COSINR Trial Summary

This trial is designed to study whether nivolumab/ipilimumab plus either sequential or concurrent stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is safe for patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have good organ function and performance status. They must not be pregnant, agree to use birth control, and can't have had certain prior treatments like chemotherapy or immunotherapy for NSCLC. Patients with specific genetic mutations in their tumors must have tried targeted therapies first.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety of combining nivolumab/ipilimumab immunotherapy with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), either sequentially or at the same time. It aims to find a safe radiation dose and assess how these treatments affect the immune system within tumors across different locations in the body.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include severe reactions related to SBRT and immunotherapy such as inflammation of organs, skin issues, hormonal imbalances, fatigue, digestive problems, potential worsening of autoimmune diseases, and increased risk of infections.

COSINR Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Sequential ArmExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients will be randomized to either the Sequential Arm or the Concurrent Arm. Patients in the Sequential Arm will complete SBRT to 2-4 sites and then begin treatment with nivolumab/ipilimumab between 1-7 days after completion of SBRT.
Group II: Concurrent ArmExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients will be randomized to either the Sequential Arm or the Concurrent Arm. Patients in the Concurrent Arm will begin treatment with nivolumab/ipilimumab first and must complete planned SBRT to 2-4 sites within 2 weeks (prior to second dose of nivolumab).

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

How many individuals have been accepted into the scope of this research project?

"Affirmative. As per the clinicaltrials.gov data, this medical trial is currently enrolling patients. The study was first listed on September 7th 2017 and was updated most recently on February 8th 2022, with 80 participants sought from a single location."

Answered by AI

How reliable is Stereotactic body radiation therapy in terms of mitigating risks to patients?

"There has been little research on the safety of Stereotactic body radiation therapy, thus we assign it a score of 1."

Answered by AI

What other investigations have been led examining the efficacy of Stereotactic body radiation therapy?

"Currently, there are 764 experiments dedicated to exploring Stereotactic body radiation therapy; 86 of these trials have reached the advanced Phase 3 stage. While Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is a major hub for research into this treatment option, 42751 other medical sites around the globe are conducting tests related to it."

Answered by AI

Is this clinical study accepting new participants?

"Affirmative. The clinical trial's information hosted on clinicaltrials.gov verifies that the study is still searching for patients, with a commencement date of September 7th 2017 and an update posted on February 8th 2022. 80 participants are needed from 1 site."

Answered by AI

What disease states are generally addressed by Stereotactic body radiation therapy?

"Stereotactic body radiation therapy is often used to supplement anti-angiogenic treatment, but can also be beneficial in treating issues such as maligant neoplasms, extensively spread melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma."
