What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests new treatments for individuals with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread and continues to grow despite previous treatment. It evaluates the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of different drug combinations. Participants will receive various combinations of medications, including durvalumab (an immunotherapy drug), tailored to their specific cancer traits. This trial may suit those whose lung cancer has worsened after certain prior therapies and who have a measurable tumor. As a Phase 2 trial, it measures the treatment's effectiveness in an initial, smaller group, providing early access to potentially effective therapies.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial requires that you stop any current chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biologic, or hormonal therapy for cancer treatment. However, you can continue treatment with bisphosphonates or RANKL inhibitors for bone metastases.

Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?

A previous study found durvalumab to be safe and tolerable for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Used alone, it led to lasting positive responses with manageable side effects. Research has shown that olaparib can extend the time patients live without their disease worsening, with generally manageable side effects.

Research on combining danvatirsen with durvalumab showed it was well tolerated, with no new safety issues. Ceralasertib, when used with durvalumab, has shown promising safety results, and some studies suggest it enhances treatment effectiveness in NSCLC.

Cediranib, a drug that blocks certain enzymes to stop cancer growth, has been well tolerated when combined with other treatments in NSCLC, showing promising results. Oleclumab, when combined with durvalumab, showed limited overall activity but was generally well tolerated in early studies.

Trastuzumab deruxtecan, used for HER2-mutant NSCLC, has been associated with common side effects like a decrease in white blood cell count, but it has shown lasting anticancer effects. Lastly, vistusertib, a drug that blocks certain proteins to prevent cancer growth, has been studied for lung cancer and showed a promising safety profile when used with other treatments.

This trial is in Phase 2, focusing on how well the treatment works while monitoring safety. This phase indicates that earlier safety tests were positive enough to proceed with further testing. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?

Researchers are excited about these treatments for non-small cell lung cancer because they target specific genetic mutations and molecular pathways, offering a more personalized approach than traditional chemotherapy. For example, durvalumab, an immunotherapy drug, is combined with various agents like olaparib, which blocks a DNA repair enzyme called PARP, and trastuzumab deruxtecan, which targets HER2 mutations. Additionally, oleclumab targets CD73 to enhance immune response, and ceralasertib, an ATR inhibitor, disrupts cancer cell repair mechanisms. These targeted therapies aim to improve outcomes for patients with specific genetic profiles, making them a promising alternative to the standard treatment options.

What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for non-small cell lung cancer?

This trial studies various treatment combinations for their potential to aid patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have not responded to previous therapies. Participants in different trial arms will receive specific combinations of investigational treatments.

One arm tests the combination of durvalumab with olaparib, which has shown promise in reducing the risk of disease progression or death in certain cancers. Another arm evaluates durvalumab with danvatirsen, as research suggests this combination may double response rates compared to durvalumab alone. The combination of durvalumab and ceralasertib is also under examination, as it may enhance effectiveness in NSCLC.

Additionally, the trial includes an arm studying trastuzumab deruxtecan with durvalumab, which has demonstrated antitumor activity in HER2-altered NSCLC. Durvalumab with vistusertib is another combination under investigation, having shown positive outcomes in advanced NSCLC. Lastly, the combination of durvalumab and oleclumab is being evaluated for its potential to improve clinical outcomes in some lung cancers. ^{6 7 8 9 10}

Published Research Related to This Trial

Only a few traditional chemotherapeutic agents have shown single-agent response rates greater than 15% in treating non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), indicating limited effectiveness with standard treatments.

Recent phase I/II trials have identified new drugs, such as navelbine, CTP-11, topotecan, and taxol, that have achieved single-agent response rates above 20%, suggesting improved treatment options for NSCLC patients.

NCBI (Pubmed)

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

New directions for chemotherapy in non-small-cell lung cancer. Green, MR.[2019]

Current standard treatment for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer involves doublet chemotherapy, which has shown 1-year survival rates of approximately 35% and 2-year survival rates of about 15%.

Preliminary studies indicate that triplet therapy may enhance survival rates compared to double therapy, with toxicity rates being low enough to support the development of these three-drug combinations.

Triplet combination chemotherapy and targeted therapy regimens. Bunn, PA.[2005]

Over the past two decades, the addition of cisplatin-based regimens has led to modest improvements in chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer, with several new agents like navelbine and taxanes showing significant activity in Phase II and III testing.

Future treatments may involve combining these new drugs with targeted therapies that specifically attack unique characteristics of non-small cell lung cancer cells, potentially enhancing efficacy.
