ICI Rechallenge for Advanced NSCLC With Long-Term Response to First-Line ICI

Summary

An exploratory phase II trial of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs, anti-PD-1/anti-PD-L1) as second-line treatment with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who had long-term response to first-line immunotherapy (with or without chemotherapy). This study aims to evaluate efficacy and safety of ICI rechallenge in long-term responders to prior ICI. Furthermore, it seeks to identify biomarkers capable of predicting the efficacy of immunotherapy and prognosis.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Participants must have a thorough understanding of this study and voluntarily sign an informed consent form (ICF);
2. Age between 18 and 80 years, any gender;
3. Histologically or cytologically confirmed stage III-IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC);
4. Previous treated with first-line immunotherapy (immunotherapeutic agents include currently marketed anti-PD-L1 or anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies: pembrolizumab, nivolumab, atezolizumab, durvalumab, tislelizumab, toripalimab, sintilimab, camrelizumab, etc.; investigational drugs not yet marketed need discussion with the study team prior to enrollment; with or without platinum-based doublet chemotherapy) for at least 35 cycles or disease stability confirmed by imaging assessment for at least 2 years, and disease progression;
5. Measurable disease (at least 1 lesion) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1);
6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2;
7. Adequate organ function:

   Hematology: Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1500/μL; Platelets ≥100000/μL; Hemoglobin ≥9.0g/dL; Renal: Serum creatinine ≤1.5×ULN or calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥60 mL/min (using Cock-Gault formula); Hepatic: Total bilirubin ≤1.5 ×ULN or, for subjects with total bilirubin levels \>1.5×ULN, direct bilirubin within normal limits; AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) ≤2.5×ULN; Coagulation: International normalized ratio (INR) or prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≤1.5×ULN;
8. Subjects must be willing and able to comply with study visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, and other study procedures;
9. Female subjects of childbearing potential and male subjects with female partners of childbearing potential must agree to use highly effective contraception during the study and for 180 days after the last dose of the study drug.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Received two or more prior systemic therapies;
2. Known sensitive EGFR mutation (EGFR exon19 del or EGFR exon21 L858R) or ALK rearrangement;
3. Symptomatic or progressing CNS metastases, leptomeningeal metastases;
4. History of autoimmune disease, active autoimmune disease, immunodeficiency, or requiring systemic corticosteroid/immunosuppressive therapy; (except: a history of hypothyroidism; well-controlled stable type I diabetes mellitus);
5. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (including interstitial pneumonia), drug-induced pneumonitis, history of (non-infectious) pneumonia/interstitial lung disease requiring steroid therapy;
6. Known active tuberculosis, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection; active hepatitis B (defined as positive HBsAg or positive hepatitis B virus DNA test result above the detection limit) or hepatitis C (defined as known positive HCV antibody result, known quantitative HCV-RNA analysis result above the detection limit) history; other known active infections requiring systemic therapy;
7. Received systemic immunostimulatory therapy within 4 weeks before initiation of study treatment or within 5 half-lives of the drug (whichever is longer);
8. Pregnancy, lactation, planning to become pregnant, or fathering a child during the anticipated duration of the study (from screening visit to 180 days after the last dose of investigational drug);
9. Prior allogeneic tissue/organ transplantation and other conditions unsuitable for immunotherapy.
