DISCERN: Dual Versus Single ICB in PDL-1 Negative NSCLC

Sponsor: University of Alabama at Birmingham

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The purpose of this study, known as DISCERN, is to compare two different treatments for a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that does not show a marker known as PD-L1. This study will help us understand if using two types of immune therapy together with chemotherapy is better than using one type of immune therapy with chemotherapy. We're doing this by looking at changes in the subject's cancer's DNA in the blood after starting treatment.

Interventions

DRUG

Pembrolizumab

The dosing regimens for Pembrolizumab (200 mg Q3W), are based on established FDA-approved dosages for the treatment of NSCLC, ensuring a balance between efficacy and tolerability. These doses are selected based on extensive clinical experience indicating optimal response rates with manageable safety profiles in the target population. The route of administration (intravenous) is chosen for its direct delivery into the bloodstream, ensuring maximum bioavailability and consistency of dosing.

DRUG

Carboplatin

The combination therapy dosages for Carboplatin are aligned with standard chemotherapy protocols for NSCLC, tailored to minimize toxicity while maintaining therapeutic efficacy. This dosing strategy is justified by previous phase 3 trials demonstrating the effectiveness and safety of these regimens in advanced NSCLC patients.

DRUG

Paclitaxel

The combination therapy dosages for Paclitaxel are aligned with standard chemotherapy protocols for NSCLC, tailored to minimize toxicity while maintaining therapeutic efficacy. This dosing strategy is justified by previous phase 3 trials demonstrating the effectiveness and safety of these regimens in advanced NSCLC patients.

DRUG

Pemetrexed

The combination therapy dosages for Pemetrexed are aligned with standard chemotherapy protocols for NSCLC, tailored to minimize toxicity while maintaining therapeutic efficacy. This dosing strategy is justified by previous phase 3 trials demonstrating the effectiveness and safety of these regimens in advanced NSCLC patients.

DRUG

Nivolumab

The dosing regimens for Nivolumab (360 mg Q3W) are based on established FDA-approved dosages for the treatment of NSCLC, ensuring a balance between efficacy and tolerability. These doses are selected based on extensive clinical experience indicating optimal response rates with manageable safety profiles in the target population. The route of administration (intravenous) is chosen for its direct delivery into the bloodstream, ensuring maximum bioavailability and consistency of dosing.

DRUG

Ipilimumab

The dosing regimens for Ipilimumab (1 mg/kg Q6W) are based on established FDA-approved dosages for the treatment of NSCLC, ensuring a balance between efficacy and tolerability. These doses are selected based on extensive clinical experience indicating optimal response rates with manageable safety profiles in the target population. The route of administration (intravenous) is chosen for its direct delivery into the bloodstream, ensuring maximum bioavailability and consistency of dosing.
