Primary outcome measures

Change in ctDNA Level Following Chemotherapy

Time frame: 12 weeks

Participants in Cohort 1 MRD+ will be assessed for ctDNA levels at baseline and end of treatment, expected to be 4 cycles of 3 weeks per cycle (defined as ctDNA evaluable set or ctDES). The outcome will be assessed as the number of participants with a ≥ 3 fold decrease in ctDNA level, a number without dispersion.

Who can participate

This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.

Inclusion criteria

  • Must be receiving consolidation durvalumab following completion of radiation and chemotherapy, and less than 32 weeks has elapsed from their first dose of durvalumab. (Patients may sign consent for study before start of durvalumab, but confirm eligibility and enroll only after first dose of durvalumab is received).

  • Aged 18 years or older
  • Weight \> 30kg

  • Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL (5.59 mmol/L)
  • Measured creatinine clearance \> 40 mL/min, by either 24 hour urine collection or the Cockcroft Gault formula Males: Mass(kg) x (140-Age) / 72 x serum creatinine (mg/dL) Females: Mass(kg) x (140-Age) x 0.85 / 72 x serum creatinine (mg/dL)
  • Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x 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 evidence of hemolysis or hepatic pathology) who will be allowed in consultation with their physician.
  • aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (SGOT)/Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) unless liver metastases are present, in which case it must be ≤ 5 x ULN

Systemic steroid administration required to manage toxicities arising from radiation therapy delivered as part of the chemoradiation therapy for locally advanced NSCLC is allowed. 7\. Any unresolved toxicity CTCAE \> Grade 2 from the prior chemoradiation therapy with the exception of alopecia, vitiligo, and the laboratory values defined in the inclusion criteria.
  • Subjects with Grade ≥ 2 neuropathy will be evaluated on a case by case basis after consultation with the Protocol Director / Principal Investigator
  • Subjects with irreversible toxicity that is not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by treatment with durvalumab may be included (ie, hearing loss) only after consultation with the Protocol Director / Principal Investigator. 8\. Any prior Grade ≥ 3 immune related adverse event (irAE) while receiving any previous immunotherapy agent, or any unresolved irAE \> Grade 1) that may limit subject from continuing durvalumab during the study 9\. Recent major surgery within 4 weeks prior to entry into the study (excluding the placement of vascular access) that would prevent administration of study drug. 10\. Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders which is likely to limit the subjects ability to continue durvalumab on the study (including inflammatory bowel disease \[eg, colitis or Crohn's disease\], diverticulitis \[with the exception of diverticulosis\], systemic lupus erythematosus, Sarcoidosis syndrome, or Wegener syndrome \[granulomatosis with polyangiitis; Graves' disease; rheumatoid arthritis; hypophysitis; uveitis; etc\]). Those with history of autoimmune or inflammatory disorders who are currently tolerating durvalumab may be eligible to participate with approval from the PI.

  • Vitiligo or alopecia
  • Hypothyroidism (eg, following Hashimoto syndrome) stable on hormone replacement
  • Chronic skin condition not requiring systemic therapy

  • Grade 3 or higher clinically significant infection
  • Active known Hepatitis B \[known positive results for HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) within 2 months prior to enrollment\]. EXCEPTION: Subjects with a past or resolved HBV infection, defined as the presence of hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) and absence of HBsAg are eligible
  • Active known Hepatitis C (HCV). EXCEPTION: Subjects positive for HCV antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for HCV RNA
  • Active known tuberculosis infection (clinical evaluation that may include clinical history, physical examination and radiographic findings, or tuberculosis testing in line with local practice).
  • Active known HIV infection 15\. Receipt of live attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of concurrent chemotherapy and durvalumab. Note: Subjects, if enrolled, should not receive live vaccine through 30 days after the last dose of chemotherapy concurrent with durvalumab. 16\. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including but not limited to:
  • Ongoing or active infection
  • Symptomatic congestive heart failure
  • Uncontrolled hypertension
  • Unstable angina pectoris
  • Cardiac arrhythmia
  • Interstitial lung disease
  • Serious chronic gastrointestinal conditions associated with diarrhea
  • Psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirement, substantially increase risk of incurring AEs or compromise the ability of the subject to give written informed consent. 17\.

Frequently asked questions

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
