Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to test whether or not number of circulating cancer cells detected in the blood can be decreased the by combining the standard treatment (durvalumab) with Tremelimumab and additional chemotherapy

Description:

Primary objective is to measure the change in the levels of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in Cohort 1 (MRD+) due to the addition of Tremelimumab and platinum doublet chemotherapy in subjects with stage III unresectable disease with positive DNA treated with consolidation chemotherapy and immunotherapy.

Secondary Objectives:

To determine the proportion of subjects in Cohort 1 MRD+ for whom ctDNA becomes undetectable after adding chemotherapy and tremelimumab to consolidation durvalumab

To describe compare overall survival (OS) of subjects with baseline detectable ctDNA (Cohort 1 MRD+) vs baseline undetectable ctDNA (Cohort 2 MRD ) ·To compare progression free survival (PFS) between subjects with baseline detectable (Cohort 1 MRD+) vs baseline undetectable ctDNA (Cohort 2 MRD )

9. Recent major surgery within 4 weeks prior to entry into the study (excluding the placement of vascular access) that would prevent administration of study drug.

Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders which is likely to limit the subjects ability to continue durvalumab on the study (including inflammatory bowel disease [eg, colitis or Crohn's disease], diverticulitis [with the exception of diverticulosis], systemic lupus erythematosus, Sarcoidosis syndrome, or Wegener syndrome [granulomatosis with polyangiitis; Graves' disease; rheumatoid arthritis; hypophysitis; uveitis; etc]). Those with history of autoimmune or inflammatory disorders who are currently tolerating durvalumab may be eligible to participate with approval from the PI.

1. Vitiligo or alopecia

2. Hypothyroidism (eg, following Hashimoto syndrome) stable on hormone replacement

11. History of primary immunodeficiency

• Grade 3 or higher clinically significant infection

• Active known Hepatitis B [known positive results for HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) within 2 months prior to enrollment]. EXCEPTION: Subjects with a past or resolved HBV infection, defined as the presence of hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) and absence of HBsAg are eligible

• Active known Hepatitis C (HCV). EXCEPTION: Subjects positive for HCV antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for HCV RNA

• Active known tuberculosis infection (clinical evaluation that may include clinical history, physical examination and radiographic findings, or tuberculosis testing in line with local practice).

• Active known HIV infection

15. Receipt of live attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of concurrent chemotherapy and durvalumab. Note: Subjects, if enrolled, should not receive live vaccine through 30 days after the last dose of chemotherapy concurrent with durvalumab.

• Ongoing or active infection

• Symptomatic congestive heart failure

• Uncontrolled hypertension

• Unstable angina pectoris

• Cardiac arrhythmia

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change in ctDNA Level Following Chemotherapy	Participants in Cohort 1 MRD+ will be assessed for ctDNA levels at baseline and end of treatment, expected to be 4 cycles of 3 weeks per cycle (defined as ctDNA evaluable set or ctDES). The outcome will be assessed as the number of participants with a = 3 fold decrease in ctDNA level, a number without dispersion.	12 weeks
Secondary	Presence of Detectable ctDNA Following Chemotherapy	Participants in Cohort 1 MRD+ will be assessed for ctDNA levels at baseline and end of treatment, expected to be 4 cycles of 3 weeks per cycle. The outcome will be assessed as the number of participants with or without detectable ctDNA, a number without dispersion.	12 weeks
Secondary	Overall Survival (OS)	Overall survival (OS) is defined as the period a participant remains alive after study registration until death due to any cause. Participants lost to follow up will be censored at last known date alive. The outcome will be reported as the number of participants in both cohorts remaining alive after 2 years, a number without dispersion.	2 years
Secondary	Progression free survival (PFS)	Progression free survival (PFS) is defined as the period a participant remains alive without disease progression after study registration. Tumor status is assessed per the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) by computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET) CT; and/or X rays. Participants lost to follow up will be censored at last known date alive. The outcome will be reported as the number of participants in both cohorts remaining alive without progression after 2 years, a number without dispersion.; Complete Response (CR) = Disappearance of all lesions; Partial Response (PR) = =30% decrease in the sum of the lesion diameters; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR; Progressive disease (PD) = 20% increase in the sum of lesion diameters, and/or the appearance of 1+ new lesion(s); Stable disease (SD) = Small changes that do not meet any of the above criteria	2 years
Secondary	Durvalumab and Tremelimumab related Adverse Events (Cohort 1 MRD+ only)	Adverse events will be collected for participants of Cohort 1 (MRD+) who initiate treatment with durvalumab and tremelimumab through 930 days after the last dose of durvalumab. AE grade per the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v5) criteria and relationship to study treatment will be assessed. The outcome will be reported as the number of durvalumab and tremelimumab related adverse events by grade that Cohort 1 MRD+ participants experienced.	13 months
