Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to test a new way of treating the most common form of lung cancer. The investigators are testing a combination of radiotherapy with two new forms of immunotherapy. This study is testing the safety and effectiveness of this treatment approach as compared to standard treatment options.

Study Arms (2)

FLT3 ligand (CDX-301), anti-CD40 antibody (CDX-1140), and SBRT

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects on either study arm with limited disease will receive SBRT to all evident sites of active disease. Subjects on Arm 1 with extensive disease will initially receive SBRT to a single site of disease but may receive additional "cycles" of FLT3 ligand, anti-CD40 antibody, and SBRT at later time points.

Drug: FLT3 Ligand (CDX-301); Biological: anti-CD40 antibody (CDX-1140); Radiation: SBRT

Standard care

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Subjects on either study arm with limited disease will receive SBRT to all evident sites of active disease.Subjects on Arm 2 with extensive disease are expected to receive some form of standard systemic therapy (e.g., docetaxel). Subjects on Arm 2 with limited disease may also receive standard systemic therapy following completion of SBRT to all sites of evident disease, at the discretion of the treating physicians.

Radiation: SBRT

Interventions

FLT3 Ligand (CDX-301) DRUG

Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) ligand is a potent hematopoietic growth factor that mobilizes stem cells and greatly increases the number of circulating dendritic cells (DCs) in blood and organs.

FLT3 ligand (CDX-301), anti-CD40 antibody (CDX-1140), and SBRT

anti-CD40 antibody (CDX-1140) BIOLOGICAL

CD40 is a key molecule in the regulation of immune responses whose activity can be modulated using antibodies. CD40 is a tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member expressed on antigen presenting cells, including dendritic cells, as well as a host of other cell types, including a wide range of tumor cells

FLT3 ligand (CDX-301), anti-CD40 antibody (CDX-1140), and SBRT

SBRT RADIATION

For subjects on Arm 1, SBRT will be delivered concurrently with FLT3 ligand during Week 1 of study therapy. If only one lesion is being treated, SBRT should be completed during week 1 (e.g., with daily treatments for a 5-fraction course of treatments every other day for a 3-fraction course). In cases where multiple lesions are being treated with SBRT (Arm 1 or Arm 2) or if treatment is interrupted due to technical issues or intercurrent illness, SBRT may extend beyond Week 1.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• Histologically proven NSCLC, not classically deemed to be amenable to curative therapy based on disease extent at the time of diagnosis or disease progression after the initial diagnosis
• Age ≥ 18 years
• Prior treatment with at least two lines of systemic therapy for advanced NSCLC, including one line of platinum-based combination chemotherapy
• Treatment with concurrent chemotherapy and immunotherapy can count as two lines of therapy for the purposes of study eligibility.
• Radiological assessment within 21 days prior to study entry demonstrating measurable disease that includes at least one pulmonary or extrapulmonary lesion ≥ 1 cm in greatest dimension that would be amenable to SBRT and at least one measurable lesion that would be outside of the SBRT treatment fields
• ECOG performance status 0-2
• Both men and women enrolled in this trial must agree to use adequate birth control measures during the trial and for at least 90 days after last receipt of study therapy. Patients and/or partners who are surgically sterile or postmenopausal are exempt from this requirement.
• The following laboratory results, within 21 days prior to first study drug administration (Arm 1) or within 21 days prior to study registration (Arm 2):
• Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 x 109/L Platelet count ≥ 100 x 109/L Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN OR creatinine clearance (by Cockcroft-Gault formula) \> 60 mL/min AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 x ULN Total bilirubin ≤ 2.0 x ULN (except patients with Gilbert's syndrome, who must have a total bilirubin ≤ 3.0 mg/dL)
• Negative SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) PCR test. COVID-19 testing may be repeated periodically based on institutional policies and must be repeated for any subject with unexplained signs (e.g., imaging findings, fever) or symptoms (e.g., anosmia) concerning for COVID-19 infection or with recent known exposure to COVID-19.

You may not qualify if:

• Prior therapy with any anti-CD40 antibody or FLT3 ligand
• Less than 21 days between registration and the last receipt of chemotherapy, targeted cancer therapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy (excluding palliative radiotherapy), or major surgery.
• Untreated central nervous system metastases. Patients with a history of brain metastases must have had no CNS-directed therapy within the past 60 days and radiological assessment within 30 days of study entry demonstrating a lack of progressive CNS disease. -Patients without a history of brain metastases and without symptoms suggestive of brain metastasis do not require staging imaging of the brain prior to study enrollment.
• Known mutation/amplification in FLT3
• Ongoing or recent (within 21 days prior to study entry) use of high dose oral corticosteroids (≥ 2 mg of dexamethasone daily or equivalent) or inhaled corticosteroids. Intranasal and/or intraarticular corticosteroid use is permitted.
• History of non-infectious pneumonitis or any ongoing pneumonitis
• History of allogeneic organ transplant or active autoimmune disease
• Other active malignancy for which systemic therapy (excluding hormonal therapy for breast or prostate cancer) is indicated.
• History of myocardial infarction, cerebral vascular accident, thrombosis, or pulmonary embolus within 12 months prior to study registration.
• Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situation that would limit compliance with study requirements as judged by the treating physicians
• Active infection requiring systemic therapy, known HIV infection, or positive test for hepatitis B surface antigen or hepatitis C (antibody screen and if positive confirmed by RNA analysis). If positive results are not indicative of a true active or chronic infection, the patient can be enrolled after discussion with, and agreement by, the Principal Investigator.
• Receipt of a live vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug. Examples of live vaccines include, but are not limited to, the following: measles, mumps, rubella, varicella/zoster (chicken pox), yellow fever, rabies, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), and typhoid vaccine. Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are generally killed virus vaccines and are allowed; however, intranasal influenza vaccines (e.g., FluMist®) are live attenuated vaccines and are not allowed.
• Subjects who are not ambulatory or ambulate using a walker are not eligible for the objective activity monitoring component of this study.
