About this study

Official title: Consolidative Ipilimumab and Nivolumab With Thoracic Radiotherapy After Platinum Based Chemotherapy for Patients With Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

The purpose of the safety run in Phase I portion of this study is to confirm the recommended Phase II dose of ipilimumab and nivolumab among participants treated with combined thoracic radiation therapy (30 Gy in 10 fractions) and nivolumab/ipilimumab following standard treatment with 4-6 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy.

The purpose of the Phase II portion of this study is to estimate the 6-month Progression Free Survival (PFS) rate among participants treated with ipilimumab and nivolumab with thoracic radiation therapy (30 Gy in 10 fractions) after standard treatment with 4 to 6 cycles of platinum based chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

This study is a nonrandomized, phase II, single arm, multicenter trial evaluating safety and efficacy of thoracic radiation therapy followed by nivolumab and ipilimumab in participants with Extensive-Stage Disease Small Cell Lung Cancer (ED-SCLC) who have completed a first-line platinum-based chemotherapy regimen and achieved ongoing complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD). This study will determine whether nivolumab and ipilimumab delivered 2 weeks following consolidative thoracic radiation therapy demonstrates acceptable toxicity and whether the treatment regimen will improve 6-month progression-free survival (PFS) compared with a similar historical control cohort in this participant population. Additional objectives include further characterization of overall survival, adverse event profile, patterns of failure analysis, and potential predictive biomarkers of response to nivolumab in combination with ipilimumab and thoracic radiation therapy in patients with ED-SCLC.

What is being measured

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

  1. Phase I: Confirmation of Recommended Phase II Dose

    Recommended Phase II dose of ipilimumab and nivolumab among participants treated with combined thoracic radiation therapy (30 Gy in 10 fractions) and nivolumab/ipilimumab following standard treatment with 4-6 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy. Investigators will initially enroll 6 patients and wait until completion of the 13-week safety observation period following initiation of ipilimumab + nivolumab combination treatment.

    Measured: 13 weeks

  2. Phase II: Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the duration from date of registration to date of first documentation of progression assessed by local investigator or symptomatic deterioration (as defined above) or death due to any cause.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS is defined as the duration from date of registration to date of death due to any cause. Participants last known to be alive are censored at date of last contact.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Thoracic Radiation Therapy, Ipilimumab and Nivolumab in people with Small Cell Lung Cancer and Extensive-stage Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research 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 15 inclusion and 21 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 20 Dec 2024. 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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Oct 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Phase I: Confirmation of Recommended Phase II Dose (time frame: 13 weeks). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03043599, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 Dec 2024.
