AN0025 with Carboplatin, Paclitaxel, Durvalumab and Radiation for the Treatment of Patients with Stage III Non Small Cell Lung Cancer
This phase I trial tests the safety and side effects of AN0025 with carboplatin, paclitaxel, durvalumab and radiation for the treatment of patients with stage III non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Immunotherapy with AN0025, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It stops cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. A monoclonal antibody, such as durvalumab, is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Giving AN0025 with carboplatin, paclitaxel durvalumab and radiation may be safe and tolerable in treating patients with stage III NSCLC.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Evaluate safety and toxicity of AN0025 in both the consolidative setting (after chemoradiation) and in the concurrent setting (during chemoradiation).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Evaluate pharmacokinetics of AN0025 in conjunction with chemoradiation, and then with durvalumab.
EXPLORAORY OBJECTIVE:
I. Evaluate efficacy by progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), and time to death or distant metastasis (TTMD), duration of response (DOR), overall survival (OS) with the addition of AN0025 in both the consolidative and concurrent settings.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of AN0025 followed by a dose-expansion study.
Patients receive AN0025 orally (PO) daily (QD). Starting week 3, patients also receive carboplatin intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes, paclitaxel IV over 60 minutes once a week (QW) and radiation QD Monday-Friday for 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients may receive no treatment for 2 weeks if needed and then resume AN0025 PO QD and durvalumab IV over 60 minutes every 2 or 4 weeks for a total of 52 weeks of total treatment in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo echocardiogram (ECHO) or multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan during screening and computed tomography (CT) scan, positron emission tomography (PET) scan, blood sample collection and may undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and then every 90 days for up to 36 months from time of enrollment.
