NCT05615142

Brief Summary

This pilot phase I trial aims to investigate the safety and tolerability of low dose radiotherapy (LDRT) and concurrent partial stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in combination with programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors in Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who have failed standard therapy. At least 9 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at West China Hospital, Sichuan University.

Study Arms (1)

LDRT+SBRT Combined with PD-1 Inhibitors

EXPERIMENTAL

Dose escalation cohort. DOSE LEVEL: Low Dose Radiotherapy (LDRT) dose from 2 Gy to 6Gy (2 Gy/f) + partial stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) dose at 10 Gy to 30 Gy (10 Gy/f) + PD-1 inhibitor (dose as recommended in the instruction manual).

Radiation: Low Dose RadiotherapyRadiation: stereotactic body radiation therapyDrug: PD-1 Inhibitors

Interventions

LDRT at dose escalation levels: 2 Gy/1f, 4 Gy/2f, 6 Gy/3f with conventional external beam radiation.

Also known as: LDRT
LDRT+SBRT Combined with PD-1 Inhibitors

Partial SBRT at dose escalation levels: 10 Gy/1f, 20 Gy/2f, 30 Gy/3f.

Also known as: SBRT
LDRT+SBRT Combined with PD-1 Inhibitors

Patients will receive treatment with PD-1 inhibitor (dose as recommended in the instruction manual) every 3 weeks for a maximum of 48 months.

  • Be willing to undergo repeat biopsy of tumor lesions according to the study protocol.
  • Patients who have failed the standard therapy, or who are unsuitable for standard treatment, or refuse chemotherapy.
  • At least one measurable lesion according to RECIST 1.1. A lesion that has previously received radiotherapy can be considered a target lesion only if this lesion is clearly progressed after radiotherapy.

  • ECOG 0-2.
  • Life expectancy of \> 3 months.
  • Patients must have normal organ and bone marrow function as defined below: Total bilirubin \</= 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN). Aminotransferase (AST) Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (SGOT)/ Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) Serum Glutamic-Pyruvic Transaminase (SGPT) \<2.5 X institutional upper limit of normal (\</= 5 X institutional ULN for subjects with liver metastases) \*WBC \>/= 3500/uL, ANC \>/= 1500/uL \*Platelets \>/= 90K/ul \*Hemoglobin \>/= 9g/dL \*Creatinine \</= 1.5 x ULN, or creatinine clearance ≥ 50 ml/min(Cockcroft-Gault equation). Coagulation: International Normalized Ratio (INR)≤ 1.5 × ULN, Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) ≤1.5 × ULN; left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \>/= 50% and QTcF (Fridericia's formula) ≤ 450ms
  • Patients has recovered (i.e., ≤ Grade 1 or at baseline) from adverse events due to a previously administered agent.
  • Wash out period for chemotherapy is more than ≥ 4 weeks, for targeted small molecule therapy ≥ 5 half-lives; palliative radiotherapy must have been completed for at least ≥ 2 weeks, chest radiotherapy must have been completed for at least ≥ 4 weeks, and major surgery must have been completed for ≥ 4 weeks.
  • Subjects with no severe pulmonary ventilation dysfunction, no acute heart failure, and no contraindication to radiotherapy as judged by the radiotherapist. Subjects who agree to receive immunotherapy and radiotherapy treatment.
  • Subjects should agree to use an adequate method of contraception.

You may not qualify if:

  • Has known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis and/or spinal cord compression, etc.
  • With oncologic emergencies that require immediate treatment
  • EGFR/ALK/ROS-1 mutation or mutation status unknown.
  • Has evidence of interstitial lung disease or active and/or non-infectious pneumonitis (drug-induced pneumonia, radiation-induced pneumonia, etc.) requiring steroid therapy.
  • History of pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, severe irreversible airway obstruction disease
  • Patients with peripheral neuropathy.
  • Significant heart disease or impairment of cardiac function
  • Fluid accumulating in the third space, such as pericardial effusion, pleural effusion and peritoneal effusion that remains uncontrolled by aspiration or other treatment
  • Known allergy to drugs or excipients, known severe allergic reaction to any of the PD-1 monoclonal antibodies
  • Severe infection within 4 weeks prior to the start of study treatment, including but not limited to hospitalization for infection, bacteremia, or severe pneumonia; treatment with oral or intravenous antibiotics within 2 weeks prior to the start of study treatment; patients receiving prophylactic antibiotic therapy (e.g., to prevent urinary tract infection or exacerbation of COPD) are eligible for this study.
  • Known or suspected active autoimmune disease (congenital or acquired) such as uveitis, enterocolitis, hepatitis, pituitary inflammation, vasculitis, nephritis, thyroiditis, etc. (patients with vitiligo, or resolved childhood asthma may be enrolled; patients with type I diabetes with good insulin control may also be enrolled)
  • Known allogeneic organ transplantation (except corneal transplantation) or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
