About this study
Official title: Phase I/II Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) Combined With Concurrent and Adjuvant Avelumab for Definitive Management of Early Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
The purpose of the study is to determine whether avelumab has an effect on cancer and body in combination with SBRT, a standard treatment for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Avelumab is considered experimental because it is not approved by the United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of cancer. It is a type of drug called a monoclonal antibody (a type of protein). Monoclonal antibodies are made to recognize, target and bind to specific proteins on the cells that make up your tissues. Avelumab is designed to block the interaction between PD-1, a known immune checkpoint, and PD-L1. By blocking this interaction, the immune system may be stimulated, allowing it to more effectively recognize and attack the cancer.
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) is a type of radiation that uses precise targeting to deliver a high dose of radiation to the tumor over a short period of time. A positioning cushion such as Vac-lok will be used during radiation treatment that is custom made. This custom mold forms to the contours of the subjects body to allow for proper positioning comfort and stability.
Read the detailed description
This is a single arm open label Phase I/II study that will consist of two parts. In Phase I, investigators will assess the safety and tolerability of SBRT combined with Avelumab. In Phase II, investigators will determine whether SBRT combined with Avelumab improves relapse free survival. Subjects with Stage I NSCLC who are not undergoing surgical resection will be candidates for enrollment. Subjects will receive definitive stereotactic body radiation (SBRT) in 4-5 fractions combined with concurrent and adjuvant Avelumab at 10mg/kg for a total of 6 cycles. Subjects will be evaluated for safety as measured by the occurrence of adverse events, serious adverse events, and laboratory abnormalities. Three blood draws will be obtained to analyze anti-tumor immune responses and immune correlates.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing Avelumab and SBRT in people with Early Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Andrew Sharabi at 2 sites 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 4 inclusion and 17 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites 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 9 Aug 2024). 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?
Adverse Events (time frame: 6 months). 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 9 Aug 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
