Tremelimumab and Durvalumab With or Without Radiation Therapy in Patients With Relapsed Small Cell Lung Cancer

Inclusion Criteria:

Written informed consent and any locally-required authorization (e.g.,) obtained from the subject prior to performing any protocol-related procedures, including screening evaluations
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1 or 2
Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 10⁹/L (≥ 1500 per mm³)
Platelet count ≥ 100 x 10⁹/L (≥ 100,000 per mm³)
Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN); this will not apply to subjects with confirmed Gilbert's syndrome (persistent or recurrent hyperbilirubinemia that is predominantly unconjugated in the absence of hemolysis or hepatic pathology), who will be allowed only in consultation with their physician
Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT]) ≤ 2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal unless liver metastases are present, in which case it must be ≤ 5 x ULN
Serum creatinine clearance (CL) > 40 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault formula or by 24-hour urine collection for determination of creatinine clearance
Female subjects must either be of non-reproductive potential (i.e., post-menopausal by history: ≥ 60 years old and no menses for ≥ 1 year without an alternative medical cause; OR history of hysterectomy, OR history of bilateral tubal ligation, OR history of bilateral oophorectomy) or must have a negative serum pregnancy upon study entry
Subject is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations including follow up
Patients must have baseline evaluations performed prior to the first dose of study drug and must meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria
Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed small cell lung cancer
Patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion (excluding the lesion for XRT) that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded for non-nodal lesions and short axis for nodal lesions) as > 20 mm with conventional techniques or as > 10 mm with spiral computed tomography (CT) scan
Patient must have failed or found to be intolerant of standard frontline platinum-based regimens and must not have received > 2 prior lines of therapy (nota bene [NB]: retreatment with a platinum-based doublet for sensitive relapse counts as another line therapy; however substitution of cisplatin with carboplatin or vice versa due to toxicity does not count as a separate regimen)
Negative serum pregnancy test within 48 hours before starting study treatment in women with childbearing potential
Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document

Exclusion Criteria:

Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study (applies to both AstraZeneca staff and/or staff at the study site)
Previous enrollment or randomization in the present study
Treatment with an investigational product during the last 2 weeks
Any previous treatment with a PD1 or PD-L1 inhibitor, including durvalumab or an anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA4), including tremelimumab
Receipt of the last dose of anti-cancer therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy, biologic therapy, tumor embolization, monoclonal antibodies, other investigational agent) ≤ 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug (≤ 7 days or four half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to the first dose of study drug for subjects who have received prior tyrosine kinase inhibitors [TKIs] [e.g., erlotinib, gefitinib and crizotinib] and within 6 weeks for nitrosourea or mitomycin C)
Mean QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) ≥ 470 ms calculated from 3 electrocardiograms (ECGs) using Fredericia's Correction
Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 28 days before the first dose of durvalumab or tremelimumab, with the exceptions of intranasal and inhaled corticosteroids or systemic corticosteroids at physiological doses, which are not to exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone, or an equivalent corticosteroid
Any unresolved toxicity (> Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE] grade 2) from previous anti-cancer therapy; subjects with irreversible toxicity that is not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by the investigational product may be included (e.g., hearing loss, peripherally neuropathy)
Any prior grade ≥ 3 immune-related adverse event (irAE) while receiving any previous immunotherapy agent, or any unresolved irAE > grade 1
Active or prior documented autoimmune disease within the past 2 years; NOTE: subjects with vitiligo, Grave's disease, or psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment (within the past 2 years) are not excluded
Active or prior documented inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis)
History of primary immunodeficiency
History of allogeneic organ transplant
History of hypersensitivity to durvalumab or any excipient
History of hypersensitivity to the combination or comparator agent
Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, active peptic ulcer disease or gastritis, active bleeding diatheses including any subject known to have evidence of acute or chronic hepatitis B, hepatitis C or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements or compromise the ability of the subject to give written informed consent
Known history of previous clinical diagnosis of tuberculosis
History of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis
Receipt of live attenuated vaccination within 30 days prior to study entry or within 30 days of receiving durvalumab or tremelimumab
Female subjects who are pregnant, breast-feeding or male or female patients of reproductive potential who are not employing an effective method of birth control
Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with evaluation of study treatment or interpretation of patient safety or study results
Symptomatic or uncontrolled brain metastases requiring concurrent treatment, inclusive of but not limited to surgery, radiation and/or corticosteroids
Subjects with uncontrolled seizures
Female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding or male or female patients of reproductive potential who are not willing to employ effective birth control from screening to 180 days after the last dose of durvalumab + tremelimumab combination therapy or 90 days after the last dose of durvalumab monotherapy, whichever is the longer time period
Patients receiving any other investigational agents for any reason or non-investigational agents administered for the purpose of controlling cancer growth (use of conventional external beam radiation therapy will be allowed during protocol therapy solely for palliation of localized painful lesions or bone lesions at risk of fracture provided the radiation field does not encompass any selected target lesions required for assessment)
