Phase I/II Study of Nivolumab and Ipilimumab Combined With Nintedanib in Non Small Cell Lung Cancer

Running, not enrolling · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, Lung Cancer, Nonsmall Cell, Non Small Cell Lung Cancer Metastatic

In brief

The main purpose of this study is to see if the combination of nivolumab, ipilimumab and nintedanib is effective in people with non- small cell lung cancer. Researchers also want to find out if the combination of nivolumab, ipilimumab and nintedanib is safe and tolerable.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Participants must have histologic or cytological diagnosis of advanced/metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with no curative treatment options. For those with mixed histology, there must be a predominant histology.
• 18 years of age or older on day of signing informed consent.
• Life expectancy of at least 3-6 months.
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score 0 and 1
• For phase I trial portion, treatment naïve or patients previously treated with chemotherapy, immunotherapy or targeted therapy for NSCLC are allowed. Patient who underwent curative intent chemotherapy and/radiation in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting are allowed to enroll if tumor recurrence occurred greater than 6 months from completion of that therapy (and will be considered treatment naïve in the Stage IV setting). Patients with NSCLC tumor known to harbor a genomic aberration for which FDA approved treatment is available (i.e, non-resistant EGFR mutations, EGFR T790M mutation, ALK rearrangement, ROS rearrangement, BRAF V600E mutation) are allowed to enroll if they have received prior treatment with the FDA approved targeted therapy.
• For phase II trial portion, Patients will be enrolled as two parallel cohorts:
• A.) Arm A (treatment naïve): Patients who are newly diagnosed and treatment naïve. Patient who underwent curative intent chemotherapy and/radiation in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting are allowed to enroll if tumor recurrence occurred greater than 6 months from completion of therapy. Patients with NSCLC tumor known to harbor a genomic aberration for which FDA approved treatment is available (i.e, non-resistant EGFR mutations, EGFR T790M mutation, ALK rearrangement, ROS rearrangement, BRAF V600E mutation) are allowed to enroll if they have received prior treatment with the FDA approved targeted therapy.
• B.) Arm B (Immunotherapy pre-treated group): Patients who have received prior immunotherapy. Patients who are primary refractory to immunotherapy (i.e., Patients who were previously treated with immunotherapy and did not at least achieve stable disease on first imaging assessment on immunotherapy) or have relapsed disease (i.e., Patients that were treated with immunotherapy, achieved at least stable disease on first imaging assessment and subsequently developed disease progression or relapse). Patients with NSCLC tumor known to harbor a genomic aberration for which FDA approved treatment is available (i.e, non-resistant EGFR mutations, EGFR T790M mutation, ALK rearrangement, ROS rearrangement, BRAF V600E mutation) are allowed to enroll if they have received prior treatment with the FDA approved targeted therapy
• At least one measurable lesion according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 criteria.
• QTcB must be <470 ms for males and <480 ms for females.
• Adequate normal organ and marrow function as defined below:
• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >1.5 x 10\^9/L (> 1500 per mm\^3)
• Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL
• Platelet count ≥ 100 x 10\^9/L (>100,000 per mm\^3)
• Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 X normal institutional limits. For patients with liver metastasis: total bilirubin must be within normal limits.
• Proteinuria less than Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade 2 or greater
• (Except patients with Gilbert Syndrome, who can have total bilirubin < 3.0 mg/dL
• AST (SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) ≤1.5 X institutional upper limit of norma (ULN)l or ≤ 2.5 X ULN for patients with liver metastases. This will not apply to patients with confirmed Gilbert's syndrome (persistent or recurrent hyperbilirubinemia that is predominantly unconjugated in the absence of hemolysis or hepatic pathology), who will be allowed only in consultation with their physician.
• Serum creatinine CL ≤ 1.5 X ULN or creatinine clearance > 45 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault formula (Cockcroft and Gault 1976) or by 24-hour urine collection for determination of creatinine clearance.
• Have archival tissue where available.
• In addition, patients enrolled on the clinical trial must be willing and able to provide tissue from a newly obtained core or excisional biopsy of a tumor lesion. Patients for whom newly obtained samples cannot be provided may submit an archived specimen only upon agreement from the Sponsor.
• Female participants of childbearing potential should have a negative urine or serum pregnancy within 72 hours before receiving the first dose of study medication. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required.
• Ability to understand and willingness to provide written informed consent signed and dated prior to admission to the study in accordance with International Conference on Harmonisation-Good Clinical Practice (ICH-GCP) guidelines and to the local legislation.

• Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication 7 days before the first dose of nivolumab or ipilimumab, with the exceptions of intranasal and inhaled corticosteroids or systemic corticosteroids at physiological doses, which are not to exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone, or an equivalent corticosteroid. A brief course (≤28 days) of corticosteroids for prophylaxis (e.g., contrast dye allergy) or for treatment of non-autoimmune conditions (e.g., delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction caused by contact allergen) is permitted. Topical corticosteroids are permitted.
