What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests N-803 with standard treatments for patients with severe lung cancer. N-803 aims to boost the immune system to fight cancer cells more effectively.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial does not specify if you must stop taking your current medications. However, you cannot take medications that have an adverse reaction with the study drugs. It's best to discuss your current medications with the trial team.

What safety data exists for N-803 + Standard Care for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer?

Research shows that treatments involving nab-paclitaxel (a form of chemotherapy) combined with carboplatin have been studied for safety in non-small cell lung cancer. These studies generally focus on the safety and side effects of these drugs, which are important to consider when evaluating treatment options.12345

What makes the drug combination of N-803, Carboplatin, Nab-paclitaxel, Pembrolizumab, and Pemetrexed unique for treating non-small cell lung cancer?

This drug combination is unique because it includes N-803, an IL-15 superagonist complex, which is designed to boost the immune system's response against cancer cells, alongside a mix of chemotherapy agents like Carboplatin, Nab-paclitaxel, and Pemetrexed, and the immunotherapy drug Pembrolizumab, which helps the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells. This multi-faceted approach aims to enhance treatment effectiveness by combining immune system activation with traditional chemotherapy.12356

What data supports the effectiveness of the drug combination N-803 + Standard Care for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer?

Research shows that combining pembrolizumab with carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel significantly improved survival rates in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, suggesting that similar combinations could be effective.12357

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for adults with stage 3 or 4 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who haven't had systemic chemotherapy for advanced/metastatic NSCLC. They must have tumors without certain genetic mutations, measurable tumor lesions, and an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. Participants need to provide consent, tissue samples, agree to contraception use if applicable, and not be candidates for surgery or chemoradiation.

Inclusion Criteria

My tumor does not have specific genetic changes in EGFR, ALK, BRAF, ROS1, or NTRK.
Able to understand and provide a signed informed consent that fulfills the relevant IRB or Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) guidelines
The tumor can be measured and evaluated using a specific method called RECIST 1.1.

I have a history of HIV or active hepatitis B or C.
I have or had inflammatory bowel disease like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

  • Carboplatin
  • N-803
  • Nab-paclitaxel
  • Pembrolizumab
  • Pemetrexed

Published Research Related to This Trial

The combination of pemetrexed and nab-paclitaxel was found to be feasible and well tolerated in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with a recommended phase II dose established at pemetrexed 500 mg/m² and nab-paclitaxel 260 mg/m².
In a phase II trial involving 37 patients, the treatment showed a response rate of 14% and a disease control rate of 46%, with a median overall survival of 8.8 months, indicating some efficacy in second and third-line therapy despite the early closure of the study.
Phase I/II trial of pemetrexed plus nab-paclitaxel in advanced solid tumor patients with emphasis on non-small cell lung cancer.Ho, C., Davies, AM., Sangha, RS., et al.[2023]
In a phase III trial involving 1,052 patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer, nab-paclitaxel plus carboplatin showed a significantly higher overall response rate (33%) compared to solvent-based paclitaxel plus carboplatin (25%), indicating greater efficacy in treatment.
Nab-paclitaxel was associated with fewer severe side effects, such as neuropathy and neutropenia, compared to solvent-based paclitaxel, suggesting it may be a safer option for patients.

Nab-paclitaxel significantly improves overall response (OR) and partial response (PR) rates in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), especially in squamous cell carcinoma and as a second-line treatment, based on a meta-analysis of 35 studies involving various trial designs.
While nab-paclitaxel shows marginal improvements in overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), the evidence regarding its safety profile and reduction of adverse events remains inconclusive, indicating a need for further research.
