Brief Summary

This study looks at the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation (chemoradiation) followed by immunotherapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer, with a particular focus on lung inflammation (pneumonitis). By collecting blood, stool and saliva samples, and data from lung function tests, researchers may be able to create a database of information about treatment and side effects in patients with non-small cell lung cancer who are receiving chemoradiation followed by immunotherapy. The information gained from this study may also help researchers find signs of problems with lung function earlier rather than later, since lung function is checked more often than routine care. This may improve how quickly these issues can be treated, and future patients may benefit from what is learned.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Development of pneumonitis during chemoradiotherapy and immunotherapy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

    All possible pneumonitis events will be adjudicated by an expert committee including Dr. Altan, Dr. Sheshadri, an expert infectious disease doctor, and an expert thoracic radiologist. Logistic regression will be used to assess the association between the development of pneumonitis and covariates of interest. Will also use logistic regression to model the association between the development of immune checkpoint inhibitor (CPI)-related pneumonitis and separately the development of radiation related pneumonitis. Secondary analyses of the primary endpoint will include assessing the time to the development of pneumonitis. Cox regression models will be fit in a similar manner to assess the association with the same covariates.

    Up to 12 months

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • The M.D. Anderson Symptom Index (MDASI)

    Up to 12 months

  • Use of home spirometry

    Up to 12 months

  • Development of treatment-emergent immune related adverse events (irAE)

    Up to 12 months

  • Sleep quality

    Up to 12 months

  • Financial hardship

    Up to 12 months

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Observational (biospecimen collection, standard treatment)

Patients undergo collection of blood, stool and saliva samples at baseline. Patients will also have a 6 minute walk and standard of care pulmonary function test at baseline. Patients receive standard of care treatment consisting of concurrent chemoradiation from baseline up to week 10 and immune checkpoint inhibitors from week 10-62. Patients also undergo the collection of blood, stool, saliva and No BAL sample is collected at week 10. During the course of treatment, patients also complete routine tests and procedures to monitor for side effects per standard of care including CT within 4 weeks, lung function tests including home spirometry TIW from week 10-62, bronchoscopy and/or a nasal wash to check for viral infection. Patients also complete questionnaires about symptoms and quality of life QW for weeks 1-10, BIW during weeks 10-62.
