Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Safety Assessments:
89Zr-MEDI4736 will be administered using microdosing, i.e. patients will be
injected with 22.5 mg of MEDI4736 on 3 time points. Any toxicity suspected to
be associated with MEDI4736 will be reported in the presentation of safety
data. All toxicities associated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy will not be
listed.
Efficacy Assessments:
This is an exploratory imaging study of 89Zr-labeled MEDI4736 and therefore the
primary endpoint of this study is to assess 89Zr-MEDI4736 uptake in tumor
lesions at 3 different time points. The effect cCRT on 89Zr-MEDI4736 uptake in
tumor lesions, in malignant and non-malignant lymph nodes, and in the spleen
will be quantified. The efficacy of MEDI4736 will not be assessed.
Pharmacodynamic Assessments
The imaging data will be correlated to tumor PD-L1 expression.
Secondary outcome
Venous blood samples will be used for PK analysis. (Ir)reversible uptake of
89Zr-durvalumab (89Zr-MEDI4736) in normal organs and tumorous lesions will be
modelled according Patlak analysis.
Background summary
We hypothesize that concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT) sensitizes tumors to
durvalumab therapy (MEDI4736), an anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody, through
increase of PD-L1 expression on tumor cells and immune cells in tumor lesions,
in metastatic and non-metastatic lymph nodes and in the spleen. Therefore,
uptake of durvalumab in these organs will increase during cCRT.
To visualize the PD-L1 pathway, positron emission tomography (PET) will be
performed with the radiolabeled MEDI4736. Imaging with 89Zr-MEDI4736 allows for
non-invasive quantification of its direct target, the PD-L1 receptor on the
tumor cells and in immune cells, which is now the most important biomarker for
patient selection in current trials of anti-PD-(L)1 mAbs. As the technique is
non-invasive and images the whole body, it allows for serial measurements of
tumor uptake, as well as heterogeneity within and between tumor lesions.
Repeated 89Zr-durva-PET (89Zr-MEDI4736-PET) scans can be used to monitor these
changes, an approach which helps to understand the dynamics of durvalumab
(MEDI4736) uptake induced by cCRT.
Study objective
Primary Objectives:
* To study early (1 week after start of cCRT) and late changes (after finishing
cCRT) in durvalumab (MEDI4736) uptake in tumor and metastatic lymph nodes
during cCRT
* To study early and late changes in durvalumab (MEDI4736) uptake in immune
related organs (i.e. non-malignant lymph nodes and spleen) during cCRT
Secondary Objective(s):
* To study any correlations between baseline tumor PD-L1 expression (based on
immunohistochemistry) and the baseline uptake and changes in 89Zr-durvalumab
(89Zr-MEDI4736) uptake in tumor sites.
* To study (ir)reversible uptake of 89Zr-durvalumab (89Zr-MEDI4736) in normal
organs and tumorous lesions using Patlak analysis.
Study design
Single arm open label proof-of-concept (imaging) study.
Treatment procedure: All patients will undergo concurrent chemotherapy and
radiotherapy in accordance with Dutch national guidelines. Patients with a
non-squamous tumor will be treated using platinum/pemetrexed, and squamous
tumors using platinum/etoposide. Thoracic radiotherapy will be delivered
concurrent with the 1st of 2 cycles of chemotherapy in accordance with the
guidelines of the EORTC (De Ruysscher et al 2017), and dose-fractionation
schemes used will be as described in the guidelines of the ESMO (Eberhardt et
al 2015).
For patients with oligometastatic disease, local consolidation radiotherapy
will be allowed after the second 89Zr-durva-PET procedure.
Intervention
89Zr-durva-PET procedure: The PET tracer used will be 89Zr-durvalumab
(89Zr-MEDI4736). 89Zr-durva-PET procedures will be performed at baseline
(tracer injection 1-2 weeks prior to start of cCRT), 1 week after start of cCRT
(tracer injection on day 0 of cCRT) and after finishing cCRT (tracer injection
on the last fraction day of the cCRT regimen). PET imaging will be performed at
168hrs post-injection of 37 MBq 89Zr-durvalumab (89Zr-MEDI4736).
Optional: 3 patients can undergo 2x2 additional PET scans after administration
of the tracer, namely on days 2 and 5 post injection.
blood sampling: 4x7cc blood will be drawn per PET procedure (around the tracer
injection and the PET images); for the pts participating undergoing the
optional scans this is a total of 7x7cc per PET procedure (at week 0 and at
week 1) and 4x7cc during the last PET procedure
biopsy: optionally, a lymph node biopsy can be performed in patients with an
easily accessible lymph node in whom increased uptake of tracer can be seen on
the PET images
Study burden and risks
No pharmacological effect or toxicity is expected from PET scans with
non-therapeutic tracer doses. The amount of 89Z-MEDI4736 (22.5 mg) is far below
the MEDI4736 dose that is used in clinical studies and a pharmacological effect
is therefore not anticipated. The total amount of radiation exposure is
substantial, but immediate effects are not anticipated and risks associated
with delayed effects are relatively small. Patients do not derive benefit from
the PET scan results.
