What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Adverse events (AEs) were coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) Version 20.0 and classified by MedDRA system organ class (SOC) and preferred term. The severity was assessed according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version 4.03. AEs were reported based on clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, physical examinations, and any other medically indicated assessments, including subject interviews, from the time informed consent was signed through 90 days after the last dose of study treatment. TEAEs are AEs that occurred or worsened in severity after administration of the first dose of study treatment.

    For each arm, the first 6 subjects were evaluated for dose limiting toxicities (DLTs).

    Deaths within the AE Reporting Period included all deaths that occurred during the study treatment period, or up to 90 days after the administration of the last dose of study drug or initiation of a new treatment.

    Measured: up to 15 months

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Median PFS by RECIST 1.1 as Estimated Using the Kaplan-Meier Method

    Progression Free Survival (PFS) was measured from the date of the first dose of study treatment to the date of earliest disease progression according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) or to the date of death, if disease progression did not occur. Per RECIST 1.1, progressive disease (PD) is defined as a ≥ 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions or the presence of new lesions.

    Measured: up to 15 months

  2. Number of Subjects Without Progression at 8 and 24 Weeks by RECIST 1.1

    Progression-free Survival (PFS) was measured from the date of the first dose of study treatment to the date of earliest disease progression or to the date of death, if disease progression did not occur. Per RECIST 1.1, progressive disease (PD) is defined as a ≥ 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions or the presence of new lesions.

    Measured: up to 24 weeks

  3. Median PFS by irRECIST as Estimated Using the Kaplan-Meier Method

    Progression-free Survival (PFS) was measured from the date of the first dose of study treatment to the date of earliest disease progression according to immune related Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (irRECIST) or to the date of death, if disease progression did not occur. Per irRECIST, progressive disease (irPD) is defined as a ≥ 20% increase from nadir in the total measurable tumor burden (TMTB).

    Measured: up to 15 months

  4. Number of Subjects Without Progression at 8 and 24 Weeks by irRECIST

    Progression-free Survival (PFS) was measured from the date of the first dose of study treatment to the date of earliest disease progression or to the date of death, if disease progression did not occur. Per irRECIST, progressive disease (irPD) is defined as a ≥ 20% increase from nadir in the total measurable tumor burden (TMTB).

    Measured: up to 24 weeks

  5. Number of Subjects With Best Overall Tumor Response By RECIST 1.1

    Tumor responses were evaluated using appropriate imaging and categorized according to RECIST 1.1 at Screening (up to 28 days before the first dose of study treatment), at cycles 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 during study treatment, and during on-study follow-up every 8 weeks starting 8 weeks after the last disease assessment. Per RECIST 1.1, target lesions are categorized as follows: complete response (CR): disappearance of all target lesions; partial response (PR): ≥ 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; PD: ≥ 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions or the presence of new lesions; stable disease (SD): small changes that do not meet above criteria.

    Measured: up to 15 months

  6. Number of Subjects With Objective Responses at 8 and 24 Weeks By RECIST 1.1

    Tumor responses were evaluated using appropriate imaging and categorized according to RECIST 1.1 at Screening (up to 28 days before the first dose of study treatment), at cycles 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 during study treatment, and during on-study follow-up every 8 weeks starting 8 weeks after the last disease assessment. Per RECIST 1.1, target lesions are categorized as follows: complete response (CR): disappearance of all target lesions; partial response (PR): ≥ 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; PD: ≥ 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions or presence of new lesions; stable disease (SD): small changes that do not meet above criteria. An Objective Response is defined as a CR or PR over a period of at least 4 weeks.

    Measured: up to 24 weeks

  7. Duration of Response (DoR) By RECIST 1.1

    Duration of Response (DoR) was defined as the interval between the date of earliest determination of CR or PR to the date of earliest determination of progressive disease (PD), clinical progression or death, whatever occurred first.

    Measured: up to 15 months

  8. Number of Subjects With Best Overall Tumor Response By irRECIST

    Tumor responses were evaluated using appropriate imaging and categorized according to irRECIST at Screening (up to 28 days before the first dose of study treatment), at cycles 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 during study treatment, and during on-study follow-up every 8 weeks starting 8 weeks after the last disease assessment. Per irRECIST, responses are categorized as follows: Complete Response (irCR): Complete disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (irPR): ≥ 30% decrease from baseline in the total measurable tumor burden (TMTB); Progressive Disease (irPD): ≥ 20% increase from nadir in TMTB; Stable Disease (irSD): not meeting above criteria.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Durvalumab, Tremelimumab and BI 1361849 in people with Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and NSCLC, run by Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research at 5 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 7 inclusion and 15 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 10 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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 27 Sep 2022). 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?

Number of Subjects With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) (time frame: up to 15 months). 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 NCT03164772, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 10 Oct 2022.
