan after the first cycle of chemotherapy, is able to predict which patients with advanced NSCLC have a better prognosis.

Start: October 2013

MILES-3: Cisplatin in Combination With Gemcitabine for Elderly Patients With Lung Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the addition of cisplatin to first-line chemotherapy with gemcitabine in elderly patients with non small cell lung cancer in terms of overall survival.

Start: March 2011

MILES-4: Study Comparing Gemcitabine and Pemetrexed, With or Without Cisplatin, in Patients With Nonsquamous Lung Cancer

The purposes of this study are to test whether the addition of cisplatin to single agent chemotherapy (either gemcitabine or pemetrexed) prolongs survival in elderly patients with non squamous non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and to test whether pemetrexed prolongs survival as compared to gemcitabine in elderly patients with non squamous NSCLC.

Start: August 2012

Nivolumab in Combination With Plinabulin in Patients With Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

The purpose of the study is to determine whether plinabulin (also known as BPI-2358) has an effect on cancer and body in combination with nivolumab, a standard treatment for metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer with progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy. Plinabulin inhibits tumor growth by targeting both new and existing blood vessels going to the tumor as well as killing tumor cells. Plinabulin is an investigational drug, a drug that is not approved for use outside of research studies by regulatory agencies. Up to 38 patients will be enrolled.

Start: August 2016

Combining Radiosurgery and Nivolumab in the Treatment of Brain Metastases

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is increasingly administered as the sole treatment of brain metastases, in order to spare acute and long term side effects associated with whole brain radiotherapy. Local control of SRS treated lesions is good, but patients tend to develop additional brain metastases subsequently. Nivolumab is a modulator of the immune system. Treatment with Nivolumab is associated with an increase in local control and survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer and clear cell renal cell carcinoma. In the presence of Nivolumab, treatment of brain metastases with SRS may trigger an immune reaction against cancer. Therefore, the combination of SRS with Nivolumab may reduce the development of new brain metastases and improve patient survival. The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of combining Nivolumab and SRS in controlling cancer progression. SRS will be administered to patients while they are receiving Nivolumab.

Evaluation of the Quality of Life of Patients With Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer With Supplementary Therapy With IGEN-0206

A national, multicenter, blind, randomized study of three groups, designed to evaluate the impact on the quality of life of IGEN-0206 (IGEN-0206 is a nutritional product, a food) with nutritional support + standard treatment versus nutritional support + standard treatment versus standard treatment in patients with non-lung cancer metastatic microcytic. The standard treatment can include any line of active treatment (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biological therapies or targeted therapies), radiotherapy or nonspecific symptomatic treatment. It will include 280 patients older than 18 years, who have a life expectancy of less than 9 months, who will receive or not active treatment. After signing the informed consent and confirmation that the subject meets the eligibility criteria, those will be randomized (2: 2: 1 ratio) to receive treatment: Group A (112 patients): patients will receive their standard treatment + nutritional support + IGEN-0206 Group B (112 patients): patients will receive their standard treatment + nutritional support + placebo. Group C (56 patients): patients will receive standard treatment. The allocation will be random 2: 2: 1 and will be stratified according to ECOG 1 versus 2-3, type of oncological treatment (chemotherapy, immunotherapy and / or radiotherapy versus targeted therapies versus symptomatic treatment) and type of cancer (squamous versus not flaky). The present study seeks to demonstrate that IGEN-0206 improves the quality of life and the nutritional status of patients with non-small cell lung cancer. If an improvement in the quality of life is achieved, this could impact on a reduction in the number of treatment delays / omissions, which could secondarily impact on a response and survival benefit (by improving the relative intensity of the active oncological treatment).

Intrapleural Instillation of the Nivolumab in Cancer Patients With Pleural Effusion.

Patients with advanced cancers who have pleural effusion, especially those requiring pleural evacuation, experienced poorer survival when treated with immunotherapy. The pleura also acts as a natural barrier that can limit the penetration of immune checkpoint inhibitors. In this multicenter phase 2 study, the preliminary efficacy and toxicity of intrapleural instillation of the nivolumab in patients with immune-sensitive metastatic cancers will be accessed.

