Brief Title: Ipilimumab and Nivolumab in Recurrent Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer After Receiving Platinum-based Chemotherapy
Official Title: A Pilot Study of Combination Immunotherapy With Ipilimumab and Nivolumab in Patients With Recurrent Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) Who Have Previously Received Platinum-based Chemotherapy
Study ID: NCT03670056
Brief Summary: This is a pilot study of patients who previously received platinum chemotherapy with recurrent SCLC to evaluate the change in the ratio of intratumoral Teff/Treg cells and clinical benefit of treatment with nivolumab and ipilimumab.
Detailed Description: The primary objective of this study is t assess whether the change in the ratio of effector T cells (Teff) to regulatory T cells (Treg), i.e. CD8 positive/FoxP3 expressing CD4 T cells, between pre- and on- treatment biopsies, will predict clinical response in patients with recurrent SCLC treated with combination therapy with nivolumab and ipilimumab. Secondary objectives of the study include: to determine the objective response rate per RECIST 1.1 and immune-related response criteria, duration of response, progression free survival, and overall survival with nivolumab and ipilimumab in patients with recurrent SCLC; to evaluate changes in the tumor immune microenvironment and blood after treatment with ipilimumab and nivolumab; and to evaluate circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a marker for response to therapy.
