About this study

Official title: Evaluation of PD-L1 Tumor Expression in Patients With Large-cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma (NEC) (EPNEC-GFPC 03-2017)

Observational, multicentre, retrospective study on patients taken care according to the national guidelines. The objective is to define, after the diagnosis confirmation, the frequency of PD-L1 expression in patients with large-cell lung neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC), whatever the stage of the disease, and to correlate this parameter to clinical data at the time of diagnosis, therapeutic response and survival. Large-cell NECs present a bad prognostic and there is no evidence of treatment for these patients with advanced disease in second ligne of treatment at that time. To demonstrate the PD-L1 expression in this type of cancer might have a major therapeutic impact in a close future to access immunotherapies.

What is being measured

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

  1. Frequency of PD-L1 expression in patients with large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC)

    Determine the frequency of PD-L1 expression in patients with large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC)in terms of percentage of tumor cells expressing PD-L1 in immunohistochemistry (IHC) at the time of diagnosis:

    The frequency of PD-L1 expression determined by IHC will be as follow:

    • Negative PD-L1 tumours (<1% of positive tumour cells)
    • Positive PD-L1 tumours (> or = to 1% of positive tumour cells)
    • Low positive PD-L1 tumours (from 1% to 49% of positive tumour cells expressed)
    • High positive PD-L1 tumours (> or = 50% of positive tumour cells expressed)

    Measured: Retrospective central evaluation on tumour materials (slides) collected on patients diagnosed with NEC between 01 January 2014 and 31 December 2016

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Correlation of PD-L1 expression of tumour cells with clinical data

    Describe the disease at the time of diagnosis using TNM IASLC/UICC 2009 classification

    Measured: Retrospective-data collected on patients diagnosed with NEC between 01 January 2014 and 31 December 2016

  2. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Objective Response Rate (ORR): best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) to a first line of treatment using RECIST 1.1 criteria as assessed locally

    Measured: Retrospective-data collected on patients diagnosed with NEC between 01 January 2014 and 31 December 2016

  3. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    PFS of the first line of treatment using RECIST 1.1 criteria assessed locally defined as the time from first treatment start to disease progression or death for any cause expressed in months

    Measured: Retrospective-data collected on patients diagnosed with NEC between 01 January 2014 and 31 December 2016

  4. Overall survival (OS)

    OS defined as the time from first treatment start to death for any cause expressed in months

    Measured: Retrospective-data collected on patients diagnosed with NEC between 01 January 2014 and 31 December 2016

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Large Cell Lung Cancer and Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of Lung (Diagnosis), run by Groupe Francais De Pneumo-Cancerologie at 28 sites in France.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 12 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 28 sites in France. 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.

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?

Frequency of PD-L1 expression in patients with large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) (time frame: Retrospective central evaluation on tumour materials (slides) collected on patients diagnosed with NEC between 01 January 2014 and 31 December 2016). 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 12 Mar 2020.