Start: August 2020

Immunotherapy by Nivolumab for HIV+ Patients

Two Phase III trials showed superiority in terms of efficacy and tolerance of nivolumab in second-line treatment compared to docetaxel in metastatic NSCLC in the general population, so it is important to evaluate this treatment in PLWHIV (Patient Living With HIV) in maximum security conditions, taking into account their specificities and complex underlying immunological status. As NSCLC in PLWHIV is a rare tumour, a phase 2 trial, using DCR (Disease Control Rate) data, would be able to recruit a sufficient number of patients, in a reasonable period of time, to provide a proof of concept of the safety and efficacy of nivolumab in this population. Therefore, we think that an open-label, one arm phase 2 trial, with a rapid accrual, would be currently a crucial approach and a window of opportunity to explore whether nivolumab could find its place in PLWHIV with NSCLC. Such a trial is typically a trial for an academic sponsor, experienced in PLWHIV with NSCLC, which previously showed its ability to recruit patients with such a rare disease as the IFCT did with the IFCT-1001 CHIVA trial, testing carboplatin plus pemetrexed followed by pemetrexed.

Start: October 2017

Personalized Neo-antigen Vaccine in Advanced Solid Tumors (NeoPepVac)

The primary objective is to assess tolerability and safety of a personalized neo-antigen vaccine containing up to 15 peptides derived from somatic mutation of the individual patient's cancer, with CAF09b as adjuvant. The vaccine formulation will be administered in combination with an approved anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 inhibitor to patients with advanced solid tumors. The endpoint is the characterization of adverse events (AE) assessed by CTCAE 4.0. The secondary objective is feasibility to manufacture a personalized neo-antigen vaccine within 6 weeks of enrolment with the PIONEER pipeline, and to evaluate the immune response before, during and after treatment with the personalized neo-antigen vaccine. And evaluate the effect on the immune response correlated to dose escalation of peptides in the vaccine. The endpoint is to evaluate the induction of adaptive immune responses to the personalized neo-antigen vaccine measured by functional assays and peptide-MHC multimer stainings. The tertiary objective is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the treatment. The endpoints will be objective responses (OR), progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

A Trial of Integrating SBRT With Targeted Therapy in Stage IV Oncogene-driven NSCLC

This research study is studying a type of radiation therapy called Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) as a possible treatment for stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a mutated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) or or displaced anaplastic lymphoma receptor tyrosine kinase (ALK) or ROS proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1) gene (= oncogene-driven NSCLC) and for which the subject has been receiving treatment with a targeted biological agent such as erlotinib, crizotinib, or other drugs.

Start: December 2014

A Study to Evaluate Immunotherapy Combinations in Participants With Lung Cancer

This is a Phase 1/1b, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation and dose-expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic, and clinical activity of etrumadenant (AB928) in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed, with or without an anti-PD-1 antibody (pembrolizumab or zimberelimab), in participants with non-squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).

Her2-positive Lung Cancer Treated With Dedicated Drug

HER2 (erbB-2/neu) is a member of the erbB receptor tyrosine kinase family. ERBB2 gene which encodes human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) is a major proliferative driver activating downstream signaling through PI3K-AKT and MEK-ERK. HER2 overexpression or gene amplification is associated with sensitivity to trastuzumab and lapatinib in breast cancer. Among actual lung cancer biomarker, HER2 remains apart. HER2 involvement is known for a long time but clinical research has been stopped for many years since the first clinical trials in unselected patients were negative. Recently trastuzumab + pertuzumab + docetaxel has been tested for first-line treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (CLEOPATRA trial). Analysis of the primary end point showed that patients who received pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and docetaxel (pertuzumab group) had a significantly longer median progression-free survival, as assessed by independent reviewers an did those who received placebo, trastuzumab, and docetaxel (control group) (hazard ratio favoring the pertuzumab group, 0.62). There is thus a strong rational for treating HER2 mutated lung cancer patient with these drugs.

