Trial Identification

Brief Title: Pembrolizumab, Paclitaxel, Carboplatin, and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage II-IIIB Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Official Title: Moving PD-1 Blockade With Pembrolizumab Into Concurrent Chemoradiation for Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Study ID: NCT02621398

Study Description

Brief Summary: This phase I trial studies the side effects, best dose, and best way to give pembrolizumab when given together with paclitaxel, carboplatin, and radiation therapy in treating patients with stage II-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving pembrolizumab together with paclitaxel, carboplatin, and radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.

Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess safety and toxicity of anti-programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) inhibition with pembrolizumab with concurrent chemoradiation therapy for non-operable, locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate local control and distant metastasis-free survival, progression-free and overall survival with the addition of pembrolizumab to chemoradiotherapy. II. To evaluate the rates of pneumonitis that may result from combination pembrolizumab and chemoradiotherapy. TERTIARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess whether programmed cell death ligand 1 (PDL1) status on immunohistochemistry is predictive of response to pembrolizumab when combined with chemoradiation therapy. II. To assess T cell (cluster of differentiation 8 positive \[CD8+\] T cells and CD4+ forkhead box P3 positive \[FoxP3+\] regulatory cells) responses at weeks 1, 3, 6 during chemoradiation therapy and before each administration of pembrolizumab for cycles 1, 2, 3. OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of pembrolizumab. Patients receive paclitaxel intravenously (IV) over 1 hour and carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, and 36. Patients undergo 3-dimensional (3D) conformal radiation therapy (CRT) or intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) once daily (QD) 5 days a week for 6 weeks . Beginning 2-6 weeks after, 2 weeks before the end, or at the start of chemotherapy and radiation therapy , patients also receive pembrolizumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment with pembrolizumab repeats every 21 days for up to 18 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days every 12 weeks for 1 year, every 16 weeks for 1 year, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.
