Summary

This is an open-label, non-randomised, phase II, multicenter clinical trial. 71 stage IV or recurrent, non-small cell lung cancer patients with synchronous brain metastases will be enrolled in this trial to evaluate the efficacy of Nivolumab plus Ipilimumab plus two cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy as first line treatment.

Detailed description

This is an open-label, non-randomised, phase II, multicenter clinical trial. The total sample size is 71 patients. The population to be included are stage IV or recurrent, non-small cell lung cancer patients with synchronous brain metastases. Patients randomised will receive induction treatment with two cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy plus Nivolumab and Ipilimumab. At the end of induction treatment the patient with start maintenance with Nivolumab and Ipilimumab until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, loss of clinical benefit as judged by the investigator or up to a maximum of 2 years of treatment The primary objective of this trial is to determine the rate of intracranial clinical benefit, defined as the percentage of patients who had lack of radiological or clinical progression for at least 6 months according to RANO-BM assessment criteria. Patient accrual is expected to be completed within 1.5 years, treatment is planned to extend for 1 year and the patients will be followed up for 2 years. The study will end once survival follow-up has concluded.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Ipilimumab	Patients will receive Ipilimumab 1mg/Kg administered by IV infusion every 42 days (Q6W) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, loss of clinical benefit as judged by the investigator or up to a maximum of 2 years of treatment. Structure: is a fully human monoclonal antibody with two heavy chains and two kappa light chains linked together by way of disulfide bonds. The molecular weight is approximately 148 kDa and it exists in solution at a physiologic pH of 7.0. Route of administration: Intravenous infusion.
DRUG	Nivolumab	Patients will receive Nivolumab 360 mg administered by IV infusion every 21 days (Q3W) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, loss of clinical benefit as judged by the investigator or up to a maximum of 2 years of treatment. Structure: Nivolumab is a soluble protein consisting of 4 polypeptide chains, which include 2 identical heavy chains and 2 identical light chains. Route of administration: Intravenous infusion.
DRUG	Carboplatin	Patients will receive Carboplatin AUC 5 or 6 administered by IV infusion every 21 days (Q3W), for 2 cycles. Structure: The cis-diamino (cyclobutane-1, 1 dicarboxylate) platin. Stability: 24 hours at ambient temperature in 5% glucose, glucosa or physiologic saline. It is recommended not to dilute with chlorinated solutions since this could affect the carboplatin. Route of administration: Intravenous infusion. Guidelines of Carboplatin administration: According to the standard of each center.
DRUG	Cisplatin	Patients will receive Cisplatin 75mg/m2 administered by IV infusion every 21 days (Q3W), for 2 cycles. Structure: (CAS No. 15663-27-1, MF-Cl2H6N2Pt; NCF-119875), cisplatinum, also called cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II), is a metallic (platinum) coordination compound with a square planar geometry. It is a white or deep yellow to yellow-orange crystalline powder at room temperature. Stability: Do not store above 25°C. Do not refrigerate or freeze. Keep container in the outer carton to protect from light. Following dilution in 0.9% sodium chloride injection, chemical and physical in-use stability has been demonstrated for up to 14 days at 20°C. Route of administration: Intravenous infusion. Guidelines of Cisplatin administration: According to the standard of each center.
DRUG	Paclitaxel	Patients will receive Paclitaxel 200mg/m2 administered by IV infusion every 21 days (Q3W), for 2 cycles. Structure: A diterpene whose composition is: 5b, 20-epoxy-1, 2a, 4,7b, 10b, 13a-hexahidroxytax-11-en 9 one 4,10-diacetate 2-benzoate 13-ester with (2R,3S)- N-benzoyl-3-phenylisoserine. Stability: Concentrations of 0.3-1.2 mg/ml in 5% dextrose or normal saline have demonstrated chemical and physical stability for more that 27 hours at ambient temperature (25ºC approximately). The intact vial must be stored between 15º and 25ºC. Guidelines of Paclitaxel administration: Paclitaxel must be administered by infusion over 3 hours in dextrose (D5W) or normal saline (NS). The concentration must not exceed 1.2 mg/ml.
DRUG	Pemetrexed	Patients will receive Pemetrexed 500mg/m2 administered by IV infusion every 21 days (Q3W), for 2 cycles. Structure: Pemetrexed disodium (ALIMTA®, pemetrexed) is a novel pyrrol \[2,3 d\]-pyrimidine based folic acid analogue. Route of administration: Intravenous infusion. Guidelines of Pemetrexed administration: According to the standard of each center
