Who may be able to join
- Capable of giving signed informed consent which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol
- Stage III NSCLC (AJCC 7th and 8th edition) patients who received standard chemoradiation followed by durvalumab therapy with either progressive disease or persistent disease. Persistent disease defined as residual positron emission tomography (PET) avidity 6 months after completion of initial definitive therapy and confirmed with biopsy
- For lung adenocarcinoma patients, patients must not harbor any EGFR sensitizing mutations, ALK fusion, ROS1 rearrangements, RET fusions, or MET exon 14 skipping mutations where there are standard of care therapy options available. For patients with histologies other than adenocarcinoma, EGFR and ALK status is not required. Adenocarcinoma patients may be consented prior to the EGFR, ALK, and ROS1 status being known, but EGFR, ALK, and ROS1 status must be determined prior to initiating therapy. EGFR, ALK, and ROS ALK status may be determined using either tumor- or plasma-based, Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA)-certified assays. For patients with NSCLC, not otherwise specified (NOS), EGFR testing is not required, as the frequency of alterations is exceedingly rare in this histology
- Cohort A: Oligoprogressive disease is defined as having 3 or fewer lesions of progression (sites can be local, distant, or both). Multiple mediastinal lesions will be counted as 1 lesion
- Cohort B: Polyprogressive disease defined as having greater than 3 lesions of progression (sites can be local, distant, or both). Multiple mediastinal lesions will be counted as 1 lesion

About this study
Official title: Local Consolidative Therapy (LCT) and Durvalumab (MEDI4736) for Oligoprogressive and Polyprogressive Stage III NSCLC After Chemoradiation and Anti-PD-L1 Therapy (ENDURE)
This phase II trial finds out the effect of local consolidative therapy and durvalumab in treating patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that has 3 or fewer lesions of progression (oligoprogressive) and greater than 3 lesions of progression (polyprogressive) after chemoradiation and anti-PD-l1 therapy. Local consolidative therapy, such as surgery and/or radiation, after initial treatment may kill any remaining tumor cells. Immunotherapy with durvalumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving local consolidative therapy and durvalumab may help to control the disease.
Read the detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- To determine the efficacy of local consolidative therapy (LCT) followed by durvalumab for oligoprogressive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) compared to historical standard control in terms of progression-free survival (PFS).
II. To determine the efficacy of LCT followed by chemotherapy and durvalumab for polyprogressive NSCLC compared to historical standard control in terms of PFS.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

II. To determine the efficacy of LCT followed by chemotherapy and durvalumab for polyprogressive NSCLC compared to historical standard control in terms of OS1.
III. To determine the efficacy of LCT followed by durvalumab for oligoprogressive NSCLC compared to historical standard control in terms of OS2.
IV. To determine the efficacy of LCT followed by chemotherapy and durvalumab for polyprogressive NSCLC compared to historical standard control in terms of OS2.
- To assess patterns of failure after LCT followed by durvalumab for oligoprogressive NSCLC.
VI. To assess patterns of failure of LCT followed by chemotherapy and durvalumab for polyprogressive NSCLC.
VII. To assess quality of life of LCT followed by durvalumab for oligoprogressive NSCLC.
VIII. To assess quality of life of LCT followed by chemotherapy and durvalumab for polyprogressive NSCLC.
SAFETY OBJECTIVES:
- To assess the safety and tolerability profile of LCT followed by durvalumab for oligoprogressive NSCLC.
II. To assess the safety and tolerability profile of LCT followed by chemotherapy and durvalumab for polyprogressive NSCLC.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
- Biomarker analyses on tumor biopsies pre-radiation, while on systemic therapy (cycle 2), and optional at progression, as well as blood collections pre-radiation, pre-durvalumab, while on systemic therapy (cycle 2), every other restaging scan, and optional at progression.
II. Microbiome analyses on stool sample pre-radiation, pre-systemic therapy, and at progression.
OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts.
COHORT A (OLIGOPROGRESSIVE): Patients undergo LCT consisting of radiation therapy and/or surgery, then receive durvalumab intravenously (IV) over 1 hour on day 1. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
COHORT B (POLYPROGRESSIVE): Patients undergo LCT consisting of radiation therapy and/or surgery, then receive durvalumab IV over 1 hour on day 1. Patients also receive one of the following chemotherapy options: carboplatin and paclitaxel on day 1, carboplatin on day 1 and nab-paclitaxel on days 1, 8, 15, or carboplatin on day 1 and gemcitabine on days 1 and 8. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with non-squamous histology receive pemetrexed on day 1 every 21 days for cycles 1-4, pemetrexed and durvalumab IV on day 1 every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 12 weeks for 2 years.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Progression free survival (PFS)
The Kaplan-Meier product-limit estimate of the PFS function will be estimated and displayed for each treatment group. The median PFS time will be given with 95% confidence interval. Summaries of the number and percentage of patients experiencing a PFS event, and the type of event (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 or death) will be provided. As comparative analysis, the one-sample log-rank test will be used to test difference in PFS between treatment and the historical control.
Measured: From local consolidative therapy (LCT) initiation until progression or death, assessed up to 2 years
Secondary outcomes (6)
Overall survival (OS)1
Will be estimated in each study cohort by Kaplan-Meier estimate. Summaries of the number and percentage of patients who have died, are still in survival follow-up, are lost to follow-up and have withdrawn consent will be provided along with median OS. Furthermore, one-sample log-rank test will be used to test difference in OS between treatment and historical control. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards model will be fitted to investigate the association between OS1/OS2 and other important prognostic variables such as age, histology, and gender.
Measured: From diagnosis to death, assessed up to 2 years
OS2
Will be estimated in each study cohort by Kaplan-Meier estimate. Summaries of the number and percentage of patients who have died, are still in survival follow-up, are lost to follow-up and have withdrawn consent will be provided along with median OS. Furthermore, one-sample log-rank test will be used to test difference in OS between treatment and historical control. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards model will be fitted to investigate the association between OS1/OS2 and other important prognostic variables such as age, histology, and gender.
Measured: From LCT initiation until death, assessed up to 2 years
Rate of intralobar progression
Will be determined by surveillance imaging. Will be assessed using Kaplan-Meier estimate.
Measured: Up to 2 years
Rate of mediastinal progression
Will be determined by surveillance imaging. Will be assessed using Kaplan-Meier estimate.
Measured: Up to 2 years
Rate of distant progression
Will be determined by surveillance imaging. Will be assessed using Kaplan-Meier estimate.
Measured: Up to 2 years
Quality of life questionnaires
Will include MDA Symptom Inventory - Lung Cancer mean score and standard deviation for each time point. The trajectory and trend of QOL will also be assessed by plotting MDASI-LC score vs time by treatment arm. The impact of patient and treatment characteristics will be evaluated by other analyses such as area under the curve and linear mixed models.
Measured: Up to 2 years
