  • Known hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or excipients.
  • Evidence of any other concomitant pathologies, physical examination or laboratory findings (including but not limited to active peptic ulcer disease or gastritis, active bleeding diatheses or psychiatric illness) or social situation that may interfere with the planned treatment, affect patient compliance or place the patient at high risk from treatment related complications.
  • Radiotherapy treatment to the chest or to more than 30% of the bone marrow or with a wide field of radiation within 4 weeks of the first dose of study treatment (patients who have had radiotherapy ≥ 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment, but who are still experiencing acute toxic effects of radiotherapy are also excluded).
  • Major surgical procedure within 28 days prior to the first dose of study drugs.
  • Male patients of reproductive potential who are not willing to employ effective birth control from screening to 180 days after the last dose of study treatment.

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase 2 Study Comparing Immunotherapy With Chemotherapy in the Treatment of Elderly Patients With Advanced NSCLC (MILES-5)

This is a randomized phase 2 trial aiming to assess the early efficacy of two experimental treatment sequences.

Three arms are planned; (i) standard chemotherapy followed at progression by single agent immunotherapy with durvalumab (CT), (ii) experimental single agent immunotherapy with durvalumab followed at progression by chemotherapy, (iii) experimental combination immunotherapy with durvalumab+tremelimumab followed at progression by chemotherapy.

The the two experimental strategies will be compared with the standard strategy in terms of 12-month overall survival, time considered informative for the type of treatment and disease

    12-month overall survival is defined as the Kaplan-Meier (K-M) survival probability at 12 months after randomization (Chen 2015).

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Chemotherapy, Durvalumab and Tremelimumab in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by National Cancer Institute, Naples at 1 site in Italy.

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 16 inclusion and 32 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 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 Italy. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Maria Carmela Piccirillo, MD (+390815903615, m.piccirillo@istitutotumori.na.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

12-month overall survival (time frame: 12 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 24 Mar 2023.
