MOnaliZumab in Combination With durvAlumab (MEDI4736) Plus Platinum-based chemotheRapy for First-line Treatment of Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer

(MOZART)

What this study is about

The study treatment will consist of a platinum drug (carboplatin or cisplatin per investigator's choice) plus etoposide plus durvalumab plus monalizumab every 3 weeks for 4 cycles. After 4 cycles, subjects will continue maintenance treatment with durvalumab plus monalizumab every 4 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, decision to stop study treatment, or withdrawal of consent.

View original scientific description

The study treatment will consist of a platinum drug (carboplatin or cisplatin per investigator's choice) plus etoposide plus durvalumab plus monalizumab every 3 weeks for 4 cycles. After 4 cycles, subjects will continue maintenance treatment with durvalumab plus monalizumab every 4 weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, decision to stop study treatment, or withdrawal of consent.

Time frame: 24 Months

Safety and tolerability for the extensive stage cohort will be assessed by the grading of adverse events based on Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.

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.

  • Patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated. Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. For patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, the HCV viral load must be undetectable through PCR to be eligible for this trial. Testing is not required for screening unless mandated by local authorities. Local guidelines for testing should be followed. Extensive Stage Specific Inclusion Criteria:
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of small cell lung cancer: \- Extensive disease (American Joint Committee on Cancer Stage (8th edition) IV SCLC \[T any, N any, M1 a/b\]), OR T3-4 disease due to multiple lung nodules that are too extensive or have tumor/nodal volume that is too large to be encompassed in a tolerable radiation plan.
  • No prior systemic therapy for small-cell lung cancer, with the following exceptions: Up to one cycle of platinum doublet chemotherapy with or without durvalumab is allowed up to 4 weeks prior to registration on this study. Patients with irreversible toxicity not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by treatment with durvalumab and monalizumab may be included only after consultation with the sponsor-investigator. Patients should not have received Trilaciclib.

  • Has received platinum (cis- or carboplatin) and etoposide chemotherapy (4 cycles preferred; 3 cycles allowed if disease control is achieved and no additional benefit is expected with an additional cycle of chemotherapy in the opinion of the investigator) administered concurrently with radiation (60-66Gy daily or 45Gy BID). Radiation should have started no later than end of cycle 2 of chemotherapy.
  • Non-progressive disease following completion of chemo-radiation.
  • No evidence of brain metastasis. NOTE: PCI is allowed per investigator's discretion.
  • Ability to start study treatment within 56 days of completing chemo-radiation, counting from whichever ends later
  • ECOG Performance Status of 0-1.

Exclusion criteria

  • Active infection requiring intravenous antibiotic therapy.
  • Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or any of the study drug excipients.

  • History of active primary immunodeficiency.
  • Known to have tested positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (positive HIV 1/2 antibodies) or active tuberculosis infection (clinical evaluation that may include clinical history, physical examination and radiographic findings, or tuberculosis testing in line with local practice).
  • Presence of neurologic paraneoplastic syndrome.
  • Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders (including inflammatory bowel disease \[e.g., ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease\], systemic lupus erythematosus, sarcoidosis, Wegener syndrome \[granulomatosis with polyangiitis\], rheumatoid arthritis, hypophysitis, uveitis, etc).

  • 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, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirement, substantially increase risk of incurring AEs or compromise the ability of the patient to give written informed consent.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding (NOTE: breast milk cannot be stored for future use while the mother is being treated on study).
  • Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment has the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen, per investigator discretion.

  • Treatment with any investigational drug within 28 days prior to registration or concurrent enrolment in another clinical study, unless observational in nature.
  • Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 7 days before the first dose of monalizumab and durvalumab (applicable to 'on study' durvalumab for MOZART-ES cohort who may have received prior one dose of durvalumab). The following are exceptions to this criterion:
  • Intranasal, inhaled, topical steroids, or local steroid injections (e.g., intra articular injection)
  • Systemic corticosteroids at physiologic doses not to exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone or its equivalent
  • Steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., CT scan premedication), and for prevention of chemotherapy induced nausea/vomiting per institutional standards.
  • Specific for MOZART-ES cohort: Patients who have received prior one dose of durvalumab along with chemotherapy:
  • Must not have experienced a toxicity that led to permanent discontinuation of prior immunotherapy.
  • Must not have experienced a ≥Grade 3 immune related AE or an immune related neurologic or ocular AE of any grade while receiving prior immunotherapy. NOTE: Patients with endocrine AE of ≤ Grade 2 are permitted to enroll if they are stably maintained on appropriate replacement therapy and are asymptomatic.
  • Must not have required the use of additional immunosuppression other than corticosteroids for the management of an AE and not currently require maintenance doses of \> 10 mg prednisone or equivalent per day.

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.
