Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Subjects must have signed and dated an IRB/IEC approved written informed consent form in accordance with regulatory and institutional guidelines. This must be obtained before the performance of any protocol related procedures that are not part of normal subject care. Subjects must be willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment schedule, and laboratory testing. 2. Histologically or cytologically-proven NSCLC (squamous or non-squamous). If the diagnosis is cytologically-proven, sufficient material is necessary with at least 100 tumor cells evaluated for PD-L1 IHC. 3.

Neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy is not considered as chemotherapy for advanced or metastatic disease. 10. Limited field of radiation for palliation within 2 weeks of the first dose of durvalumab is allowed, provided the lung is not in the radiation field and irradiated lesion(s) cannot be used as target lesions. 11. Age 18-70 years. 12. Measurable tumor disease by CT per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1. 13. Life expectancy > 8 weeks according to the investigator opinion. 14.

Other investigations detailed in Section 5 must have been performed within the timelines indicated. 16. Protocol treatment is to begin within 7 days of patient inclusion. 17. Evidence of post-menopausal status or negative urinary or serum pregnancy test for female pre-menopausal patients. Women will be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. The following age-specific requirements apply: - Women 1 year ago, had chemotherapy-induced menopause with last menses >1 year ago, or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy, bila

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Pure or combined SCLC. 2. Known HER2, B-Raf, activating tumor mutations, or exon 14 c-MET splice mutations, or known ROS1 gene rearrangement. 3. Asymptomatic or symptomatic brain metastasis. 4. Carcinomatous meningitis. 5. Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders (including inflammatory bowel disease [e.g., colitis or Crohn's disease], systemic lupus erythematosus, Sarcoidosis syndrome, or Wegener syndrome [granulomatosis with polyangiitis, Graves' disease, rheumatoid arthritis, hypophysitis, uveitis, etc]). The following are exceptions to this criterion: - Patients with vitiligo or alopecia - Patients with hypothyroidism (e.g., following Hashimoto syndrome) stable on hormone replacement - Any chronic skin condition that does not require systemic therapy - Patients without active disease in the last 5 years may be included but only after consultation with IFCT - Patients with celiac disease controlled by diet alone 6. Immunosuppressive treatment including systemic treatment with corticosteroids with greater dose than 10 mg prednisone equivalent daily, within 15 days before enrollment. Inhaled, nasal or topic corticosteroids are allowed. 7. History of allogenic organ transplantation. 8. Stage 4 (very severe, FEV1<30% predicted) chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) according to GOLD classification. 9. NYHA (New York Heart Association) class 4 chronic heart failure 10. Pre-existing interstitial lung. 11. History of another primary malignancy except for : • Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no known active disease =2 years before the first dose of IP and of low potential risk for recurrence • Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without evidence of disease • Adequately treated carcinoma in situ without evidence of residual disease Patients with a prostate adenocarcinoma history within the previous 5 years could be included in case of localized prostate cancer. 12. Living attenuated vaccine received within the 30 previous days. 13. Received any other experimental treatment or participation to any other therapeutic clinical trial. 14. Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the study drug or any of the study drug excipients. 15. Any concurrent chemotherapy, IP, biologic, or hormonal therapy for cancer treatment. Concurrent use of hormonal therapy for non-cancer-related conditions (e.g., hormone replacement therapy) is acceptable. 16. Major surgical procedure within 28 days prior to the first dose of IP or planned surgical procedure during treatment. 17. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, interstitial lung disease, serious chronic gastrointestinal conditions associated with diarrhea, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirement, substantially increase risk of incurring AEs or compromise the ability of the patient to give written informed consent. 18. Active infection including tuberculosis, hepatitis B (known positive HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) result) and hepatitis C,. Patients with a past or resolved HBV infection (defined as the presence of hepatitis B core antibody [anti-HBc] and absence of HBsAg) are eligible. Patients positive for hepatitis C (HCV) antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for HCV RNA. History of a

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: SAVIMMUNE IFCT-1802 phase 2 trial aims to study the safety and efficacy of a first-line therapy with anti-PD-L1 monoclonal DURVALUMAB antibody, in a subset of patient with PS 2-3, but highly PD-L1 expressing tumors, who are usually excluded from clinical trials, and for whom, thus, there is no recognized indication for immunotherapy. The hypothesis of this trial is that in such selected patients, tolerance of durvalumab would be acceptable, while its efficacy would rapidly improve general condition, resulting in significantly long survivals.;Secondary Objective: 1) Safety and tolerance will be performrom the date of durvaled in all treated patients. 2) Disease Control Rate at 8 weeks (percentage of patients with objective response or stable disease according to RECISTS 1.1 in the intent to treat population). 3) Objective Response Rate at 8 weeks 4) PFS 5) OS 6) Performans status improvement rate 7) Quality of Life 8) Centrally-assessed PD-L1 tumor expression;Primary end point(s): Percentage of patients experiencing Grade 3-5 TRAEs ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 8 weeks of durvalumab

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1) Safety and tolerance will be performed in all treated patients. 2) Disease Control Rate at 8 weeks (percentage of patients with objective response or stable disease according to RECISTS 1.1 in the intent to treat population). 3) Objective Response Rate at 8 weeks according to RECIST 1.1 in the intent to treat population. 4) PFS from the date of durvalumab initiation to progression date or death; PFS curves, PFS medians with 95% CIs, and PFS rates at 6 and 12 months with 95% CIs will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier methodology. 5) OS from the date of durvalumab initiation to the date of death. OS curves, OFS medians with 95% CIs, and OFS rates at 6 and 12 months with 95% CIs will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier methodology. 6) Performans status improvement rate, defined as the proportion of per-protocol patients whose PS was improved from baseline during durvalumab treatment. 7) Quality of Life will be evaluated using EORTC QLQ-C30/QLQ-LC13 and EQ-5D questionnaires. The questionnaires will be filled out by patients, in each center, before any medical visit with an investigator. All analyses will be performed according to the modified intention-to-treat principle (an ITT population with at least one available baseline HRQoL questionnaire). The time until definitive HRQoL score deterioration (TUDD) of a QoL score is defined as the interval between randomization and the date at which a deterioration =5 points compared to the baseline HRQoL score is observed, with no further improvement in HRQoL score ?5 points, or if a patient dropped out after this decrease, resulting in missing data. The TUDD curves will be calculated using the Kaplan–Meier estimation. 8) Centrally-assessed PD-L1 tumor expression: prognostic and predictive value using SP263 antibodies on a Ventana centralized IFCT immunohistochemistery platform using protocols for Ventana platform validated by the prospective French study (Adam et al. Annal Oncol 2018). Tumours will be class
