Safety and Tolerability of LDRT Plus Concurrent Partial SBRT and Tislelizumab in Patients With Bulky Tumors

Safety and Tolerability of Low Dose Radiotherapy Plus Concurrent Partial Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (Eclipse-RT) and Tislelizumab in Patients With Bulky Tumors

This is a 3+3 dose escalation phase I study which aims to evaluate the safety and tolerability of low dose radiotherapy (LDRT) plus concurrent partial Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SBRT) and Tislelizumab in Patients with bulky tumors who have failed standard therapy. At least 9 participants will be enrolled in this study.

This is 3+3 escalation phase I study which will be conducted in West China Hospital.

Step A: A dose escalation of low dose radiotherapy (LDRT) and partial SBRT, at least 3 patients per cohort (a total of at least 9 patients) will be enrolled to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and recommended dose for expansion (RDE) for lung LDRT and partial SBRT.

All eligible patients will receive LDRT + partial SBRT and Tislelizumab at different dose levels (described as below). Tislelizumab will be given at 200mg as recommended in the instruction manual every 3 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicities, the patient withdraws informed consent, or Tislelizumab reaches a maximum of up to 24 months.

Patients in the dose escalation will receive LDRT + partial SBRT at 3 cohorts with increasing dose levels: 6 Gy (2 Gy/f) + 24 Gy (8 Gy/f); 6 Gy (2 Gy/f) + 30 Gy (10 Gy/f); 6 Gy (2 Gy/f) + 45 Gy (15 Gy/f).

Step B: A dose expansion of LDRT + partial SBRT A cohort of 15 patients will receive lung LDRT and partial SBRT at the RDE determined during the dose-escalation phase in combination with PD-1 inhibitors to obtain additional safety and response data.

Inclusion Criteria:
