About this study

Official title: Intensified Chemo-immuno-radiotherapy With Durvalumab (MEDI4736) for Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancers (NSCLCs): a Brazilian Single Arm Phase II Study (PACIFIC BRAZIL)

This is a phase II study that will assess if Durvalumab (MEDI4736) used as induction chemo-immunotherapy followed by concurrent chemo-immuno-radiotherapy and consolidation immunotherapy may improve oncologic outcomes compared with standard of care chemoradiation followed by durvalumab (as in the PACIFIC trial) with a reasonable safety profile.

Read the detailed description

Prospective, non-randomized, open label, single arm, multi-institutional, phase 2 study, including patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer able to receive concurrent chemoradiation. Eligible patients will then receive treatment as follows:

Induction chemo-immunotherapy Two 21-day cycles of carboplatin, paclitaxel and durvalumab will be given BEFORE concurrent chemo-immuno-radiotherapy.

Thereafter, patients without progressive disease (or patients with disease progression that is still locally advanced and can be safely encompassed within tolerable radiation fields) will receive concurrent chemo-immuno-radiotherapy, as follows:

Concurrent chemo-immuno-radiotherapy Concurrent carboplatin, paclitaxel, and durvalumab with radiation therapy, initiated preferably 3-5 weeks after the last dose of induction chemo-immunotherapy.

Thereafter, patients without progressive disease will receive consolidation immunotherapy, as follows:

Consolidation immunotherapy Twelve 28-day cycles of durvalumab will be given, initiated preferably within one week following concurrent chemo-immuno-radiotherapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. 12 months Progression-Free Survival

    Proportion of patients who are alive and progression-free 12 months after cycle 1, day 1 of induction treatment, estimated by the Kaplan-Maier method and using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1.

    Measured: Tumor scans will be performed at baseline, after the induction and concomitant phases and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after the last dose of radiation therapy.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time from cycle 1, day 1 of induction treatment until death due to any cause.

    Measured: OS will be evaluated until month 24 after C1D1.

  2. Overall response rate to induction treatment

    The proportion of patients with at least one tumor scan of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) using RECIST v1.1.

    Measured: Tumor scans will be performed at baseline, after the induction and concomitant phases and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after the last dose of radiation therapy.

  3. Patterns of Failure

    Rate of disease failure in local, regional and distant sites

    Measured: Tumor scans will be performed at baseline, after the induction and concomitant phases and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after the last dose of radiation therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Durvalumab in people with Lung Neoplasms, run by Latin American Cooperative Oncology Group at 6 sites in Brazil.

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 8 inclusion and 17 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 11 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Brazil. 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?

12 months Progression-Free Survival (time frame: Tumor scans will be performed at baseline, after the induction and concomitant phases and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after the last dose of radiation therapy.). 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 11 Feb 2025.
