Metastatic Lung Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell CarcinomaPhase 2NCT04310007
Testing the Addition of the Pill Chemotherapy, Cabozantinib, to the Standard Immune Therapy Nivolumab Compared to Standard Chemotherapy for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
A Phase 2 study testing Biospecimen Collection, Cabozantinib S-malate and Computed Tomography in people with Metastatic Lung Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Carcinoma and Recurrent Lung Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Carcinoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 611 sites in United States.
Trial summary
This phase II trial compares cabozantinib alone and the combination of cabozantinib and nivolumab to standard chemotherapy in the treatment of patients with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Read more about this study

Who may be able to join
- RANDOMIZATION (STEP 1): Patient must be >= 18 years of age
- RANDOMIZATION (STEP 1): Patient must have pathologically confirmed non-squamous non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Patients with NSCLC not otherwise specified (NOS) are eligible. Mixed tumors will be categorized by predominant cell type. If small cell elements are present, the patient is ineligible
- RANDOMIZATION (STEP 1): Patient must have metastatic stage IVA or IVB disease (includes M1a, M1b, and M1c), according to the 8th edition of the lung cancer TNM classification system. Recurrent metastatic NSCLC ineligible for curative therapy (in the treating investigator's opinion) is also allowed
- RANDOMIZATION (STEP 1): Patient's tumor must be known negative for EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) sensitizing mutations (for example at a minimum, negative for EGFR Exon 19 deletions, EGFR exon 20 insertions, and Exon 21 L858R, L861Q mutations ) AND negative for ALK gene rearrangements (by fluorescence in situ hybridization [FISH], next generation sequencing [NGS], or immunohistochemistry [IHC]) by routine Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)- or Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-certified clinical testing methods. CLIA or FDA approved circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) testing is acceptable as an alternative to tissue testing
- RANDOMIZATION (STEP 1): Patient must have radiographic and/or clinical progression (per local investigator assessment) following one, but only one, line of platinum-based chemotherapy AND one, but only one, line of prior checkpoint inhibitor (anti-PD-1 or PD-L1) immunotherapy, either concurrently or sequentially in either order. A minimum of two doses of prior immunotherapy is required. Only one prior line of therapy is allowed if patients received chemotherapy and immunotherapy together (patients may not receive subsequent single agent chemotherapy), and greater than two prior lines of therapy are not allowed.
- NOTE: Lines of therapy are defined by clinical or radiographic progression. For patients with recurrent metastatic NSCLC following treatment for stage 1-3 NSCLC, platinum-based chemotherapy received within 12 months of recurrence and/or immunotherapy received within 6 months of recurrence will meet the requirement for prior chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy but subsequent receipt of more immunotherapy and/or platinum-based chemotherapy is also allowed.
Show all 82Show fewer
- NOTE: Prior anti-VEGF antibody therapy (ie bevacizumab) is allowed. Prior ipilimumab, or investigational agents not excluded below, in combination with the required prior therapies above are allowed.
- NOTE: Prior receipt of one or two lines of targeted therapy for ROS1, RET, MET, BRAF, ERBB2/HER2, or KRAS G12C positive NSCLC is allowed and will not count toward the line of therapy limit. However, progression is still required after chemotherapy and immunotherapy as above. Patients with ROS1, RET, MET positive NSCLC are strongly encouraged to get appropriate targeted therapy (such as crizotinib, entrectinib, lorlatinib, selpercatinib, pralsetinib, capmatinib, tepotinib, or another investigational, off-label, or approved agent directed against ROS1, RET, or MET positive NSCLC) prior to participation and will be stratified.
- NOTE: No prior predominantly VEGFR directed TKI therapy (such as cabozantinib, lenvatinib, or sitravantinib) is allowed, except for the agents named above.
- RANDOMIZATION (STEP 1): The investigator must document the intended chemotherapy regimen should their patient be randomized to Arm C (docetaxel and ramucirumab, OR single agent chemotherapy - docetaxel, gemcitabine, paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel). The patient must not have received the selected chemotherapy agent previously for metastatic disease
- RANDOMIZATION (STEP 1): Any prior chemotherapy (based on administration schedule) must have been completed in greater than or equal to the following times prior to randomization:

About this study
Official title: A Randomized Phase II Trial of Cabozantinib and Cabozantinib Plus Nivolumab Versus Standard Chemotherapy in Patients With Previously Treated Non-Squamous NSCLC
This phase II trial compares cabozantinib alone and the combination of cabozantinib and nivolumab to standard chemotherapy in the treatment of patients with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Ramucirumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as docetaxel, gemcitabine hydrochloride, paclitaxel, and nab-paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving cabozantinib alone or in combination with nivolumab may be more effective than standard chemotherapy in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
Read the detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
- To determine whether cabozantinib alone, or the combination of nivolumab and cabozantinib, as compared to standard chemotherapy alone, extends progression-free survival (PFS) for this patient population with non squamous NSCLC.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
- To determine the overall survival for each arm of the trial. II. To evaluate the best overall radiographic response rate for each arm of the trial.
III. To evaluate and describe the toxicity profile of monotherapy with cabozantinib, and the combination of nivolumab and cabozantinib in this patient population with non-squamous NSCLC.
