Brief summary

This is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center international study assessing the activity of durvalumab and chemotherapy administered prior to surgery compared with placebo and chemotherapy administered prior to surgery in terms of pathological complete response.

Interventions

DRUGDurvalumab

1500mg on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 4 cycles during the neoadjuvant period and 1500mg on Day 1 of each 4-week cycle for 12 cycles during the adjuvant period

OTHERPlacebo

Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 4 cycles during the neoadjuvant period and Day 1 of each 4-week cycle for 12 cycles during the adjuvant period

DRUGCarboplatin

Area under the curve of 5/6 on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 4 cycles

DRUGCisplatin

75 mg/m2 on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle, for 4 cycles

DRUGPemetrexed

500 mg/m2 on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 4 cycles.

DRUGPaclitaxel

200mg/m2 on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 4 cycles.

DRUGGemcitabine

1250 mg/m2 on Day 1 and Day 8 of each 3-week cycle, for 4 cycles.

PROCEDURESurgery

Expected within 40 days from the last dose of Investigational Product following the completion of neoadjuvant treatment.

Inclusion criteria

* Age ≥18 years * Newly diagnosed and previously untreated patients with histologically or cytologically documented NSCLC with resectable (Stage IIA to select \[ie, N2\] Stage IIIB) disease * World Health Organization (WHO)/ECOG PS of 0 or 1 at enrollment * At least 1 lesion, not previously irradiated, that qualifies as a RECIST 1.1 Target Lesion (TL) at baseline * No prior exposure to immune-mediated therapy including, but not limited to, other anti-CTLA-4, anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, and anti-PD-L2 antibodies, excluding therapeutic anticancer vaccines * Adequate organ and marrow function * Confirmation of a patient's tumour PD-L1 status * Provision of sufficient tumour biopsy sample for evaluation and confirmation of EGFR and ALK status * Planned surgery must comprise lobectomy, sleeve resection, or bilobectomy

Exclusion criteria

* History of allogeneic organ transplantation * Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders (including inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sarcoidosis syndrome, or Wegener syndrome) * History of another primary malignancy * History of active primary immunodeficiency * Active infection including tuberculosis hepatitis B and C, or human immunodeficiency virus * Deemed unresectable NSCLC by multidisciplinary evaluation * Patients who have pre-operative radiotherapy treatment as part of their care plan * Patients who have brain metastases or spinal cord compression * Stage IIIB N3 and Stages IIIC, IVA, and IVB NSCLC * Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or excipients * Existence of more than one primary tumour such as mixed small cell and NSCLC histology * Patients whose planned surgery at enrollment includes any of the following procedures: pneumonectomy, segmentectomies, or wedge resections * Patients with a documented test result confirming the presence of EGFRm or ALK translocation

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Event-Free Survival (EFS) in modified intent to treat (mITT) populationUp to 5.5 years after first patient randomized.An event is defined as documented RECIST 1.1 local or distant recurrence of lung cancer; death due to any cause; disease progression that precludes surgery or discovered upon attempting surgery that prevents completion of surgery.
Pathological Complete Response (pCR) in modified intent-to-treat (mITT) populationUp to approximately 15 weeks after randomizationDefined as the lack of any viable tumour cells after complete evaluation in the resected lung cancer specimen and all sampled regional lymph nodes.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Disease-free survival (DFS) in modified resected populationFrom date of randomization to approximately 5.5 years after date of resection
Major Pathological Response (mPR) in modified intent to treat (mITT) populationUp to approximately 15 weeks after randomization

Event-free survival (EFS) in PD-L1-TC ≥1% patients in modified intent to treat (mITT) populationFrom date of randomization to 5.5 years after randomization
pCR in PD-L1-TC ≥1% patients in modified intent to treat (mITT) populationUp to approximately 15 weeks after randomization

Overall Survival (OS) in PD-L1-TC ≥1% patients in modified intent to treat (mITT) populationFrom date of randomization to 5.5 years after randomization.
To assess disease-related symptoms and HRQoL (EORTC QLQ-LC13) in patients treated with durvalumab + chemotherapy prior to surgery followed by durvalumab post-surgery compared with placebo + chemotherapy prior to surgery followed by placebo post-surgeryFrom date of screening to 6 months after last dose of IPTo assess disease-related symptoms, functioning, and global health status/quality of life in patients.
To assess the PK of durvalumab in bloodFrom date of randomization to 2 months after resectionTo assess concentration of durvalumab in bloodstream.
Presence of ADA for durvalumabFrom date of randomization to 3 months after last dose of IPTo evaluate the presence of antibodies following treatment with study medications.
Disease-Free Survival (DFS) in PD-L1-TC ≥1% patients in modified resected populationFrom date of randomization to 5.5 years after date of resection
To assess disease-related symptoms and HRQoL (EORTC QLQ-C30) in patients treated with durvalumab + chemotherapy prior to surgery followed by durvalumab post-surgery compared with placebo + chemotherapy prior to surgery followed by placebo post-surgeryFrom date of screening to 6 months after last dose of IPTo assess disease-related symptoms, functioning, and global health status/quality of life in patients.
