Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study of Combined Ionizing Radiation and Ipilimumab in Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (NCT NCT02221739)

NCT ID: NCT02221739

Last Updated: 2020-05-11

Results Overview

Tumor Response will be evaluated using the irRC best response (Partial Response (PR) + Complete Response (CR)). Modified WHO criteria will be used for measurement of tumors. The irradiated lesion will be excluded from the assessment of response.

Measure
Ipilimumab + Radiotherapy
Patients receive ipilimumab (Ipi) 3mg/kg i.v. over 90 minutes, within 24 hours of starting radiotherapy (RT) to the biopsied lesion, 6 Gy x5, later changed to 9.5 Gy x3 (conformally or by intensity modulated RT (IMRT) with image guidance to maximally spare normal tissue). Ipilimumab is repeated on days 22, 43 (for patients who consent to the first biopsy), and 64. Repeat biopsy is performed between day 22-29, and patients are re-imaged between day 81-88 and evaluated for response (defined as an objective response by irRC of the measurable metastatic sites outside the radiation field).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 weeks - 6 months post-treatment

The study uses a comprehensive approach to analyze immunological changes that reflect both local and systemic responses, and investigate both general immune activation as well as tumor antigen-specific T- and B-cell responses. The activity of anti-CTLA-1 mAb is thought to be mainly dependent on modulating the quantity and quality of T-cells in cancer patients. A highly extensive analysis of the Cluster of differentiation 4 + (CD4+) and cluster of differentiation 8 + (CD8+) T-cell subsets will be characterized by multi-color flow Cytometry. To facilitate these analyses, serial blood samples will be collected for serum and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) at different time points, where, a part of these samples will be used for DNA/RNA extraction. Optional tissue biopsies will be obtained from consenting patients.Tumor tissue will be tested for expression of seven antigens frequently expressed in NSCLC.
