Carfilzomib is a drug that binds to and inhibits the activity of the protein complex that is responsible for degrading other damaged or unneeded proteins. The inhibition of this protein by carfilzomib can then cause tumor growth inhibition and cell death. Sotorasib is a drug that binds to and inhibits the activity of the KRAS G12C mutant. This may inhibit growth in KRAS G12C-expressing tumor cells. Combining carfilzomib and sotorasib may be a safe and effective treatment option for patients with KRAS G12C-mutated advanced or metastatic NSCLC.

Testing Proton Craniospinal Radiation Therapy Versus the Usual Radiation Therapy for Leptomeningeal Metastasis, RADIATE-LM Trial

This phase III trial compares proton craniospinal irradiation (pCSI) to involved-field radiation therapy (IFRT) for the treatment of breast or non-small cell lung cancer that has spread from where it first started to the cerebrospinal fluid filled space that surrounds the brain and spinal cord (leptomeningeal metastasis). Patients with leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) may develop multiple areas of nervous system (neurologic) impairment that can be life-threatening. Radiation therapy (RT) effectively relieves local symptoms due to LM. RT uses high energy radiography (x-rays), particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. IFRT is commonly used to treat symptoms of LM. IFRT is radiation treatment that uses x-rays to treat specific areas of LM and to relieve and/or prevent symptoms. pCSI uses protons that can be directed with more accuracy than x-rays which allows treatment of the entire central nervous system space containing the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), brain, and spinal cord. The pCSI treatment could delay the worsening of LM. Giving pCSI may be better than IFRT in treating LM in patients with breast or non-small cell lung cancer.

Testing Longer Duration Radiation Therapy Versus the Usual Radiation Therapy in Patients With Cancer That Has Spread to the Brain

This phase III trial compares the effectiveness of fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery (FSRS) to usual care stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in treating patients with cancer that has spread from where it first started to the brain. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. FSRS delivers a high dose of radiation to the tumor over 3 treatments. SRS is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position the patient and precisely give a single large dose of radiation to a tumor. FSRS may be more effective compared to SRS in treating patients with cancer that has spread to the brain.

WSD0922-FU is a targeted treatment which blocks the EGFR protein - a strategy that has led to a lot of benefit in patients with many different cancers. WSD0922-FU may also be able to get into cancers in the brain and spinal cord and help patients with brain and spinal cord cancers. Funding Source - FDA OOPD

Photoimmunotherapy With ASP-1929 and Cemiplimab for the Treatment of Refractory, Inoperable, and Metastatic Stage IIIB-IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

This phase II trial tests how well photoimmunotherapy (PIT) with ASP-1929 in combination with cemiplimab works in treating patients with stage IIIB-IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory), that is not suitable for surgery (inoperable), or that has spread from where it first started to other places in the body (metastatic). PIT is a treatment that combines drugs that become active when exposed to light, such as ASP-1929, with immunotherapy to target and kill tumor cells. ASP-1929 combines cetuximab with a light-sensitive component, sarotalocan. Cetuximab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It binds to a protein called epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which is found on some types of tumor cells. This may help keep tumor cells from growing. Sarotalocan is a fluorescent dye, infrared-activated fluorescent dye 700, that is light sensitive, and when activated by a special type of laser light, helps destroy or change tumor cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as cemiplimab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving PIT with ASP-1929 in combination with cemiplimab may kill more tumor cells in patients with refractory, inoperable, or metastatic stage IIIB-IV NSCLC.
