NCT05226728

Brief Summary

Pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy has become the standard therapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with a fixed dose of 200mg every 3 weeks. The investigators performed this study to explore the clinical efficacy and safety of pharmacokinetic (PK)-guided pembrolizumab administration in advanced NSCLC.

Study Arms (1)

pharmacokinetic-guided pembrolizumab cohort

EXPERIMENTAL

Eligible patients received pembrolizumab 200mg every 3 weeks with or without chemotherapy for four cycles, then for patients without progressive disease, pembrolizumab was administrated in new dose-intervals according to steady state plasma-concentration (Css) of pembrolizumab until disease progression.

Drug: pembrolizumab

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • cytologically or histologically confirmed primary NSCLC;
  • Stage IV primary NSCLC according to the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) TNM Eighth Edition;
  • There must be at least one evaluable lesion judged according to RECIST1.1;
  • No sensitive mutation in EGFR and negative ALK rearrangement;
  • ≥18 years old;
  • The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) physical status score was 0-2;
  • Life expectancy of more than 3 months;
  • Bone marrow and organs (liver and kidney) function well, which can meet the conventional conditions for chemotherapy: neutrophil count ≥1.5×109/ L, platelet count ≥75×109/ L, hemoglobin ≥9g/ dL, total bilirubin ≤1.5×ULN, transaminase ≤2.5×ULN, serum creatinine ≤1.5×ULN or creatinine clearance ≥45ml/min. (ULN: upper limit of normal value);
  • For female subjects of reproductive age, urine or serum pregnancy test should be negative within 7 days prior to receiving the first study drug administration (cycle 1, day 1).If a urine pregnancy test is not confirmed negative, a blood pregnancy test is required;For men, consent must be given to use appropriate methods of contraception or surgical sterilization during the trial and for 8 weeks after the last administration of the experimental drug;
  • Signing the informed consent;
  • Good compliance, follow-up, and voluntary compliance with relevant regulations of the study.-

You may not qualify if:

  • Small cell lung cancer;
  • Brain metastases with hemorrhage;
  • Currently participating in interventional clinical research and treatment;
  • Past anti-tumor immunotherapy with other anti-PD-1 /PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies;
  • Have received solid organ or blood system transplantation;
  • An active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment (e.g., use of palliative drugs, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressants) occurred within 2 years prior to initial administration.Alternative therapies (such as thyroxine, insulin, or physiological corticosteroids for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) are not considered systemic;
  • having been diagnosed with immunodeficiency or receiving systemic glucocorticoid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to the first administration of the study;Physiological dose of glucocorticoids (≤10 mg/ day of prednisone or its equivalent) is allowed;
  • A history of non-infectious pneumonia requiring glucocorticoid therapy or current interstitial lung disease within 1 year prior to initial administration;
  • A known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV 1/2 antibody positive);
  • untreated active hepatitis B
