Inhaled or topical steroids, and adrenal replacement steroid doses > 10 mg daily prednisone equivalent, are permitted in the absence of active autoimmune disease.

Más betegség

• Patients with a combination of small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, a carcinoid lung tumor or large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma
• Patients with an active, known or suspected autoimmune disease.

• Patients with active or uncontrolled infections or with serious medical conditions or disorders that may not allow patient management as established in the protocol
• History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia (e.g., bronchiolitis obliterans), drug-induced pneumonitis, idiopathic pneumonitis, or evidence of radiation pneumonitis put of the radiation field on screening chest CT scan. History of radiation pneumonitis in the radiation field (fibrosis) is permitted.

Laborértékek

Életkor

• Patients with a history of other malignant diseases within the past 3 years, with the exception of the following:
  • properly treated non-melanotic skin cancer
  • cancer in situ treated with curative intent
  • nonmuscular propria invasive carcinoma of the bladder
  • or other malignancies treated with curative intent and without signs of disease for a period of > 3 years after the end of the treatment and which, in the opinion of the physician in charge of their treatment, do not present a substantial risk of relapse of the previous malignant disease.

Egyéb

• Leptomeningeal carcinomatosis or metastases in the brain stem, mid-brain, pons, medulla or causing obstructive hydrocephalus
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women

• COHORT A Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed stage IV NSCLC who did not receive any prior systemic therapy for advanced disease and have synchronous untreated brain metastases which does not cause neurologic symptoms and does not require systemic corticosteroid treatment within 10 days before initiating study treatment (controlled seizures with antiepileptic drugs should be allowed).
• COHORT B Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed stage IV NSCLC who did not receive any prior systemic therapy for advanced disease and have synchronous brain metastasis causing neurologic signs and symptoms controlled with medium-low doses of corticosteroids (≤ 25mg/d of prednisone or ≤ 4mg/d of dexamethasone) but have good performance status (ECOG PS0-1). At least one untreated brain lesion in patients who already received focal radiotherapy (stereotactic focal radiotherapy) of prior brain lesions are eligible if novel brain lesions appear which are measurable and not suitable for focal radiotherapy.3. Patients with early or locally advanced NSCLC who have recurred after 6 months of completing adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy and have brain metastases are also eligible
• ECOG performance status 0-1
• Patients aged ≥ 18 years
• Systemic measurable disease by computed tomography (CT) per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors version (RECIST) 1.1 criteria and brain measurable disease by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) per RANO-BM criteria.
• Availability of a formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded block containing tumor tissue or 10 unstained slides. Archival tumor tissue can be sent if it was obtained less than 12 months ago.
• Correct hematological, hepatic and renal function. i. Neutrophils ≥ 1500×109/L ii. Platelets ≥ 100 ×109/L iii. Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL iv. Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN or creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 45 mL/min (if using the Cockcroft-Gault formula below): a. Female CrCl = (140 - age in years) x weight in kg x 0.85/ 72 x serum creatinine in mg/dL b. Male CrCl = (140 - age in years) x weight in kg x 1.00/ 72 x serum creatinine in mg/dL v. AST/ALT ≤ 3 x ULN. Patients with documented liver metastases: AST and/or ALT ≤ 5 × ULN vi. Total Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN (except subjects with Gilbert Syndrome, who can have total bilirubin < 3.0 x ULN) vii. PT/APTT ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN). This applies only to patients who are not receiving therapeutic anticoagulation; patients receiving therapeutic anticoagulation should be on a stable dose
