About this study

Official title: A Platform Study of DNA Damage Response Inhibitors in Combination With Conventional Radiotherapy in Non Small Cell Lung Cancer

CONCORDE is a multi-institution, multi-arm, Phase IB study that will determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) and safety profiles of different DNA damage repair inhibitors (DDRis) when given in an open label fashion in combination with fixed dose curative intent radiotherapy (RT) in patients with stage IIB/IIIA/IIIB NSCLC, followed by up to 12 months of consolidation durvalumab immunotherapy in selected study arms. The RP2D will be evaluated by incorporating the number of observed dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) into a time to event continuous reassessment method (TiTE- CRM) model within each of the experimental arms. TiTE-CRM is used here to take into account longer-term toxicities up to 13.5 months post start of radiotherapy and use these to inform dose escalation decision making.

Read the detailed description

Radiotherapy is an effective treatment for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has not spread beyond the chest area. Radiotherapy is used as a curative treatment but unfortunately for most patients the cancer can return. Radiotherapy kills cells by damaging their DNA. Cells have the ability to repair that damage, especially the cells of normal tissue. If DNA repair can be prevented radiotherapy should be more effective causing the cancer cells to die.

The study will use new drugs that affect how cells repair DNA damage, called DNA damage response inhibitors (DDRi). These will be given together with radiotherapy to hopefully improve the effectiveness of radiotherapy, followed by up to 12 months of durvalumab immunotherapy in selected study arms to develop the trial in line with the standard of care for NSCLC. The study will try to find out the most effective and safe dose of this combination treatment. This will be a clinical trial where patients due to have radiotherapy, with the hope of successful treatment that could lead to cure from their cancer or extension of life, will be offered entry onto the study. All patients will receive their radiotherapy, with 3 out of every 4 people also receiving a single DDRi drug alongside this. Both patients and study doctors will know prior to the start of the actual treatment whether a DDRi will be given, and if so which one; no placebos will be used. The patients will be followed closely to check for side effects and to assess how their cancer is responding to treatment. Blood samples will be taken to monitor treatment progress and to try to predict which patients are most likely to benefit from this type of combined treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Dose limiting Toxicities

    Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), within 13.5 months of starting radiotherapy, in order to establish the Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) of each DDRi-RT combination.

    Measured: 13.5 months after start of radiotherapy

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Safety and toxicity

    Safety will be reported based on the occurrence of SAEs, SARs and SUSARs. Toxicity will be reported based on adverse events, as graded by CTCAE V5.0, and determined by routine clinical assessments at each centre.

    Measured: 2 years after end of RT

  2. Treatment compliance

    Treatment compliance will be measured by overall radiotherapy treatment time and delays, omissions and reductions to treatment doses (both DDRi and RT).

    Measured: End of trial treatment (DDRi and RT)

  3. Best overall response

    Best overall response will be measured as the best response (complete response, partial response or stable disease) recorded until disease progression, reported up to 2 years post-RT. This will be assessed using RECIST 1.1

    Measured: 2 years after end of RT

  4. Disease control

    This will be assessed using the Green Criteria. Disease Control includes either the complete disappearance of all evidence of malignant disease or residual radiographic abnormalities assessed by chest CT scan at 3 and 6 months after completion of RT, which then remains stable for an additional 6 months or more and which then qualifies as controlled local disease.

    Measured: 2 years after end of RT

  5. Progression-free survival

    Participants who have not progressed at the time of analysis will be censored at the last date they were known to be alive and progression free

    Measured: 2 years post-RT

  6. Overall survival

    Participants who have not died at the time of analysis will be censored at the last date they were known to be alive

    Measured: 2 years post-RT

  7. Changes in Health Related Quality of Life

    Health Related Quality of Life will be determined using EORTC QLQ-C30, IL-73 and IL-74

    Measured: 2 years after end of RT

  8. Objective response rate

    Objective response rate (ORR) is defined as the proportion of patients who have a partial or complete response to therapy. The proportion of patients with evaluable scans that achieve at least a partial response, as defined by RECIST v1.1(31), will be presented with 95% confidence intervals.

    Measured: 2 years after end of RT

  9. Changes in tumour size during and following treatment with DDRi-RT compared to RT alone.

    Measured: 2 years after end of RT

Model description
The trial is designed as a randomised Phase I dose escalation platform study, using the TiTE CRM design to find the RP2D of each DDRi with RT combination. At the time of patient identification the treating centre will be informed of the allocated study arm following a pre-specified prioritisation schedule. Consenting participants will be randomised between DDRi with RT or RT only. Patients are not randomised between experimental arms nor will endpoints be compared between experimental arms. RT only participants will be pooled across the platform to provide contemporary data on toxicity.

A Phase 1 study testing Radiotherapy, Olaparib Oral Tablet [Lynparza] and AZD1390 in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by University of Leeds at 14 sites in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in United Kingdom. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Jamie B Oughton, MPhil (0113 343 1494, CTRU_CONCORDE@Leeds.ac.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Dose limiting Toxicities (time frame: 13.5 months after start of radiotherapy). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04550104, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 19 Dec 2025.
