Durvalumab and Tremelimumab in Treating Patients with Recurrent Stage IV Lung Cancer (A Lung-MAP Treatment Trial)
This phase II Lung-MAP trial studies how well durvalumab and tremelimumab works in treating patients with stage IV lung cancer that has come back after previous treatment (recurrent). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab and tremelimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
Inclusion Criteria
- Patients must have been assigned to S1400F
- Patients must have progressed during or after prior platinum-based chemotherapy; for patients whose only prior platinum-based chemotherapy regimen was for stage I-III disease (i.e. patient has not received any platinum-based chemotherapy for stage IV or recurrent disease), disease progression on platinum-based chemotherapy must have occurred within one year from the last date that patient received that therapy; patients must also have experienced disease progression during or after prior anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 antibody monotherapy as their most recent line of treatment; prior PD-1/PD-L1 combination therapy is not permitted

- No other prior malignancy is allowed except for the following: adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer, adequately treated stage I or II cancer from which the patient is currently in complete remission, or any other cancer from which the patient has been disease free for five years.
- As a part of the OPEN registration process the treating institution's identity is provided in order to ensure that the current (within 365 days) date of institutional review board approval for this study has been entered in the system.
- Patients with impaired decision-making capacity are eligible as long as their neurological or psychological condition does not preclude their safe participation in the study (e.g., tracking pill consumption and reporting adverse events to the investigator).
- Patients must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and must sign and give written informed consent in accordance with institutional and federal guidelines.
Exclusion Criteria
- Patients must not have received nitrosoureas or mitomycin-C within 42 days prior to sub-study registration
- Patients must not have any prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disease (including inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis with the exception of diverticulosis, celiac disease, irritable bowel disease; Wegner syndrome; Hashimoto syndrome) within 3 years prior to sub-study registration; patients with vitiligo, immune-mediated alopecia, Grave’s disease, or psoriasis requiring systemic treatment within the past 2 years are not eligible; patients with hypothyroidism (e.g. post Hashimoto syndrome) who are stable on hormone replacement therapy are eligible
- Patients must not have any history of primary immunodeficiency
- Patients must not have received any immunosuppressive medication within 28 days prior to sub-study registration and must not be planning to receive these medications while on protocol therapy; systemic corticosteroids must be stopped at least 24 hours prior to sub-study registration; however, intranasal and inhaled corticosteroids are allowed at any time before and during protocol therapy
- Patients must not have experienced a grade 3 or worse immune-related adverse event (irAE) (except asymptomatic nonbullous/nonexfoliative rash) or any unresolved irAE grade 2, nor have experienced a toxicity that led to permanent discontinuation of prior anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy
- Patients must not have any history of organ transplant that requires use of immunosuppressives
- Patients must not have any known allergy or reaction to any component of the MEDI4736 (durvalumab) and/or tremelimumab formulation
- Patients must not have clinical signs or symptoms of active tuberculosis infection
- Patients must not have received a live attenuated vaccination within 28 days prior to sub-study registration

- COMMON EXCLUSION ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR ALL SUB-STUDIES
- Patients whose biomarker profiling results indicate the presence of an EGFR mutation or EML4/ALK fusion are not eligible.
- Patients must not have received any prior systemic therapy (systemic chemotherapy, immunotherapy or investigational drug) within 21 days prior to sub-study registration. Patients must have recovered (=< grade 1) from any side effects of prior therapy. Patients must not have received any radiation therapy within 14 days prior to sub-study registration.
- Patients must not be planning to receive any concurrent chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biologic or hormonal therapy for cancer treatment. Concurrent use of hormones for non-cancer-related conditions (e.g., insulin for diabetes and hormone replacement therapy) is acceptable.
- Patients must not have any grade III/IV cardiac disease as defined by the New York Heart Association criteria (i.e., patients with cardiac disease resulting in marked limitation of physical activity or resulting in inability to carry on any physical activity without discomfort), unstable angina pectoris, and myocardial infarction within 6 months, or serious uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia.
- Patients must not be pregnant or nursing. Women/men of reproductive potential must have agreed to use an effective contraceptive method. A woman is considered to be of "reproductive potential" if she has had menses at any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months. In addition to routine contraceptive methods, "effective contraception" also includes heterosexual celibacy and surgery intended to prevent pregnancy (or with a side-effect of pregnancy prevention) defined as a hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral tubal ligation. However, if at any point a previously celibate patient chooses to become heterosexually active during the time period for use of contraceptive measures outlined in the protocol, he/she is responsible for beginning contraceptive measures.

TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE OBJECTIVES:
I. To explore the association of potential predictive markers identified in S1400A, with response and progression-free survival (PFS).
II. To explore the association of PD-L1 expression status with response and PFS.
III. To contribute to an ongoing serum and tumor bank in S1400 or LUNGMAP.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive tremelimumab intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes on day 1 for cycles 1-4 and durvalumab IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for 2 years, and then at the end of year 3.
