Brief Summary

This study is to evaluate the preliminary efficacy and safety of Chidamide combined with Envafolimab in patients with PD-1 inhibitor resistant advanced NSCLC.

Detailed Description

This study including two phases: (1) Pre-test Phase, 3~6 patients will be enrolled and receive 20 mg Chidamide BIW and 400 mg Envafolimab Q4W. The main object of pre-test phase is to evaluate the preliminary safety and tolerability of Chidamide when in combination with Envafolimab. (2) Formal experiment Phase, 63 patients will be enrolled and receive 30 mg Chidamide BIW and 400 mg Envafolimab Q4W, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Chidamide when in combination with Envafolimab in patients with PD-1 inhibitor resistant advanced NSCLC.

This study is also to explore the gene expression and variation, PD-L1 and HDAC2 proteins expression levels in tumor tissue samples, the circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in plasma, and the potential correlation between peripheral blood cytokines and clinical preliminary efficacy and safety.

8. The following laboratory results within 7 days prior to study drug administration: Hemoglobin ≥90g/L independent of transfusion, Neutrophils ≥1.5×109/L, Platelets ≥90×109/L, Creatinine ≤1.5×ULN, Bilirubin ≤1.5×ULN (unless known Gilbert's disease where it must be ≤3×ULN), AST and ALT ≤2.5×ULN (unless known hepatic metastasis where it must be ≤5×ULN); INR≤1.5×ULN, PT and aPTT ≤1.5×ULN.

9. Life expectancy ≥12 weeks.

10. Have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Prior use of a PDL1 or PDL2, anti-CTLA4 antibody or any other antibody or drug that specifically targets immune checkpoint pathway.

2. Prior use of HDAC inhibitor.

3. Known history of intolerance to PD-1 inhibitor treatment.

4. Known driver genes mutation (EGFR, ALK, ROS1 or RET).

5. Use of any anti-tumor therapy or investigational agent and device within 28 days before the first dose of study drug; or received thoracic radiation >30Gy within 6 months before the first dose.

6. Use of systemic immunosuppressive therapy within 28 days before the first dose of study drug. Inhaled or topical steroids and physiological dose of systemic glucocorticoid (≤10 mg daily prednisone equivalents) are permitted.

7. Received a live vaccine within 28 days before the first dose of study drug or planned to receive during the study period. Note: Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are generally inactivated flu vaccines and are allowed; and COVID-19 vaccine also are allowed.

8. Received major surgery (craniotomy, thoracotomy or laparotomy) within 28 days before the first dose of study drug, or there are still serious and unhealed wounds, ulcers or fractures judged by the investigator during the screening period.

12. Active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past 2 years (i.e., corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) is not considered a form of systemic treatment and are allowed.

13. Known central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Previously treated brain metastases may be an exception if stable and specific other criteria are met.
