Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: • Patient is eligible if diagnosed and currently under physician care for one of the following advanced stage or metastatic conditions: o Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer o Stage IV hepatocellular carcinoma o Stage IV renal cell carcinoma • Patient is currently receiving PD-1/PD-L1 axis immunotherapy as their most recent line of therapy, either alone or in combination with standard of care systemic therapy for their malignancy. • Patient has exhibited at least 6 months of response to PD-1/PD-L1 axis immunotherapy regimen (defined as complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) in their index tumors per RECIST 1.1) prior to progression. • Patient has radiologically documented or confirmed progressive disease (per RECIST 1.1) defined as a total of = 15mm in short axis. • In the judgement of the investigator, the patient is able to remain on PD-1/PD-L1 axis immunotherapy for at least 3 months after PEF treatment. • New tumors and areas of growth on existing tumors are amenable to standard of care biopsy in order to confirm disease progression. • Patient must be willing to undergo biopsy of at least one tumor prior to PEF treatment delivery unless there is documented histological confirmation of malignancy within 4 weeks prior to PEF treatment. • Patient refuses surgery and/or stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). • Life expectancy >= 12 weeks. • ECOG performance status 0-1.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: • Patient has implanted lung devices or electronic devices. • Patient is receiving bevacizumab concurrently with their PD-1/PD-L1 axis immunotherapy. • Patient has received any prior systemic therapy (systemic chemotherapy, immunotherapy or investigational drug) in another study within 21 days prior to study enrollment. • Patient is scheduled to receive any concurrent chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biologic or hormonal therapy for off-label cancer treatment while on this study. • Patient has unresolved adverse reaction to immunotherapy that requires dose modification. • Patient has received any radiation therapy within 6 weeks prior to study enrollment. • Patient for whom the investigator considers that the PEF treatment is not in the patient's best interest.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary safety endpoint will be the rate of device and/or procedure related serious adverse events (SAEs) from the initial PEF treatment through 30 days. AEs and SAEs will be summarized using a standard medical coding dictionary (MedDRA). AEs and SAEs will be also be summarized based on Common Terminology for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0, relatedness to the device and/or procedure, and within discrete time periods in relation to the index procedure. The primary clinical utility endpoint will be radiological assessment of response of PEF-treated tumors and lymph nodes (e.g., change in longest diameter of tumor, change in short axis of lymph node) at 90-day follow-up. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary clinical endpoints include: • Immunologic and biomarker assessments at baseline and follow-up including: o Changes in phenotypes of lymphocytes (e.g. CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, Treg, NK, Neutrophils MDSC, etc.) and serum levels of cytokines (e.g. IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IFN-*) from blood samples Other endpoints will include: • Procedural success of accessing tumors and delivering PEF treatment. • Duration of checkpoint inhibitor treatment beyond PEF treatment • Patient progression free survival (PFS) at 90 days. o PEF-treated tumor progression, new tumor appearance after PEF treatment, transition from indeterminate to cancer of previously existing lesion • Patient overall survival (OS) at 12 months. • Time to focal re-intervention of PEF-treated tumor(s) | — |
