Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Capable of giving signed informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the ICF and in this protocol.\n- Provision of signed and dated, written ICF prior to any mandatory study specific procedures, sampling, and analyses\n- 18 years or older at the time of signing the ICF\n- Histologically- or cytologically-documented NSCLC with locally-advanced, unresectable Stage III disease (according to the IASLC Staging Manual Version 8 [IASLC 2016]). Positron emission tomography (PET)/CT, MRI of the brain, and endobronchial ultrasound with biopsy are highly encouraged at diagnosis\n- Patients with measurable disease assessed at baseline by CT/MRI will be entered in this study\n- Must have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks at enrolment\n- WHO/ECOG PS 0-1\n- Patient not eligible for concurrent chemo radiation according to investigator assessment\n- Adequate organ and marrow function at enrolment as defined below. These parameters should be achieved without augmentation by growth factors, transfusions, or infusions within 28 days of screening unless required for SoC: (a) Haemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL; (b) Absolute neutrophil count >1.0 × 10^9/L; (c) Platelet count >75 × 10^9/L; (d) Serum bilirubin ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN). This will not apply to patients with confirmed Gilbert’s syndrome, who will be allowed in consultation with their physician. (e) Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤2.5 × ULN. (f) Measured creatinine clearance >40 mL/min or calculated creatinine clearance >40 mL/min as determined by Cockcroft-Gault (using actual body weight) (Cockcroft and Gault 1976). Males: Creatinine clearance (mL/min) = [Weight (kg) × (140 - Age)] / 72 × serum creatinine (mg/dL) Females: Creatinine clearance (mL/min) = [Weight (kg) × (140 - Age) × 0.85] / 72 × serum creatinine (mg/dL)\n- Body weight >30 kg at enrollment\n- Male or female\n- Evidence of post-menopausal status, or negative urinary or serum pregnancy test for female premenopausal patients. Women will be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. Women sexually active in a way that could result in pregnancy, subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use 2 contraception methods (including 1 highly effective) during the study (Appendix 4) and for 3 months (12 weeks) after the last dose of Durvalumab. Subjects who can father children and have partners of childbearing potential must agree to use 2 contraception methods during the study (Appendix 4).. Subjects born male who are sexually active with a pregnant or breastfeeding person must use contraceptives outlined in Appendix 4 to prevent secondary exposure to seminal fluid. The following age-specific requirements apply: (a) Women <50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments and if they have luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone levels in the post-menopausal range for the institution or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy). (b) Women ≥50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments, had radiation-induced menopause with last menses >1 year ago, had chemotherapy-induced menopause with last menses >1 year ago, or underwent surgical sterilization (bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or hysterectomy)"}

(c) Any chronic skin condition that does not require systemic therapy. (d) Patients without active disease in the last 5 years at enrolment may be included but only after consultation with the Study Physician. (e) Patients with celiac disease controlled by diet alone\n- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, ILD, serious chronic GI conditions associated with diarrhoea, 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.\n- History of another primary malignancy except for: (a) Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no known active disease ≥5 years before the first dose of IP and of low potential risk for recurrence. (b) Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without evidence of disease. (c) Adequately treated carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease\n- History of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis\n- History of active primary immunodeficiency\n- Active infection including hepatitis B (known positive hepatitis B surface antigen [HbsAg] result), hepatitis C virus (HCV), or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (positive HIV 1/2 antibodies). Patients with a past or resolved hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (defined as the presence of hepatitis B core antibody [anti-HBc] and absence of HbsAg) are eligible. Patients positive for hepatitis C antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA)\n- Any unresolved toxicity of NCI CTCAE Grade ≥2 from previous anticancer therapy with the exception of alopecia, vitiligo, and the laboratory values defined in the inclusion criteria. (a) Patients with Grade ≥2 neuropathy will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis after consultation with the Study Physician. (b) Patients with irreversible toxicity not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by treatment with durvalumab may be included only after consultation with the Study Physician\n- Known allergy or hypersensitivity to durvalumab or any of the IP excipients\n- Prior chemo-radiotherapy for lung cancer.

The following are exceptions to this criterion: (a) Intranasal, inhaled, topical steroids, or local steroid injections (eg, intra articular injection); (b) Systemic corticosteroids at physiologic doses not to exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone or its equivalent; (c) Steroids as premedication for hypersensitivity reactions (eg, CT scan premedication)\n- Previous IP assignment in the present study\n- Concurrent enrollment in another clinical study, unless it is an observational (non interventional) clinical study or the follow-up period of an interventional study\n- Participation in another clinical study with an IP during the 4 weeks prior to the first IP dose administration\n- Prior randomization or treatment in a previous durvalumab clinical study regardless of treatment arm assignment.\n- Female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding or male or female patients of reproductive potential who are not willing to employ effective birth control from screening to 90 days after the last dose of IP (Appendix 4)\n- Judgment by the Investigator that the patient is unsuitable to participate in the study and the patient is unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions, and requirements"}
