Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for This Study Will Evaluate the Effect of Canakinumab or Pembrolizumab Given as Monotherapy or in Combination as Neo-adjuvant Treatment for Subjects With Early Stages NSCLC.

Study Description

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the major pathological response (MPR) rate of canakinumab given as a neoadjuvant treatment, either as single agent or in combination with pembrolizumab, in addition to evaluate the MPR of pembrolizumab as a single agent and the dynamic of the tumor microenvironment changes on treatment.

Detailed Description: This was a randomized, phase II, open-label study evaluating canakinumab, an anti-IL-1β monoclonal antibody, or pembrolizumab, a monoclonal antibody designed to block the PD-1 receptor, as monotherapy or in combination as neoadjuvant therapy. The study population included adult subjects with resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) planned for surgery in approximately 4-6 weeks. Subjects were treated for a maximum duration of 6 weeks (2 cycles) until surgery, progression, unacceptable toxicity or discontinuation from the study treatment for any other reason. Subjects were randomized in a 2:2:1 ratio to one of the 3 treatment arms (canakinumab alone or canakinumab in combination with pembrolizumab or pembrolizumab alone). Surgery was performed between 4 to 6 weeks after the first dose of study treatment. All randomized subjects were followed for safety for up to 130 days following the last dose of study treatment (safety follow-up period).