EXPLORATORY IMAGING OBJECTIVES:
- To describe time point tumor response assessment, overall best response, progression-free survival and overall survival using the conventional Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria and the exploratory revised CHOI criteria with all measurements performed by the central review.
II. To compare the progression-free survival using the RECIST1.1 imaging response assessment measurements by site study personnel to those performed by central review.
EXPLORATORY CORRELATIVE OBJECTIVE:
- To perform correlative biomarker research on tissue and blood biospecimens collected within this trial.
OUTLINE:
STEP 1: Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 arms.
ARM A: Patients receive cabozantinib S-malate orally (PO) once daily (QD). Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients may continue to receive therapy after investigator-assessed RECIST 1.1 defined progression, including stable clinical and performance status and have potential for continued clinical benefit.
ARM B: Patients receive cabozantinib S-malate PO QD and nivolumab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day 1. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients may continue to receive therapy after investigator-assessed RECIST 1.1 defined progression, including stable clinical and performance status and have potential for continued clinical benefit.
ARM C: Patients receive ramucirumab IV over 30-60 minutes and docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1, or docetaxel IV over 1 hour on days 1 and 8, or gemcitabine hydrochloride IV on days 1 and 8, or paclitaxel IV over 3 hours on day 1, or nab-paclitaxel IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity and at the discretion of the treating physician.
STEP 2: Patients in Arm C experiencing disease progression are assigned to Arm Z.
ARM Z: Patients receive cabozantinib S-malate PO QD and nivolumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients may continue to receive therapy after investigator-assessed RECIST 1.1 defined progression, including stable clinical and performance status and have potential for continued clinical benefit.
Patients in all arms undergo echocardiogram (ECHO) as clinically indicated, computed tomography (CT) throughout the trial, and collection of blood on study.
After the completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for up to 3 years.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Progression-free survival (PFS) for patient population with non-squamous no-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
The final analysis of PFS will be performed when the full information of PFS is reached (i.e., 58 events for each of the two primary comparisons). The two primary comparisons of PFS will each use a logrank test stratified on the randomization stratification factors with a one-sided type I error rate of 10%. Estimates of PFS including medians and confidence intervals, will be calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox proportional hazards models, stratified, on the same factors, will be used to estimate the treatment hazard ratios. At the final analyses, in the event that both primary PFS comparisons of the combination of nivolumab with cabozantinib and cabozantinib alone versus the standard chemotherapy are statistically significant, PFS will be compared between the two experimental arms (combination of nivolumab with cabozantinib versus [vs.] cabozantinib alone), using a stratified log rank test with a one-sided type I error rate of 10%.
Measured: After 58 events (From time of randomization to documented disease progression [site review of imaging] or death from any cause, whichever occurs first)
Secondary outcomes (3)
Overall survival (OS) for each arm
The final analysis of OS will be performed when the full information of PFS is reached (i.e., 58 events for each of the two primary comparisons). OS will be tested in a hierarchical fashion if the primary comparison of PFS between treatment arms is statistically significant, using a log rank test stratified on the randomization stratification factors with a one-sided type I error rate of 10%. Estimates of OS, including medians and confidence intervals, will be calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox proportional hazards models, stratified, on the same factors, will be used to estimate the treatment hazard ratios. OS will be further tested in a hierarchical fashion if the comparison of PFS between the two experimental arms is statistically significant. Point estimates of all endpoints will be accompanied by the corresponding two-sided 80% confidence intervals. Subset analyses of PFS and OS by treatment arm will be estimated and compared within subsets.
Measured: From time of randomization to documented disease progression (site review of imaging) or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 3 years
Best objective response for each arm
Will be evaluated via Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria. Response rates (complete response [CR] + partial response [PR]) and toxicity will be compared using Fisher's exact tests with a one-sided type I error rate of 10%; multivariable logistic regression modeling will be used to adjust for the effect of any covariates that are associated with these categorical outcomes. Modeling procedures will implement backward selection; variables significant at the 0.10 level in the univariate setting will be chosen for inclusion in an initial full model, and at each step the least significant variable will be removed from the model. Only those covariates with p < 0.05 will remain in any final models, unless there are factors identified by the study team as crucial to model interpretation. Point estimates of all endpoints will be accompanied by the corresponding two-sided 80% confidence intervals.
Measured: Every 6 weeks for the first year on study, and then every 12 weeks after year one
Toxicity profile of monotherapy with cabozantinib, and the combination of nivolumab and cabozantinib
Will be determined using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) criteria. Response rates (complete response [CR] + pathologic response [PR]) and toxicity will be compared using Fisher's exact tests with a one-sided type I error rate of 10%; multivariable logistic regression modeling will be used to adjust for the effect of any covariates that are associated with these categorical outcomes. Modeling procedures will implement backward selection; variables significant at the 0.10 level in the univariate setting will be chosen for inclusion in an initial full model, and at each step the least significant variable will be removed from the model. Only those covariates with p < 0.05 will remain in any final models, unless there are factors identified by the study team as crucial to model interpretation. Point estimates of all endpoints will be accompanied by the corresponding two-sided 80% confidence intervals.
Measured: Up to 3 years after completion of study treatment
