Summary

This is a single arm, multi-centre, phase II open label study of nivolumab with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for early stage non-small cell lung cancer.

SBRT will be delivered in either 3 or 5 fractions for peripheral disease or 8 fractions in central disease. A flat dose of 240 mg nivolumab infusion will begin after the final fraction of SBRT, within 24 hours and typically on the same day. Nivolumab will subsequently be given every 2 weeks at a flat dose of 240 mg for a further 13 cycles followed by Nivolumab 480mg Q4W for 7 cycles until 20 cycles in total are complete, unless any study drug discontinuation criteria are met. Treatment (20 cycles) will take a minimum of 1 year to complete but may exceed this timeframe if treatment delays are encountered.

(Patients who have enrolled on Nivolumab Q2W 240mg regimen for 26 cycles and are beyond cycle 14 will receive 26 cycles Q2W in total to complete treatment).

Assessment of toxicities will be performed at each clinic visit during treatment, at 30 days after the final nivolumab infusion and until 100 days after the final nivolumab infusion. Changes in spirometry values and PFTs will be assessed throughout the trial.

Relapse rates will be assessed with staging CT scans at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months post SBRT.

An exploratory assessment will be made of the effect pre-treatment pulmonary function tests (PFTs) have on outcome measures.

Conditions

  • Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Stage II
  • Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Stage I

Interventions

RADIATION

Stereotactic body radiotherapy

Patients will receive a total of 54 Gy if delivered in 3 fractions, 55 Gy if delivered in 5 fractions or 60 Gy if delivered in 8 fractions.

DRUG

Nivolumab

Nivolumab is a human immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) monoclonal antibody, that binds to the PD-1 receptor and blocks interaction with its ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2. Nivolumab will be administered intravenously at a flat dose of 240 mg q2w over 30 minutes for 13 cycles followed by 480mg q4w over 60 minutes for 7 cycles, until 20 cycles in total to complete (a minimum of 1 year of treatment if no delays are encountered).
