Brief Summary:
This randomized phase II clinical trial studies whether the addition of nivolumab to cisplatin (or carboplatin) and etoposide will improve outcomes when treating patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, carboplatin, and etoposide, 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, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving cisplatin/carboplatin and etoposide together with nivolumab may work better in treating patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer.

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer (ED-SCLC) treated with cisplatin/carboplatin and etoposide (CE) or CE with nivolumab (CEN) as front-line treatment.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate overall survival of patients with ED-SCLC treated with cisplatin/carboplatin and etoposide (CE) or CE with nivolumab (CEN) as front-line treatment.

II. To assess best overall response rate after treatment with CE with or without nivolumab as first line treatment.

III. To evaluate the toxicity profile of nivolumab with CE.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate immune biomarkers and biomarkers correlatives. II. To evaluate serial circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and explore whether clinical outcome is associated with fluctuations in DNA levels following the administration of therapy.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM A: Patients receive nivolumab intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day 1, carboplatin IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1 or cisplatin IV over 60-120 minutes on day 1, and etoposide IV over 60-120 minutes on days 1-3. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients continue to receive nivolumab IV over 30 minutes every 2 weeks for up to 2 years.

ARM B: Patients receive carboplatin IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1 or cisplatin IV over 60-120 minutes on day 1, and etoposide IV over 60-120 minutes on days 1-3. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months if the patient is less than 2 years from registration, every 6 months if the patient is 2-3 years from registration, and yearly for up to 5 years from study enrollment.

Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression free survival [ Time Frame: From randomization to documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 5 years ]
    Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox proportional hazards models will be used to estimate the treatment hazard ratios. Will use a logrank test stratified on the randomization stratification factors with a one-sided type I error rate of 10%.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall survival [ Time Frame: From randomization to death from any cause, and patients who are thought to be alive at the time of final analysis will be censored at the last date of contact, assessed up to 5 years ]
    Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox proportional hazards models will be used to estimate the treatment hazard ratios.

  2. Best overall response rate [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Will be assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1. Will be compared using Fisher's exact tests with a one-sided type I error rate of 10%; multivariable logistic regression modeling will be used to adjust for the effect of any covariates that are associated with these categorical outcomes. Continuous outcomes will be analyzed using Wilcoxon rank sum test, and multivariable linear regression models may be used to adjust for multiple associations with outcome.

  3. Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Will be assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 criteria. Will be compared using Fisher's exact tests with a one-sided type I error rate of 10%; multivariable logistic regression modeling will be used to adjust for the effect of any covariates that are associated with these categorical outcomes. Continuous outcomes will be analyzed using Wilcoxon rank sum test, and multivariable linear regression models may be used to adjust for multiple associations with outcome.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Immune biomarkers and biomarkers correlatives [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Will be analyzed for association with subject demographics and/or disease characteristics using the Kruskal Wallis test.

  2. Serial circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Will be analyzed for association with subject demographics and/or disease characteristics using the Kruskal Wallis test.
