Summary

This phase III trial compares standard therapy given after surgery (adjuvant) to standard therapy given before and after surgery (perioperative) in treating patients with stage II-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that can be removed by surgery (resectable). The usual approach for patients with resectable NSCLC is chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy before surgery, after surgery, or both before and after surgery. This study is being done to find out which approach is better at treating patients with lung cancer. Treatment will be administered according to the current standard of care at the time of enrollment. Chemotherapy options may include cisplatin, carboplatin, pemetrexed, gemcitabine, docetaxel, and vinorelbine at standard doses according to the treating physician. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. 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 tumor cells. Pemetrexed is in a class of medications called antifolate antineoplastic agents. It works by stopping cells from using folic acid to make deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill tumor cells. Gemcitabine is a chemotherapy drug that blocks the cells from making DNA and may kill tumor cells. Docetaxel is in a class of medications called taxanes. It stops tumor cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Other chemotherapy drugs, such as vinorelbine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading . Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, pembrolizumab, and atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Starting treatment with chemotherapy and immunotherapy prior to surgery and continuing treatment after surgery may be a more effective treatment option than adjuvant therapy alone in patients with stage II-IIIB resectable NSCLC.

Detailed description

The primary and secondary objectives of the study: PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To compare the 3-year real-world event-free survival (rwEFS) rate and overall survival (OS) between perioperative and adjuvant immunotherapy-based treatment for patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer (dual endpoints). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare the rates of surgical resection between the two arms. II. To compare the rates of complete resection (R0) between the two arms. III. To summarize and compare rates of adverse events (AEs) resulting in permanent treatment discontinuation, hospitalization, or death between the two arms. IV. To evaluate the association between locally defined pathological complete response (pCR) and rwEFS in patients randomized to the perioperative arm (arm 2). V. To compare the rwEFS post 3-years from randomization between the two arms among patients who do not experience an event by 3 years. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare outcomes according to the systemic therapy administered on each arm. II. To compare the sites of relapse between the two treatment arms. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM 1: SURGERY: Patients undergo surgery within 28 days of registration. ADJUVANT THERAPY: Patients receive platinum-based doublet chemotherapy (cisplatin, carboplatin, pemetrexed, gemcitabine, docetaxel, and/or vinorelbine) for up to 4 cycles and immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy (nivolumab, pembrolizumab, and/or atezolizumab) for up to 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity according to current approved guidelines. ARM 2: NEOADJUVANT THERAPY: Within 28 days of registration, patients receive platinum-based doublet chemotherapy (cisplatin, carboplatin, pemetrexed, gemcitabine, docetaxel, and/or vinorelbine) for up to 4 cycles in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitor (nivolumab, pembrolizumab, and/or atezolizumab) according to current approved guidelines. SURGERY: Patients undergo surgery. ADJUVANT THERAPY: Patients receive immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy (nivolumab, pembrolizumab, and/or atezolizumab) for up to 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity according to current approved guidelines. Patients also undergo computed tomography (CT) throughout the study and may undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or positron emission tomography (PET)/CT at screening. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for up to 10 years.
