Details and patient eligibility

About

This is a single-arm study of daratumumab in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with an STK11/LKB1 mutation. Patients will have received previous standard of care treatment including chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapy. Patients will be treated with the standard subcutaneous dosing of daratumumab (weekly for 8 administrations, then every 2 weeks for 8 administrations then every 4 weeks until progression). All follow-up visits and imaging will be performed as per standard of care. This is a signal finding study and an overall response rate ≥20% is considered clinically meaningful.

Enrollment: 14 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 100 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Participant must be ≥ 18 years of age and satisfy the legal age of consent in the jurisdiction in which the study is being conducted.

• Participant must have histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC that is metastatic or unresectable.

• Participants must have either progressed after prior immunotherapy with a PD-(L)1 inhibitor, platinum doublet chemotherapy and standard of care targeted therapy (if presence of an activating mutation is identified) for metastatic disease, be ineligible for, or have refused all therapeutic options. In cases where participants refuse currently available therapeutic options, this must be documented in the study records.

• Participants must have previously identified STK11/LKB1 mutation (identified locally in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified laboratory [or equivalent])

• Participant must have organ and bone marrow function as follows:

  • Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL
  • Absolute blood neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5 x 109 /L
  • Platelets ≥75 x 109 /L
  • Aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤3 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Total bilirubin =1.5 x ULN; participants with Gilbert's syndrome can enroll if conjugated bilirubin is within normal limits.
  • Serum creatinine <1.5 x ULN or if available, calculated or measured creatinine clearance; >50 mL/min/1.73 m2

• Before enrollment, a woman must be either:

  • Not of childbearing potential: postmenopausal (>45 years of age with amenorrhea for at least 12 months); permanently sterilized (eg, bilateral tubal occlusion [which includes tubal ligation procedures as consistent with local regulations], hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy); or otherwise be incapable of pregnancy,
  • Of childbearing potential and practicing a highly effective method(s) of birth control consistent with local regulations regarding the use of birth control methods for participants participating in clinical studies, described as follows: practicing true abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant), which is defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of the study, including up to 6 months after the last dose of study drug is given; OR have a sole partner who is vasectomized; OR practicing 2 methods of contraception, including one highly effective method (ie, established use of oral, injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception; placement of an intrauterine device [IUD] or intrauterine system [IUS]), AND, a second method, (eg, condom with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository or occlusive cap [diaphragm or cervical/vault caps] with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository).
  • Note: If the childbearing potential changes after start of the study (eg, woman who is not heterosexually active becomes active, postmenopausal woman experiences menarche) the woman must begin a highly effective method of birth control, as described above.

• A woman of childbearing potential must have a negative serum (β-human chorionic gonadotropin [β-hCG]) at Screening and a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 24 hours before the first dose of study drug.

• A woman must agree not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the purposes of assisted reproduction during the study and for 6 months after receiving the last dose of study drug.

• A man who is sexually active with a woman of childbearing potential must agree to use a condom and his partner must also be practicing a highly effective method of contraception (ie.. established use of oral, injected or implanted hormonal methods of contraception; placement of an IUD or IUS). If the participant is vasectomized, he must still use a condom, but his female partner is not required to use contraception. The participant must also not donate sperm during the study and for 6 months after receiving the last dose of study drug.

• Participant must be willing and able to adhere to the prohibitions and restrictions specified in this protocol, including the agreement by both male and female participants to continue contraception throughout the study and through 6 months after the last dose of study drug.

• Each participant must sign an informed consent form (ICF) indicating that he or she understands the study's purpose and the procedures required for the study and is willing to participate in the study, including the requirement to provide information during the Follow-up period.

• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1.

Exclusion criteria

An individual who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study:

• Participant has uncontrolled inter-current illness, including but not limited to poorly controlled hypertension or diabetes, ongoing or active systemic infection (ie, has discontinued all antibiotics for at least one week prior to first dose of study drug), diagnosed or suspected viral infection (except for HIV), or psychiatric illness/social situation that would limit compliance with study requirements, including ability to self-care for anticipated toxicities (eg. rash or paronychia).

• Participants with medical conditions requiring chronic continuous oxygen therapy are excluded.

• Participants with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with grade ≥3 breathlessness on the modified medical research council (mMRC) dyspnea scale are excluded.

• Have known moderate or severe persistent asthma within the past 2 years, or current uncontrolled asthma of any classification.

  • Diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug, or any of the following within 6 months prior to the first dose of study drug: myocardial infarction, unstable angina, stroke, transient ischemic attack, coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft, or any acute coronary syndrome. Clinically non-significant thrombosis, such as non-obstructive catheter-associated clots, are not exclusionary.
  • Prolonged QTcF interval >480 msec or clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia or electrophysiologic disease (eg, placement of implantable cardioverter defibrillator or atrial fibrillation with uncontrolled rate). Note: Participants with cardiac pacemakers who are clinically stable are eligible.

For agents with long half-lives, the maximum required time since last dose is 4 weeks. Toxicities from previous anticancer therapies should have resolved to baseline levels or to Grade 1 or less, (except for alopecia [any grade], Grade ≤2 peripheral neuropathy, and Grade <2 hypothyroidism stable on hormone replacement). Autoimmune toxicities from previous immunotherapy must be fully resolved to baseline levels.

Those who are PCR positive will be excluded. EXCEPTION: Subjects with serologic findings suggestive of HBV vaccination (anti-HBs positivity as the only serologic marker) AND a known history of prior HBV vaccination, do not need to be tested for HBV DNA by PCR.
  • Positive hepatitis C antibody (anti-HCV). Note: Participants with a prior history of HCV, who have completed antiviral treatment and have a sustained virologic response, defined as aviremia at least 12 weeks after completion of antiviral therapy are eligible. Patients who completed treatment for hepatitis C at least 6 months prior to screening and have no detectable circulating HCV during screening may participate in the study.
