Study Arms (1)
Patient with Pulmonary Large-cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma
EXPERIMENTALAll enrolled patients will receive intravenous infusion of durvalumab 1500 mg on day 1 (induction phase) with carboplatin (AUC 5 on day 1), etoposide (100 mg/sqm on days 1-3) every 3 weeks, and durvalumab (1500 mg on day 1) administered every three weeks for up to 4 cycles (induction phase) or until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, patient refusal or loss of clinical benefit (for durvalumab). Treatment with intravenous durvalumab (1500 mg on day 1) every 4 weeks ± 3 days (maintenance phase) will continue until completion of 24 courses (for a total of 28 courses, including the 4 courses of induction phase) or 2 years of treatment whichever occurs first, disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, patient refusal or loss of clinical benefit.
Interventions
Intravenous infusion of durvalumab 1500 mg on day 1 (induction phase) with carboplatin (AUC 5 on day 1), etoposide (100 mg/sqm on days 1-3) every 3 weeks, and durvalumab (1500 mg on day 1) administered every three weeks for up to 4 cycles (induction phase) or until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, patient refusal or loss of clinical benefit (for durvalumab). Treatment with intravenous durvalumab (1500 mg on day 1) every 4 weeks ± 3 days (maintenance phase) will continue until completion of 24 courses (for a total of 28 courses, including the 4 courses of induction phase) or 2 years of treatment whichever occurs first, disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, patient refusal or loss of clinical benefit.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Capable of giving signed informed consent which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol.
- Written informed consent and any locally required authorization obtained from the patient/legal representative prior to performing any protocol-related procedures, including screening evaluations.
- Age ≥18 years at the time of study entry
- Histologically or cytologically (cell blocks only; smears are not acceptable) documented pulmonary large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC)
- Stage IV disease or unresectable stage IIIB, which cannot be safely encompassed in a single RT field (e.g. supraclavicular N3, T4 by infiltration of vertebral body), according to the AJCC 8th edition Cancer Staging Manual
- Body weight \>30 kg
You may not qualify if:
- No need for concomitant chest irradiation
- ECOG performance status 0-1
- Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks
- At least one lesion measurable according to RECIST v 1.1 outside of the CNS, not previously irradiated, that can be accurately measured at baseline as ≥ 10 mm in the longest diameter (except lymph nodes which must have short axis ≥ 15 mm) with computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and which is suitable for accurate repeated measurements
- Adequate hematologic function, as evidenced by an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1500/µL, hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL (5.58 mmol/L), and platelets ≥100,000/µL.
- Adequate hepatic and renal functions:
- Total bilirubin \< 1.5 times the upper limits of normal \[ULN\]
- AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) ≤2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal unless liver metastases are present, in which case it must be ≤5x ULN
- Serum creatinine ≤1.5 times the ULN or creatinine clearance, calculated according to the formula of Cockcroft and Gault \> 60 ml/min
- The patient has adequate coagulation function as defined by International Normalized Ratio (INR) ≤1.5 and a partial thromboplastin time (PTT) (PTT/aPTT) \< 1.5 x ULN.). Patients on full-dose anticoagulation must be on a stable dose (minimum duration 14 days) of oral anticoagulant or low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). If receiving warfarin, the patient must have an INR ≤3.0.
- Female patients must have a negative pregnancy test and not be breast-feeding prior to start of dosing if of child-bearing potential or must have evidence of non-child-bearing potential by fulfilling one of the following criteria at screening:
- Post-menopausal defined as aged more than 50 years and amenorrhoeic for at least 12 months following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments
- Women under 50 years old would be considered postmenopausal if they have been amenorrhoeic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments and with LH and FSH levels in the post-menopausal range for the institution
- Documentation of irreversible surgical sterilization by hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral salpingectomy but not tubal ligation
- For female patients of childbearing potential, agreement (by patient and/or partner) to use a highly effective form of contraception that results in a low failure rate (\< 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly, and to continue its use for 6 months after the last dose of chemotherapy or 90 days after the last dose of durvalumab, whichever occurs last. Such methods include: combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception, progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation together with another additional barrier method always containing a spermicide, intrauterine device (IUD), intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS), bilateral tubal occlusion, and vasectomized partner (on the understanding that this is the only one partner during the whole study duration).
