A Exploratory Study of Nivolumab Monotherapy or in Combination With Nab-paclitaxel and Carboplatin in Early Stage NSCLC in China
Sponsor: Guangdong Association of Clinical Trials
Summary
Nivolumab (BMS-936558) is a fully human, IgG4 (kappa) isotype mAb that binds PD-1 on activated immune cells and disrupts engagement of the receptor with its ligands PD-L1 (B7 H1/CD274) and PD-L2 (B7-DC/CD273), thereby abrogating inhibitory signals and augmenting the host antitumor response. In early clinical trials, nivolumab has demonstrated activity in several tumor types, including melanoma, renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Nivolumab is in clinical development for the treatment of patients with NSCLC, RCC, melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) and other tumors (eg, glioblastoma multiforme, mesothelioma, small cell lung cancer, gastric). Nivolumab is approved in the United States (US), European Union, and other countries for the treatment of patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma, advanced NSCLC with progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy, advanced RCC whose disease progressed on an antiangiogenic therapy, classical Hodgkin lymphoma that has relapsed or progressed after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and post-transplantation brentuximab vedotin treatment, and recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck with disease progression on or after a platinum-based therapy. The proposed study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of preoperative administration of Nivolumab or Nivolumab combined with nab-paclitaxel and carboplatin in neoadjuvant setting and administration of Nivolumab in adjuvant setting in patients with high-risk resectable NSCLC, and will facilitate a comprehensive exploratory characterization of the tumor immune microenvironment and circulating immune cells in these patients. Data obtained in this study will provide valuable information for planning further prospective clinical trials of anti-PD-1 and other immunotherapies in NSCLC, both in the peri-operative and advanced disease setting. Ultimately, it is highly desirable to discover prospective biomarkers of response and toxicity to allow patients with NSCLC who are most likely to derive benefit to receive anti-PD-1 treatment, and conversely to minimize the risk of toxicity and ineffective treatment for patients who are unlikely to benefit.

Conditions
Interventions
Nivolumab
Nivolumab 360 mg IV (administered intravenously for more than 30 minutes) every 3 weeks
carboplatin
AUC 5, d1 every three weeks
nab-paclitaxel
135 mg/m2, d1, 8
Radical resection for lung cancer
Including lobectomy, sleeve lobectomy, bilobectomy, or pneumonectomy. Segmentectomy and wedge resection are not permitted.
Radical radiation therapy
In Part 3, for patients who are assessed by a Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) as unable to achieve R0 resection following neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy induction, the recommended radiotherapy regimen is: 60 Gy in 30 fractions (5 fractions per week) to 95% of the planning target volume (PTV).
Chemotherapy (Cisplatin)
Part 3: For patients who are determined by a Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) to be ineligible for R0 resection following neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy induction and require definitive radiotherapy, concurrent chemotherapy will be administered. The regimen consists of cisplatin 30 mg/m² administered once weekly
Nivolumab
Within 6 weeks after definitive surgery, subjects in each cohort who are assessed to have benefited from neoadjuvant therapy (CR, PR, or SD) and have adequately recovered from surgery may receive adjuvant nivolumab (360 mg via IV infusion over at least 30 minutes, every 3 weeks) for up to 12 months, or until disease recurrence or unacceptable toxicity.