Dacomitinib in Lung Cancer With Uncommon EGFR Mutations

This is a single center and exploratory study, aiming to analyze the efficacy and safety of dacomitinib-a pan-HER and irreversible TKI in subjects with diagnosed stage IIIB/IV or recurrent NSCLC. All subjects will have tumors that test positive for at least one uncommon EGFR activating mutation (do not have drug-resistant pattern, e.g. 20 insertion or 20T790M). All patients will be of histo- and/or cytopathology confirmed. Determination of the EGFR mutation type will be performed in the pathological department of Shanghai Chest Hospital. Both ARMS method or targeted sequencing are acceptable. It is not acceptable for subjects with the presence of the exon 20T790M mutation or insertion together with either EGFR activating mutations (exon 19 deletion or the L858R mutation in exon 21) or uncommon EGFR mutations. 10ml peripheral blood must be available for concomitant study. All eligible subjects must have adequate renal, hepatic, and hematologic function, as defined in "inclusion criteria". Patients will receive continuous oral therapy with the study drugs (dacomitinib 45 mg) until progressive disease as defined by RECIST version 1.1 or judged by investigator that the patient no longer derives clinical benefit from study treatment. At the time of progression and removal from study treatment, the subject may receive any regulatory approved therapy at the judgment of the investigator. Timely and complete disease assessments in this study are important. Every effort should be made to ensure disease assessments performed as scheduled to prevent the introduction of bias into the assessment of efficacy. Failure to perform any of the required disease assessments will result in the inability to determine disease status for that time point. Frequent off schedule or incomplete disease assessments have the potential to weaken the study conclusion. Subjects who have progressive disease per RECIST version 1.1 confirmed by the investigator believes it is in their best interest to continue on their study therapy, will be allowed to continue on their therapy with or without local therapy (e.g. surgical removal and/or radiation of a single lesion), at the discretion of the investigator until any alternate or additional systemic anti-cancer therapy regimen is implemented. The subsequent new cancer therapy (including, for systemic therapy, drugs administered, date of initiation and discontinuation of each drug) and OS will be recorded. Each subject will be followed for survival status and subsequent cancer therapies up to 48 months from the date of first dosing. This data may be collected from subjects by telephone, and if collected should be entered into the CRF.

Phase 1/2 Trial of Gavo-cel (TC-210) in Patients With Advanced Mesothelin-Expressing Cancer

Gavocabtagene autoleucel (gavo-cel; TC-210) is a novel cell therapy that consists of autologous genetically engineered T cells expressing a single-domain antibody that recognizes human Mesothelin, fused to the CD3-epsilon subunit which, upon expression, is incorporated into the endogenous T cell receptor (TCR) complex. This Phase 1/2 study aims to establish the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and subsequently determine an overall response rate in patients with advanced mesothelin-expressing cancers.

Start: April 2019

Almonertinib With Chemotherapy in mEGFR NSCLC

The reason for the study is to find out if an experimental combination of an oral medication called Almonertinib when used in combination with chemotherapy is more effective for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. Some lung cancers are due to mutations in the Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) which, if known, can help physicians decide the best treatment for patients. One type of mutation can occur in the gene that produces a protein on the surface of cells called the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR).

Atezolizumab in Elderly Patients With Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer and Receiving Carboplatin Paclitaxel Chemotherapy

Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) remains the leading cause of death by cancer in the world. Because of the increase in lung cancer incidence with age and the increase of life expectancy, about half of the patients are patients aged 70 or older. Several clinical trials have shown the interest of adding immunotherapy to standard 1st line chemotherapy in NSCLC. Although in these studies there was not necessarily a higher age limit, in fact the proportion of included patients aged 75 or older remains low (between 7 and 10%). It is therefore necessary to conduct a trial dedicated to these patients in order to determine whether immunotherapy is as effective and tolerated as in the general population.

Radiation and Immune Checkpoints Blockade in Metastatic NSCLC (BMS # CA209-632)

NSCLC patients with metastatic disease who have failed at least one prior treatment and have a minimum of two metastatic lesions (at least one measurable), are eligible if they have an ECOG Performance Status of 0-1. Patients will receive on Day 1, ipilimumab (every 6 weeks) concurrently with radiation (6Gy x 5 fractions). Nivolumab (every 2 weeks) will be given in addition to ipilimumab on day 22.

Double Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in PD-L1-positive Stage IV Non-small Lung CancEr

Non Small Cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains the first cause of death by cancer in the World. For the patients presenting a NSCLC stage IV, the median of survival is about 15 months today. The chemotherapy with platinum is the standard treatment for these patients but immunotherapy showed these efficacy in 1st line for patients PD-L1 positive. On the other hand, the duration of treatment by immunotherapy is not clear. Indeed, prolonged responses and long survivals have been described in patients having interrupted the treatment. In the melanoma, a treatment of 6 months of ipilimumab demonstrated its efficacy. The objective of the study is to demonstrate that a treatment of 6 months followed by an observation (stop and go) is not less effective than a treatment given until progression or toxicity. This strategy would allow to decrease the accumulated toxicities, to improve the quality of life of the patients and to decrease the costs.
