About this study

Official title: A Prospective Trail of Immunotherapy and Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) for the Treatment of Metastatic Lung Cancer: SBRT Sensitization of the Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) Effect

The purpose of this study is to determine efficacy, safety of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) in combination with immunotherapy in participants with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are eligible for an immunotherapy agent.

Read the detailed description

Blockade of the PD-1/PD-L1 T-cell checkpoint pathway is an effective and well tolerated approach to stimulating the immune response which is a critical option in the treatment of metastatic NSCLC. However, progression free survival (PFS) is increased by only 2-4 months and median overall survival (OS) by 3-9 months.

There is compelling evidence that PFS is increased up to 3 fold and OS by 2 fold in patients receiving a course of radiation therapy while on immunotherapy. Radiotherapy is known to induce immunogenic tumor cell death and upregulation of dendritic cells and antigen presentation leading to activation of cytotoxic T-Cells. Dramatic T-cell activation has been demonstrated where tumor regression occurs outside the radiation treatment field in a phenomenon termed the abscopal effect and is associated with high dose radiation delivered via SBRT.

As such, SBRT activation of T-cells could be complementary to immunotherapy and enhance T-cell mediated killing via PD-L1 blockade which could lead to lasting and durable tumor response with improved progression free survival and overall survival.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Stereotactic Body RadiotherapyRadiation

    Also called SBRT, SRS, SABR, CyberKnife

    All patients in this trial will be treated with fractionated Stereotactic body radiation therapy.

    SBRT will be delivered to <=3 sites in 3-5 fractions followed by administration of the specified immunotherapy agent (Nivolumab or Pembrolizumab). This approach will take advantage of the transient increase in antigen availability, increased antigen presentation and upregulation of PD-1 by tumor cells following ablative radiation therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Survival

    Determine overall survival in patients receiving SBRT and immunotherapy as compared to landmark trials of patients receiving immunotherapy alone (Checkmate 057, Keynote 024)

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Acute Toxicity: Radiation pnuemonitis measured using NCI CTCAE version 4.0

    Determine excess/unexpected toxicity that cannot be attributed to routine radiation therapy or immunotherapy side effects.

    Measured: 0-15 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Progression Free Survival

    1. To determine the progression free survival measured from time of enrollment to first evidence of progressive disease and evaluated 3 months after treatment initiation

    Measured: 3-24 Months

  2. Local Control

    To determine the local control measured from time of enrollment to first evidence of progressive disease at the treatment site

    Measured: 0-24 Months

  3. Late Toxicity: Pulmonary, Bone or Visceral organ toxicity evaluated 6 months from completion of treatment using NCI CTCAE version 4.

    the incidence of grade ≥ 3 , pneumonitis 6 months after completing SBRT the incidence of any grade pulmonary fibrosis 6 months after completing SBRT the incidence of grade ≥ 3 , bone fracture 6 months after completing SBRT the incidence of grade ≥ 3 visceral organ toxicity at or near a treated site (e.g colitis, nephritis, hepatitis) 6 months after completing SBRT

    Measured: 6-24 Months

  4. Impact of Tumor Burden

    To determine the influence of number of metastatic sites on OS, and PFS. Patients will be stratified based on number of metastatic sites <=3, 4-5, >5

    Measured: 24 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy in people with Metastatic Nonsmall Cell Lung Cancer and Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Crozer-Keystone Health System 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 11 inclusion and 10 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 6 Mar 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 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?

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?

Overall Survival (time frame: 24 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 6 Mar 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
