Descrizione riassuntiva dello studio

The study aims to investigate whether the survival of patients with small cell lung cancer without metastases, i.e., in the limited stage (« limited disease »), can be improved by immunotherapy with Atezolizumab following combined radio-chemotherapy. Some patients are cured after the current standard treatment (combined radio-chemotherapy), but for many, the disease returns. The study examines whether the risk of relapse can be reduced by additional immunotherapy with Atezolizumab. Several studies have already shown that immunotherapy (including Atezolizumab) is effective in metastatic small cell lung cancer. Atezolizumab works by supporting the immune system in fighting the cancer. However, Atezolizumab can also cause the immune system to attack the body's own organs and tissues, which can lead to side effects.

Intervento studiato

All participants receive the standard treatment consisting of four cycles of chemotherapy with a platinum derivative and Etoposide in addition to radiation therapy. Patients who respond well to this treatment are offered prophylactic cranial irradiation to prevent metastases. Patients eligible for the study treatment are randomly assigned either to the intervention group, i.e., treatment with Atezolizumab, or to the control group, i.e., no active therapy and regular monitoring. Patients in the control arm are observed according to local and national guidelines. The individual treatment lasts a total of about 1 year and 3 months. In this study, participants will be observed over a total period of 5 years from the start of the study.

Disegno dello studio
Allocation: Randomized. Intervention model: Parallel Assignment. Primary purpose: Treatment. Masking: None (Open Label). (ICTRP)

Criteri di inclusione/esclusione
Gender: All
Maximum age: N/A
Minimum age: 18 Years
Inclusion Criteria:

- Histologically or cytologically confirmed small-cell lung cancer

- Previous radiotherapy to the thorax is allowed as long as the patient can receive
TRT of 45 Gy.

- Stage I-III according to TNM v8 ineligible for surgery provided all lesions can be
included in a tolerable radiotherapy field ("limited disease")

- ECOG performance status 0-2

- Measureable disease according to the RECIST 1.1

- Adequate organ function defined as: (a) Serum alanine transaminase (ALT) = 2.5 x
upper limit of normal (ULN); (b) Total serum bilirubin = 1.5 x ULN; (c)Absolute
neutrophil count (ANC) = 1.5 x 10 superscr 9/L; (d) Platelets = 100 x 10 superscr
9/L ; (e) Creatinine < 100 ?mol/L and calculated creatinine-clearance > 50 ml/min.
If calculated creatinine-clearance is < 50 ml/min, an EDTA clearance should be
performed

- No malignant cells in pericardial or pleural fluid (at least 1 sample should be
obtained if pleural fluid is present) If there is so little fluid that it cannot
easily be collected, the patient is considered eligible.

- Pulmonary function: FEV1 > 1 l or > 30 % of predicted value and DLCO > 30 % of
predicted value

- Female patients of childbearing potential (Postmenarcheal, not postmenopausal (>12
continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause), and
no surgical sterilization) should use highly effective contraception and take active
measures to avoid pregnancy while undergoing atezolizumab treatment and for at least
5 months after the last dose. Birth control methods considered to be highly
effective are listed in Appendix D of the protocol

- Written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

- previous systemic therapy for SCLC or immune checkpoint blockade therapy

- serious concomitant systemic disorders (for example active infection, unstable
cardiovascular disease) which in the opinion of the investigator would compromise
the patient's ability to complete the study, or would interfere with the evaluation
of the efficacy and safety of the study treatment

- lung disease requiring systemic steroids in doses of >10 mg prednisolone (or
equivalent dose of other steroid)

- previous allogeneic or organ transplant

- active or history of autoimmune disease or immune deficiency, including, but not
limited to myasthenia gravis, myositis, autoimmune hepatitis, systemic lupus
erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, antiphospholipid
antibody syndrome, Wegener granulomatosis, Sj?gren syndrome, Guillain-Barr?
syndrome, or multiple sclerosis

- history of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia (e.g., bronchiolitis
obliterans), drug-induced pneumonitis, or idiopathic pneumonitis, or evidence of
active pneumonitis on screening chest computed tomography (CT) scan

- live vaccine administered in the last 30 days

- active infection requiring IV antibiotics

- active viral hepatitis or HIV-positive

- conditions - medical, social, psychological - which could prevent adequate
information and follow-up

- clinically active cancer other than SCLC with the exception of malignancies with a
negligible risk of metastases or death (e.g. 5-years OS rate of >90%), such as
adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non-melanoma skin carcinoma,
localized prostate cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ, or stage I uterine cancer.
Hormonal therapy for non-metastatic prostate or breast cancer is allowed.

- pregnant or lactating women (ICTRP)
