Poor accrual

This study is designed to determine if combining consolidative radiation therapy (RT) using a hypofractionated regimen (hfRT) (2 fractions) for boosting the residual primary lung cancer with adjuvant anti-PD-L1 therapy concurrently is safe and will provide better tumor control locoregionally and distantly than either modality alone.

For safety reasons, consolidative hfRT will start from 6.5Gy x 2 fractions and dose escalate to 10Gy x 2 fractions in a 3+3 design. Consolidative hfRT will be delivered one to two months after finishing definitive chemoradiation therapy (dCRT) and concurrently with adjuvant anti-PD-L1 therapy using durvalumab in stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

At the final determined consolidative hfRT dose level, a total of thirty-two subjects with pathologically documented stage III NSCLC treated with dCRT will be enrolled for data analyses.

Follow-up assessments will occur every 3 months during durvalumab therapy for the first two years, then every 4-6 months after 2 years from study registration until confirmed disease progression or death. Primary endpoints include the safety of boost hfRT and concurrent anti-PD-L1 therapy adjuvantly following dCRT, and the 12-month progression-free survival to compare with historical results.

   2. Patients with irreversible toxicity not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by treatment with durvalumab may be included only after consultation with the Study Physician. For example, post-operative neurological deficits for previous benign brain tumors, urinary incontinence from radical prostectomy for prostate cancer, peripheral neuropathy from chemotherapy for breast cancer.

9. Any concurrent chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biologic, or hormonal therapy for cancer treatment. Concurrent use of hormonal therapy for non-cancer-related conditions (e.g., hormone replacement therapy) is acceptable.
