Clinical Trial Summary

This phase I trial studies the side effects of atezolizumab, varlilumab, and radiation therapy in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced) and cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies such as atezolizumab may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies such as varlilumab may induce changes in body?s immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving atezolizumab, varlilumab, and radiation therapy may increase the amount of time the disease is not active or does not spread to another part of the body.


Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To assess the safety and tolerability of combined therapy with atezolizumab and varlilumab in combination with radiation in adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have progressed on prior PD-1/PD-L1 therapy. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine objective response rate (excluding the irradiated lesion) of therapy with atezolizumab and varlilumab in combination with radiation. II. To estimate clinical benefit rate of the combination. III. To estimate median progression-free survival of the combination. IV. To compare the frequency of immune-related adverse events (irAEs). OUTLINE: Patients receive varlilumab intravenously (IV) oand atezolizumab IV every 3 weeks or each cycle. Between cycle 1 and 2, patients also receive stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days, then every 3 months for up to 1 year.

Treatment should be initiated at least 4 weeks since last dose of systemic therapy - Subjects with an actionable molecular alteration (such as EGFR mutation, ALK or ROS1 rearrangement, BRAF V600E mutation) are eligible only after failing standard-of-care targeted therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). Patients with a EGFR T790M resistant mutation must have failed a 3rd generation TKI such as osimertinib - Must not have received any prior therapy with immune regulatory molecule (such as targeting OX-40, IDO-1, LAG-3) or anti-CD27 monoclonal antibody (including varlilumab) - Must have at least one lesion that has not previously been irradiated (and is not within a previously radiated field) and for which palliative radiation is potentially indicated. The lesion to be irradiated must be in the lung. Patient must have at least one additional measurable lesion (other than the lesion being radiated) as per immune-related Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (irRECIST) criteria. Patient must agree to undergo a mandatory biopsy of the non-irradiated lesion pre-treatment and post-treatment (after cycle 2).

Females of childbearing potential are defined as sexually mature women without prior hysterectomy or who have had any evidence of menses in the past 12 months. However, women who have been amenorrheic for 12 or more months are still considered to be of childbearing potential if the amenorrhea is possibly due to prior chemotherapy, anti-estrogens, or ovarian suppression - Women of childbearing potential (i.e., menstruating women) must have a negative urine pregnancy test (positive urine tests are to be confirmed by serum test) documented within 14 days of treatment initiation - Sexually active women of childbearing potential enrolled in the study must agree to use 2 forms of accepted methods of contraception during the course of the study and for 12 weeks after their last dose of study drug. Effective birth control includes (a) intrauterine device plus 1 barrier method; (b) on stable doses of hormonal contraception for at least 3 months (e.g., oral, injectable, implant, transdermal) plus one barrier method; (c) 2 barrier methods.

Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the subject?s participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator - Known active, untreated central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis except for patients with =< 3 small (< 0.6 cm) asymptomatic brain lesions where treatment is not indicated. Patients with neurological symptoms must undergo a head computed tomography (CT) scan or brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to exclude brain metastasis. Patients whose brain metastases have been treated may participate provided they show radiographic stability (defined as 2 brain images obtained after treatment to the brain metastases at least 4 weeks apart and show no evidence of intracranial progression) - Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or active hepatitis B (by surface antigen expression or polymerase chain reaction [PCR]) or active hepatitis C (by PCR) infection - Diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving systemic steroid therapy (> 10 mg daily prednisone equivalent) or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to study registration - Has active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (i.e., with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs) or a documented history of clinically severe autoimmune disease, or a syndrome that requires systemic steroids or immunosuppressive agents.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other To Compare Pre- and Post-treatment Tumor PD-L1 Expression Will be assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and will score the percentage of cells staining positively for PD-L1 incrementally. Scoring will be performed for the percentage of malignant tumor cells and for the percentage of nonmalignant inflammatory cell compartment that express PD-L1, separately. Baseline up to cycle 2, day 8 (each cycle is 21 days)
Other To Compare Pre- and Post-treatment Tumor Levels of Infiltrating CD3+, CD8+ T-cells Will be assessed by IHC staining to identify tumor infiltrating lymphocytes at the tumor stroma interface. Baseline up to cycle 2, day 8 (each cycle is 21 days)
Primary Number of Participants With Grade 3 and 4 Toxicity Will include grade 3 and 4 toxicities as defined by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. Up to 30 days after the last dose of treatment, an average of a year
Secondary To Determine Objective Response Rate (ORR) of Therapy Will be defined as the proportion of all subjected confirmed with an immune-related partial response (irPR) or immune-related complete response (irCR) divided by the number of assigned patients according to immune-related Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (irRECIST). From the start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence, assessed up to 1 year
Secondary To Estimate Clinical Benefit Rate of the Combination Will be defined as the percentage of patients who achieve irCR, irPR, and immune-related stable disease. Up to 1 year
Secondary To Estimate Median Progression-free Survival (PFS) of the Combination The log-rank test will be used to analyze PFS for comparison of treatment effects, i.e., the only covariate that will be used is the treatment arm. Distributions of PFS times will be estimated using the Kaplan- Meier product-limit method. The median PFS times with two-sided 95% confidence intervals will be estimated for each treatment group. From cycle 1, day 1 (each cycle is 21 days) of treatment until the criteria for disease progression is met as defined by irRECIST or death as a result of any cause, assessed up to 1 year
Secondary To Compare the Frequency of Immune-related Adverse Events (irAEs) irAE's are defined as any treatment-related AE that is inflammatory in nature, consistent with the mechanism of action of immunotherapy and generally medically manageable with topical and/or systemic immunosuppressants. Up to 30 days after the last dose of treatment
