About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of Durvalumab (MEDI4736) Plus Tremelimumab in Combination With Platinum-based Chemotherapy in Untreated Extensive-Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer and Performance Status 2

This study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of durvalumab and tremelimumab in combination with intravenous (IV) carboplatin plus (+) etoposide in new patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC).

Read the detailed description

This Phase I, multicenter, study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of durvalumab (anti-programmed death-ligand 1 [PD-L1] antibody) and tremelimumab (anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 [CTLA-4] antibody) in combination with intravenous (IV) carboplatin plus (+) etoposide in treatment naïve patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) and performance status 2 (PS2). Eighteen patients with untreated ES-SCLC and PS2 will be enrolled. Cohort 1, which includes the first 6 subjects, will receive IV carboplatin and etoposide Q 3 weeks x 4 cycles. Durvalumab 1500 mg IV Q 3 weeks will be given with chemotherapy during cycles 3 and 4. This will be followed by durvalumab 1500 mg IV Q 4 weeks until disease progression. If 2 out of 6 patients have dose-limiting toxicities, then the study will be closed. Cohort 2, which will include 12 additional subjects, will receive chemotherapy Q 3 weeks x 4 cycles. Durvalumab 1500 mg IV + tremelimumab 75 mg IV Q 3 weeks will be given with chemotherapy during cycles 3 and 4, then durvalumab 1500 mg + tremelimumab 75 mg will be administered Q 3 weeks during cycles 5 and 6. This will be followed by durvalumab 1500 mg IV Q 4 weeks until disease progression.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Treatment-related Adverse Events with a Severity of 3 or higher (Safety and tolerability)

    Evaluate the safety and tolerability profile of durvalumab + tremelimumab in combination with carboplatin and etoposide in ES-SCLC and PS2. Adverse events with a severity grade of 3 or higher per CTCAE guidelines will be used to assess this outcome.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Durvalumab + Tremelimumab in combination with carboplatin and etoposide and Durvalumab in combination with carboplatin and etoposide in people with Small Cell Lung Carcinoma, run by University of Nebraska 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 13 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 28 Aug 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 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.

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 was stopped early (reason given: low accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Incidence of Treatment-related Adverse Events with a Severity of 3 or higher (Safety and tolerability) (time frame: 3 months). 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 28 Aug 2023.
