Abstract
Background
Cadonilimab is a first-in-class bispecific PD-1/CTLA-4 antibody. Serine/threonine kinase (STK11) mutation was shown to be related to low PD-L1 expression and objective response rate (ORR) in nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC), resulting in poor progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Herein, we hypothesized that combining cadonilimab with chemotherapy could enhance antitumor immunity and extend survival in these patients. Consequently, we designed this study to explore the clinical activity and safety of cadonilimab combined with chemotherapy in patients with advanced/metastatic NSCLC harboring STK11 alteration.
Trial design
This single-center, open-label, single-arm phase II trial is conducted at the first affiliated hospital of Guangzhou Medical University. Treatment-naïve advanced/metastatic NSCLC patients harboring STK11 mutation will be enrolled in this study. Eligible patients will receive either cadonilimab (10mg/kg on Day 1) plus pemetrexed (500 mg/m2) and carboplatin (AUC = 5) for nonsquamous NSCLC or abraxane (100 mg/m2) and carboplatin (AUC = 5) for squamous NSCLC for 4 cycles, followed by maintenance therapy (cadonilimab plus pemetrexed or abraxane). The treatment will be discontinued when disease progression, intolerability to cadonilimab, and/or chemotherapy occurs. Measurable lesions were assessed according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (1.1). The main endpoint is ORR and safety. Subordinate endpoints include PFS, disease control rate, and duration of response.
Results
The study commenced enrolment in September 2023, with preliminary findings regarding the primary endpoint anticipated by January 2025.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Lung Cancer is a peer-reviewed bimonthly journal that publishes original articles describing various aspects of clinical and translational research of lung cancer. Clinical Lung Cancer is devoted to articles on detection, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of lung cancer. The main emphasis is on recent scientific developments in all areas related to lung cancer. Specific areas of interest include clinical research and mechanistic approaches; drug sensitivity and resistance; gene and antisense therapy; pathology, markers, and prognostic indicators; chemoprevention strategies; multimodality therapy; and integration of various approaches.
