This is a phase II, single-arm, multicenter study to evaluate the activity and safety of durvalumab in combination with carboplatin or cisplatin plus etoposide in patients with treated ES-EPSCC.
All drugs will be administered intravenously. Induction treatment will be administered on a 21-day cycle for four cycles and will consist of:

|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| progression free survival (PFS) | To evaluate the preliminary efficacy in terms of 12 months progression free survival (PFS) of durvalumab in association with carboplatin or cisplatin and etoposide in first line patients affected by extensive stage EPSCC. PFS isdefined as the time from initiation of study treatment to the first occurrence of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. According to the results of the CASPIAN trial [18] in which was observed a 12-month progression-free survival rates of 5% (2.4-8.0) for patients that had received Platinum-etoposide, it is expected to detect an increasing of at least 10 percentage points (to 15%). | 12 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Objective Response Rate (ORR) | Activity of durvalumab in combination with carboplatin or cisplatin plus etoposide in patients with untreated extensive- stage extrapulmonary small cell lung cancer (EPSCC). Activity will be measured as Objective Response Rate (ORR), defined as the percentage of patients who attain complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to RECIST v1.1. | 12 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| biomarkers associated with sensitivity/resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors | To identify possible biomarkers associated with sensitivity/resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors, tumor samples from enrolled patients will undergo whole exome sequencing (WES) and gene expression profiling by using a 3' RNA Seq approach. For all the patients enrolled to investigate the occurrence of genetic alterations that might be associated with acquired resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors, blood samples will be collected by analyzing the circulating free DNA (cfDNA). To this end, plasma will be collected at baseline, prior to cycle 5, and at the end of treatment (progression of disease). The cfDNA will be analyzed by targeted sequencing panels. |
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Age ≥ 18 years on day of signing informed consent. 2. Written informed consent and any locally required authorization obtained from the patient/legal representative prior to performing any protocol-related procedures, including screening evaluations.
3. Histologically or cytologically confirmed extensive disease extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma.
4. Brain metastases; must be asymptomatic or treated and stable off steroids and anti-convulsant for at least 1 month prior to study treatment. Patients with suspected brain metastases at screening should have a CT/MRI of the brain prior to study entry. 5. No prior exposure to immune-mediated therapy, including durvalumab excluding therapeutic anticancer vaccines. 6. No prior exposure to chemotherapy for advance disease. 7. Performance status of 0 or 1 on the ECOG Performance Scale. 8. Life expectancy ≥12 weeks at enrollment (day 1). 9. Patients must be considered suitable to receive a platinum-based chemotherapy regimen as first-line treatment for ES-EPSCC. 10. Adequate organ and marrow function, all screening labs should be performed within 14 days of treatment initiation:
Haemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.0 × 109 /L
Platelet count ≥75 × 109/L
Serum bilirubin ≤1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN). <<This will not apply to patients 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.>>
AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) ≤2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal unless liver metastases are present, in which
case it must be ≤5x ULN 11. Measured creatinine clearance (CL) >40 mL/min or Calculated creatinine CL>40 mL/min by the Cockcroft- Gault formula. 12. Availability of an archived tumor tissue block at baseline. 13. Evidence of post-menopausal status or negative urinary or serum pregnancy test for female premenopausal patients. 14. At least 1 lesion, not previously irradiated, that can be accurately measured at baseline as ≥10 mm in the longest diameter (except lymph nodes, which must have a short axis ≥15 mm) with CT o MRI, suitable for repeated measurements as per RECIST 1.1 criteria. 15. Body weight >30 kg
Exclusion Criteria:
Subjects with active, known or suspected autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment (systemic steroids or immunosuppressive agents) prior 14 days before the first dose of durvalumab.
The following are exceptions to this criterion:
The following are exceptions to this criterion:
Patients with vitiligo or alopecia
Patients with hypothyroidism (eg, following Hashimoto syndrome) and stable on hormone replacement
Any chronic skin condition that does not require systemic therapy
Patients without active disease in the last 5 years may be included but only after consultation with the Study Physician
Patients with celiac disease controlled by diet alone
Patients, if enrolled, should not receive live vaccine whilst receiving the investigational product and up to 30 days after the last dose of investigational product.
