About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Open-Label Study of Nimotuzumab in Combination With Nivolumab in Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

This phase I/II trial studies the best dose and side effects of nimotuzumab when giving together with nivolumab and to see how well they work in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment. Monoclonal antibodies, such as nimotuzumab and nivolumab, may block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) and estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of nimotuzumab combined with nivolumab in the therapy of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in order to establish the recommended phase II dose (RP2D). (Phase I)

II. To evaluate the 12 month overall survival of nimotuzumab in combination with nivolumab in patients with advanced NSCLC. (Phase II)

II. Examine the relationship of infiltrating CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and other immune and genetic markers, and their associated PD-1, CD45RA or CD45RO levels; PD-L1 expression within both neoplastic and non-neoplastic stromal elements of the tumor microenvironment to PFS, OS, ORR and AE. (Phase I)

III. Comparison of response assessment criteria for a prospective analysis; irRECIST response assessment; irRC. (Phase I)

IV. Examine the relationship of EGFR expression in tissue to PFS, OS, ORR and AE. (Phase II)

  1. Examine the relationship of infiltrating CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and other immune and genetic markers, and their associated PD-1, CD45RA or CD45RO levels. (Phase II)

VI. Examine the relationship of PD-L1 expression within both neoplastic and non-neoplastic stromal elements of the tumor microenvironment to PFS, OS, ORR and AE. (Phase II)

VII. Comparison of response assessment criteria for a prospective analysis; irRECIST response assessment; irRC. (Phase II)

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of nimotuzumab followed by a phase II study.

Patients receive nivolumab intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes and nimotuzumab IV over 60 minutes on days 1 and 15. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and then every 12 weeks.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. DLT as graded by NCI CTCAE version 4.0 (Phase I)

    No formal analyses of DLTs are planned. Participants who do not have a DLT and who do not complete a full cycle of treatment will be considered non-evaluable for DLT.

    Measured: Up to 28 days

  2. ORR defined as complete response (CR) + partial response (PR) divided by number of patients as assessed by RECIST version 1.1 (Phase II)

    Will be calculated as the number of patients with a confirmed complete or partial response divided by the total number of patients. The 95% confidence interval for ORR (CR + PR) will be presented based on the Wilson Score method as irRC response.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of adverse events assessed by NCI CTCAE version 4.0 (Phase I and II)

    The frequency of AEs will be tabulated by grade across all dose levels and cycles. All patients who receive any study treatment will be considered evaluable for toxicity.

    Measured: Up to 30 days after the last dose of study treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Laboratory Biomarker Analysis, Nimotuzumab and Nivolumab in people with EGFR Gene Mutation and Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 17 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

DLT as graded by NCI CTCAE version 4.0 (Phase I) (time frame: Up to 28 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Oct 2023.
