Brief Summary

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

Open-label, single-arm, prospective multicenter phase II clinical trial to determine the efficacy of immunotherapy with durvalumab concomitant with radiochemotherapy, followed by durvalumab maintenance therapy in combination with stereotactic radiotherapy in extensive stage SCLC

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an open-label, prospective, multi-center single-arm phase II trial. Patients with oligometastatic extensive stage SCLC will be enrolled in the trial. In this trial oligometastatic disease is defined as up to five tumor lesions, whereas the primary tumor including mediastinal lymph node metastases counts as one tumor lesion. The primary tumor including lymph node metastases must be suitable for radiochemotherapy and all distant metastases for stereotactic radiotherapy. Patients must have completed systemic therapy with two cycles of platinum/etoposide/durvalumab and have stable disease or partial response according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. After study inclusion, patients receive radiochemotherapy with concomitant durvalumab (MEDI4736). Concomitant chemotherapy consists of further two cycles platinum/etoposide q3w (summarized cycle 3-4). Dosing of chemotherapy is etoposide 90mg/m² body surface area (BSA) day 1-3 in combination with cisplatin 75mg/m² BSA on day 1 or carboplatin area under the curve (AUC) 5 mg/ml per minute on day 1. Split dose of platinum chemotherapy to 2-3 days is an allowed treatment option. Durvalumab is administered in fixed dose 1500mg in q3w cycles concomitant to chemotherapy and q4w cycles during maintenance treatment. Radiotherapy to the primary tumor including mediastinal lymph node metastases is delivered in single fractions of 1.8Gy once daily up to a cumulative dose of 63.0Gy by intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) or volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). In the following, stereotactic radiotherapy is delivered to the up to four further tumor locations during durvalumab maintenance therapy. Sequencing of radiotherapy of the primary tumor and metastases may be changed if radiotherapy of brain, vertebral or other symptomatic metastases is urgently necessary. Stereotactic radiotherapy will be performed according to local standards with established dose and fractionation schemes in ablative doses depending on the affected organ system.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

For inclusion in the study patients must fulfill all of the following criteria:

1. Histologically confirmed first diagnosis of ES-SCLC according to the Veterans Administration Lung Study Group (VALG) Staging System for SCLC1 (disease extension that cannot be treated within one radiation field).
2. Oligometastatic disease defined as follows:

* Primary tumor with or without mediastinal or supraclavicular lymph node metastases (counts as one lesion if it can be treated within one radiation field).
* Up to four distant tumor lesions/metastases that can be treated with stereotactic radiotherapy (stereotactic radiotherapy of lung metastases in addition to radiochemotherapy of primary tumor should previously be discussed with the principal investigator).
* No cytologically confirmed malignant pleural effusion (in case of suspected malignant pleural effusion in imaging, pleurocentesis for cytological assessment is required).
3. Stable disease (SD) or partial response (PR) according to RECIST 1.1 criteria after previous treatment with two cycles of platinum/etoposide/durvalumab.
4. Adequate lung function defined as forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) ≥1.3 liter in spirometry.
5. 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. Written informed consent including European Union Data Privacy Directive obtained from the patient prior to performing any protocol-related procedures, including screening evaluations.
6. Age \> 18 years at time of study entry.
