Background summary
Worldwide, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death with an estimated
1.8 million deaths in 20201. Approximately 84% of patients with lung cancer
have NSCLC and about 60% of them have distant metastases by the time of
diagnosis (stage IV).
Substantial improvements in general understanding of disease biology,
application of biomarkers, and refinements in treatment have led to remarkable
progress and transformed outcomes for many patients. Yet, as the majority of
patients unfortunately are metastatic upon diagnosis, the cure rates are low
and all stages are at a high risk of relapse and progression despite modern
therapy.
TTFields are a non-invasive treatment for solid tumors that is well tolerated
and has been approved for the treatment of recurrent and newly diagnosed
glioblastoma (GBM) and for unresectable malignant pleural mesothelioma by the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and has obtained a CE mark in Europe for the
same indication.
TTFields are delivered to the tumor site via a portable medical device that
consists of a field generator and arrays that are placed on the patient*s skin.
TTFields target cancer cells via multiple mechanisms, disrupting processes
important for cancer cells (e.g. division and movement), which can ultimately
lead to cell death over time. Additionally, TTFields have been shown to
enhance antitumor immune responses.
The ability of TTFields to disrupt multiple processes in cancer cells
highlights the potential of TTFields to be used with existing cancer therapies.
The magnitude of the anticancer effects of TTFields is dependent on the
frequency, intensity, time, and direction of TTFields delivery, and can be
modified to target a diverse range of solid tumors.
Study objective
To test the effectiveness and safety of TTFields, delivered using the
NovoTTF-200T device, concomitant with pembrolizumab in subjects with metastatic
NSCLC previously treated with a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor and platinum-based
chemotherapy
Study design
Pilot, single-arm, open-label, multi-center study evaluating TTFields therapy
concomitant with pembrolizumab in subjects with metastatic NSCLC whose tumors
express PD-L1 (TPS >=1%), who received prior PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor and
platinum-based chemotherapy.
The number of subjects with squamous histology will be capped to a maximum of
25 (36%) subjects
Intervention
Mild to moderate dermatitis is the most common adverse event seen in subjects
treated with the NovoTTF-200T Treatment Kit. In order
to prevent and treat this condition, prophylaxis and intervention
recommendations are described in appendix 2 of the study protocol.
Study burden and risks
- The study takes a total of approximately 2 years for patients.
- Additional hospital visits, additional physical tests, including a pregnancy
test.
-Possible inconveniences and risks associated with the research procedures:
• Blood samples: Taking blood may cause faintness and/or swelling, pain,
redness, bruising, bleeding or infection (infection occurs
rare) at the site where the needle is inserted.
• Scans: Skin irritation is very rare, but can occur due to the gel used.

6. Diagnosis of radiological progression while on or after first platinum-based
systemic therapy administered for advanced or metastatic disease.
Subjects should not receive any systemic therapy after PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitor +
platinum failure before enrollment into the study. Maintenance therapy after
platinum-based therapy and prior to progression is allowed. Sequence or
combination of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor and platinum-based therapy is acceptable.
7. Subjects must have received one line of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy for
advanced or metastatic NSCLC. PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor may have been given alone or
in combination with other therapy.
8. Subjects who received PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor for advanced disease, must have
had a best response on PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor of stable disease, partial response
or complete response (in the opinion of the treating physician).
9. Subjects must have experienced disease progression (in the opinion of the
treating physician) more than (>) 84 days following cycle 1 day 1 of their most
recent PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy. Patients whose most recent line of therapy
was PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor monotherapy must have also experienced disease
progression during or after prior platinum-based therapy.
10. Subject must have a CT with IV contrast or MRI with IV gadolinium scan of
the brain to evaluate for central nervous system (CNS) disease within 28 days
prior to study enrollment.
11. Adequate hematologic and end-organ function, defined by the following
laboratory test results, obtained within 14 days prior to study enrollment:
I. ANC >= 1.5 x 109/L (1,500/µL) without granulocyte colony-stimulating factor
support
II. Platelet count >= 100 x 109/L (100,000/µL) without transfusion
III. Hemoglobin >= 90 g/L (9 g/dL)
Subjects may be transfused to meet this criterion.
IV. AST, ALT <=2.5 × ULN (<=5 × ULN for subjects with liver metastases)
V. Bilirubin <= 1.5x ULN
VI. Calculated creatinine clearance* (CrCl) >= 15 mL/min
For subjects not receiving therapeutic anticoagulation: INR or aPTT <= 1.5 x ULN
(unless subject is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as INR or aPTT is
within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants).
12. A female subject is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant, not
breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:
a. Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP)
b. A WOCBP who agrees to use two adequate barrier methods or a barrier method
plus a hormonal method during the treatment period and for at least 120 days
after the last dose of study therapy. Such methods of contraception, or true
abstinence from heterosexual activity, when this is in line with the preferred
and usual lifestyle of the subject, are required (periodic abstinence, e.g.,
calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods and withdrawal are
not acceptable methods of contraception).
13. If male subject with a female partner(s) of child-bearing potential, must
agree to use an effective contraception method based on the recommendation of
the investigator or a gynecologist, starting with the first dose of study
therapy through 120 days after the last dose of study therapy. Males with
pregnant partners must agree to use a condom; no additional method of
contraception is required for the pregnant partner.
Note: Abstinence is acceptable if this is the usual lifestyle and preferred
contraception for the subject.
14. Able to operate the NovoTTF-200T device independently or with the help of a
caregiver.
*Creatinine Clearance should be calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault Method

excluded from study enrollment and participation:
1. Mixed small cell and NSCLC histology.
2. Subject must not have leptomeningeal disease or spinal cord compression.
3. Subject must not have brain metastases unless: (1) metastases have been

with atrial fibrillation or flutter controlled by medication are not excluded
from participation in the study.
c. Any serious underlying medical condition (including active infection) that
would impair the ability of the subject to receive protocol therapy.
d. History of any psychiatric condition that might impair the subject*s ability
to understand or comply with the requirements of the study or to provide
consent.
