Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of certolizumab when it is given with the chemotherapy drugs cisplatin and pemetrexed. Cisplatin and pemetrexed are two chemotherapy drugs used in the treatment of lung cancer. The investigators want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, certolizumab has on the patient and lung cancer.

Study Groups

certolizumab, cisplatin and pemetrexed

Patients will receive certolizumab with 6 cycles of cisplatin \& pemetrexed. Cycle of chemo will be 3 weeks. Certolizumab will be adm in the following fashion: first dose administered at the time of treatment initiation, second dose will be given after 2 weeks of treatment, third dose after four weeks of treatment, \& subsequent doses given every 4 weeks thereafter. Patients will be monitored for progression of disease using RECIST 1.1 with scans to be performed every 6 weeks. Posttreatment biopsies will be performed at the time of treatment discontinuation. Two dose levels of certolizumab will be tested, 200mg \& 400mg. A non-therapeutic cohort of 10 patients with adenocarcinomas who will be undergoing standard of care treatment with platinum based chemotherapy + pemetrexed +/- bevacizumab will be consented for blood draws before each cycle of treatment. This blood will be analyzed for cytokines and will serve as a reference for the experimental arm.
