About this study

The hypothesis of this study is that functional tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) isolation from resected lung cancer specimens is feasible, allowing determination of tumor antigen-specific T cell reactivities. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility of isolating functional tumor infiltrating lymphocytes s(TILs) to determine tumor antigen-specific T cell re-activities in 30 resected lung tumor specimens. Successful isolation of TILs will be defined as collecting 1x10-6 viable, CD45+ mononuclear cells or greater from tumors containing >/=1 gram of excess tissue. If successful isolation of TILs can be obtained from >/= 66% of resected tumor specimens, the protocol will be considered feasible. The primary exploratory objective is to identify immunologic signatures that predict clinical outcomes from cytotoxic chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy.

Read the detailed description

Investigating tumor infiltrating lymphocytes in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) is of clinical importance for multiple reasons. Cellular, antigen, and cytokine profiles associated with favorable clinical outcomes after therapy are currently lacking in lung cancer, and these results may lead to the development of clinically important prognostic and predictive biomarkers. Additionally, by determining the specific cell types and antigen targets of effector cells in the microenvironment, strategies can be devised to alter mechanisms regulating tumor immune tolerance. These data may ultimately enable future, novel combinational approaches of anti-tumor therapies through early phase clinical trials designed to improve clinical outcomes for patients with lung cancer. Finally, by correlating immunologic profiles with clinical outcomes (including pathologic response and progression free survival), signatures can be derived to help predict benefit from cytotoxic chemotherapy for patients receiving these treatments.

This study will plan to enroll a total of 30 patients. This number will consist of a combination of early stage NSCLC patients receiving no neoadjuvant therapy, standard neoadjuvant cytotoxic chemotherapy, or immune checkpoint therapy as well as patients with metastatic disease undergoing tumor resection that have received prior systemic therapy of interest, including but not limited to anti-PD1/PDL agents.

Standard diagnostic and staging work up will be performed, including pathologic/histologic diagnosis of cancer. Patients will receive therapy as deemed appropriate by their treating physician as per standard clinical care or as part of a clinical cancer trial. There is no randomization nor stratification. Patients will not receive any information about the assays/research performed as these are for research purposes only.

Data from patients will be extracted from medical records and images. Data elements that will be extracted include the following: age, sex, tumor histology and stage, chemotherapy regimens and immune-modulating therapy dose and schedule, disease response (outcomes).

Tumor specimen samples will be collected at the time of definitive surgical resection of tumor. After the specimen has been processed for margin status and the frozen section assessment of the specimen is complete, a specimen of excess tumor (at least 1gm) will be released and acquired by the tumor immunology correlative science staff for isolation of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes for purposes of this protocol with any remaining tissue to be processed by the Duke Biorepository staff if the subject has consented to biobanking. For those subjects that decline participation in this biorepository tissue will be processed as outlined above.

Blood will be collected prior to surgery to assess activated CD8+ T cells with specificity against tumor antigens and CD4 and CD8 functional memory.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Quantity of functional tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) to determine tumor antigen-specific T cell re-activities.

    Successful isolation of TILs will be defined as collecting 1x10-6 viable, CD45+ mononuclear cells or greater from tumors containing >/= 1 gm excess tissue in 30 resected lung tumor specimens.

    Measured: At surgery (timepoint variable depending on pre-operative therapy)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-small Cell Lung Carcinoma, run by Duke University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Quantity of functional tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) to determine tumor antigen-specific T cell re-activities. (time frame: At surgery (timepoint variable depending on pre-operative therapy)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Sep 2019.
