LUNG CANCER

23.0751:  A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo- and Active-Comparator Controlled Clinical Study of Adjuvant V940 (mRNA-4157) Plus Pembrolizumab Versus Adjuvant Placebo Plus Pembrolizumab in Participants With Resected Stage II, IIIA, IIIB (N2) Non-small Cell Lung Cancer 

Principal Investigator: Goetz Kloecker MD, MBA, MSPH 

Phase:  III 

Description:  The goal of this study is to evaluate V940 plus pembrolizumab versus placebo plus pembrolizumab for the adjuvant treatment of completely resected (R0) Stage II, IIIA, IIIB (with nodal involvement [N2]) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary hypothesis is that V940 plus pembrolizumab is superior to placebo plus pembrolizumab with respect to disease-free survival (DFS) as assessed by the investigator.

23.0042:  A Phase 1/2, First-In-Human, Multi-Part, Open-Label Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Biological and Clinical Activity of DF9001 as a monotherapy and in combination with nivolumab in Patients With Advanced (Unresectable, Recurrent, or Metastatic) Solid Tumors, and Expansion in Selected Indications 

Principal Investigator: Rebecca Redman, MD 

Phase:  I/II

Description:  DF9001-001 is a study of a new molecule that targets natural killer (NK) cells and T-cell activation signals to specific receptors on cancer cells. The study will occur in two phases. The first phase will be a dose escalation phase, enrolling patients with various types of solid tumors that express epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). A combination therapy cohort will be opened for enrollment, DF9001 + nivolumab. The second phase will include a dose expansion using the best dose selected from the first phase of the study. Multiple cohorts will be opened with eligible patients having selected solid tumors.

22.0189:  A Phase 1/2, open-label study of PD-1 knockout tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (IOV-4001) in participants with unresectable or metastatic melanoma or Stage III or IV non-small-cell lung cancer

Principal Investigator: Jason Chesney, MD, PhD

Description:  This study is the first-in-human study of IOV-4001, a genetically modified autologous tumor- infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) product. IOV-4001 is expected to have antitumor activity through its capacity to directly target and kill tumor cells in a manner that is similar to non-genome-edited TIL, but with the potential for enhanced antitumor activity due to disruption of PDCD1, the gene for programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1).

21.0839:  Randomized Phase II/III Trial of Consolidation Radiation + Immunotherapy for ES-SCLC: RAPTOR Trial

Principal Investigator: Neal Dunlap, MD

Phase:  2/3

Description:  This phase II/III trial compares the effect of adding radiation therapy to the usual maintenance therapy with atezolizumab versus atezolizumab alone in patients who have already received atezolizumab plus chemotherapy for the treatment of small cell lung cancer that has spread outside of the lung or to other parts of the body (extensive stage). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving radiation therapy in addition to atezolizumab may extend the time without extensive small cell lung cancer growing or spreading compared to atezolizumab alone.

21.0042:  A Phase III, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind, Multi-center, International Study of Durvalumab With Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) for the Treatment of Patients With Unresected Stage I/II, Lymph-node Negative Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (PACIFIC-4/RTOG-3515)

Principal Investigator: Neal Dunlap, MD

Phase: III

Description: This is a Phase III, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multi-center study assessing the efficacy and safety of durvalumab with SoC SBRT versus placebo with SoC SBRT in patients with unresected clinical Stage I/II lymph node-negative (T1 to T3N0M0) NSCLC.

08.0041:  Beta-glucan`s Immuno-modulatory Effect on Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Principal Investigator: Phuong Ngo, MD

Description:  The overall goal of this study is to lay the groundwork for eventual research into the utility of oral beta-glucan in patients receiving Cetuximab. Patient participation will be separated into two groups. AIM 2 will enroll 150 patients with suspected or confirmed with NCSLC. These patients will take beta-glucan 250 mg TID for 14 days. Blood samples will be collected at baseline and after treatment. AIM 3 will enroll 150 patients who have resectable NCSLC. This group will receive beta-glucan 250 mg TID for 10 to 20 days before resection of lung tumor. Blood samples will be collected at baseline and after treatment (prior to surgery), and tissue will be collected during resection.

20.0535: MRI Brain Surveillance Alone Versus MRI Surveillance and Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation (PCI): A Randomized Phase III Trial in Small-Cell Lung Cancer (MAVERICK)

Principal Investigator: Neal Dunlap, MD

Phase: III

Description: This phase III trial studies magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) surveillance and prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) to see how well they work compared to MRI surveillance alone in treating patients with small cell lung cancer. MRI scans are used to monitor the possible spread of the cancer with an MRI machine over time. PCI is radiation therapy that is delivered to the brain in hopes of preventing spread of cancer into the brain. The use of brain MRI alone may reduce side effects of receiving PCI and prolong patients' lifespan. Monitoring with MRI scans alone (delaying radiation until the actual spread of the cancer) may be at least as good as the combination of PCI with MRI scans.

17.1155: A Phase 1 Study of RGX-104, a Small Molecule LXR Agonist, in Patients With Advanced Solid Malignancies and Lymphoma With an Expansion in Select Malignancies     

Principal Investigator: Rebecca Redman, M.D.     

Description: Study RGX-104-001 is a Phase 1, first-in-human, dose escalation and expansion study of RGX-104, an oral small molecule targeting the liver X receptor (LXR). RGX-104 activates LXR, resulting in depletion of both myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) as well as tumor blood vessels. MDSCs block the ability of T-cells and other cells of the immune system from attacking tumors.     

Phase:  I

(LN-144 or LN-145) in Patients with Solid Tumors    

Principal Investigator:  Jason A Chesney, MD, PhD

Description:  A prospective, open-label, multi-cohort, non-randomized, multicenter Phase 2 study evaluating adoptive cell therapy (ACT) with TIL LN-144 (Lifileucel)/LN-145 in combination with pembrolizumab. TIL as a single-therapy will be evaluated with LN-145 only.

15.0122 - CIRB - A Phase III Double-Blind Trial for Surgically Resected Early Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Crizotinib versus Placebo for Patients with Tumors Harboring the Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) Fusion Protein.

Principal Investigator:  Jason Chesney, M.D., Ph.D.

Description:  This randomized phase III trial studies how well crizotinib works and compares it to placebo in treating patients with stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that has been removed by surgery and has a mutation in a protein called ALK. Mutations, or changes, in ALK can make it very active and important for tumor cell growth and progression. Tumors with this mutation may respond to treatments that target the mutation, such as crizotinib. Crizotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the ALK protein from working. It is not yet known if crizotinib may be an effective treatment for treating non-small cell lung cancer with an ALK fusion mutation.

15.0075 - Adjuvant Lung Cancer Enrichment Marker Identification and Sequencing Trial (ALCHEMIST).

Principal Investigator:  Jason Chesney, M.D., Ph.D.

Description:  This research trial studies genetic testing in screening patients with stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that has been or will be removed by surgery. Studying the genes in a patient's tumor cells may help doctors select the best treatment for patients that have certain genetic changes.
