Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Lung Neoplasms | Drug: Durvalumab | Phase 2 |
Prospective, non-randomized, open label, single arm, multi-institutional, phase 2 study, including patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer able to receive concurrent chemoradiation. Eligible patients will then receive treatment as follows:
Induction chemo-immunotherapy Two 21-day cycles of carboplatin, paclitaxel and durvalumab will be given BEFORE concurrent chemo-immuno-radiotherapy.
Thereafter, patients without progressive disease (or patients with disease progression that is still locally advanced and can be safely encompassed within tolerable radiation fields) will receive concurrent chemo-immuno-radiotherapy, as follows:
Concurrent chemo-immuno-radiotherapy Concurrent carboplatin, paclitaxel, and durvalumab with radiation therapy, initiated preferably 3-5 weeks after the last dose of induction chemo-immunotherapy.
Thereafter, patients without progressive disease will receive consolidation immunotherapy, as follows:
Consolidation immunotherapy Twelve 28-day cycles of durvalumab will be given, initiated preferably within one week following concurrent chemo-immuno-radiotherapy.

Experimental: DURVALUMAB (MEDI4736) + carboplatin-paclitaxel
Induction chemo-immunotherapy phase: Two cycles of Paclitaxel 200 mg/m2, Carboplatin AUC 6 and Durvalumab 1500 mg intravenously every 21 days. Concurrent chemo-immuno-radiotherapy phase: Radiation therapy concomitantly with: paclitaxel 50 mg/m2 intravenously every 7 days (+/- 3 days) until completion of radiation therapy, carboplatin AUC 2 intravenously every 7 days (+/- 3 days) until completion of radiation therapy and durvalumab 1500 mg intravenously every 21 days (+/- 6 days) for a maximum of 2 doses. Concurrent chemo-immuno-radiotherapy: Durvalumab 1500 mg intravenously every 28 days (+/- 7 days) for a maximum of 12 doses |
Drug: Durvalumab

Other Names:
|
- 12 months Progression-Free Survival [ Time Frame: Tumor scans will be performed at baseline, after the induction and concomitant phases and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after the last dose of radiation therapy. ]Proportion of patients who are alive and progression-free 12 months after cycle 1, day 1 of induction treatment, estimated by the Kaplan-Maier method and using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1.
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: OS will be evaluated until month 24 after C1D1. ]Time from cycle 1, day 1 of induction treatment until death due to any cause.
- Overall response rate to induction treatment [ Time Frame: Tumor scans will be performed at baseline, after the induction and concomitant phases and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after the last dose of radiation therapy. ]The proportion of patients with at least one tumor scan of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) using RECIST v1.1.
- Patterns of Failure [ Time Frame: Tumor scans will be performed at baseline, after the induction and concomitant phases and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after the last dose of radiation therapy. ]Rate of disease failure in local, regional and distant sites
