COMBINATORY IMMUNOTHERAPY-2 (COM-IT-2) A phase 2 randomised open two-arm study to assess the tolerability and efficacy of immunotherapy combined with extensive radiotherapyfor the treatment of stage IV non-small cell lung cancer
EU CTIS ID: 2023-510089-28-00
What this study is testing
The primary objective is to evaluate the acute toxicity (<3 months) and subacute toxicity (3-6 months) of immunotherapy combined with extensive radiotherapy in patients with stage IV NSCLC.

Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- • Stage IV NSCLC with clinical indication of starting systemic treatment with immunotherapy alone or in combination with chemotherapy (first or later lines)
- Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) should use a highly effective method during the treatment period and for at least 5 months after the last dose of immunotherapy to avoid pregnancy. Methods considered as highly effective birth control methods include combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) or progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, intravaginal, injectable, implantable or transdermal), intrauterine device (including hormone-releasing), male condom, bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomised partner or sexual abstinence
- Able to understand oral and written information and able to answer questionnaires
- • Available core or excisional biopsy of a tumour lesion
- • Measurable disease according to RECIST criteria (RECIST 1.1)
- • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2
You likely can't join if
- • Indication for radiotherapy other than stereotactic radiosurgery of brain metastases
- Women who are not postmenopausal (postmenopausal defined as ≥ 12 months of non-drug-induced amenorrhea) or surgically sterile must have a negative serum pregnancy test result within 2 weeks prior to initiation of study drug. Positive test is exclusion criterion.
- Known hypersensitivity to the immunotherapy regimen planned for the patient the investigational product
- Live vaccine administered last 30 days, active infection requiring IV antibiotics, active viral hepatitis or HIV
- Previous allogenic or organ transplant
- Any reason why, in the opinion of the investigator, the patient should not participate

- • Indication for radiotherapy other than stereotactic radiosurgery of brain metastases
- Women who are not postmenopausal (postmenopausal defined as ≥ 12 months of non-drug-induced amenorrhea) or surgically sterile must have a negative serum pregnancy test result within 2 weeks prior to initiation of study drug. Positive test is exclusion criterion.

- Previous allogenic or organ transplant
- Any reason why, in the opinion of the investigator, the patient should not participate
- Pregnancy or lactation
- Treatment with any investigational medicinal product (IMP) that may interfere with the study treatment, within 2 weeks prior to first administration of study drug.
- Disease suitable for curative salvage surgery
- • Significant cardiac, pulmonary or other medical illness that would limit activity or survival
- • Previous treatment with PD1/PDL-1 inhibitor
- • Radiotherapy given within the last 4 weeks prior to inclusion
- • History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia (e.g., bronchiolitis obliterans), drug-induced pneumonitis, or idiopathic pneumonitis, or evidence of active pneumonitis on screening chest computed tomography (CT) scan
- • Patients with EGFR-mutation or ALK-translocation not previously treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitor
- • Patients who test positive for hepatitis B, C or HIV
- • Known larger active brain metastases that cannot be treated with stereotactic radiotherapy. Patients with stable/previously treated brain metastases can be included. Patients with several smaller brain metastases may be included if the larger metastases are treated with stereotactic radiotherapy
- • Diagnosis of immunodeficiency or medical condition requiring high doses (>20 mg prednisolone daily) of systemic steroids or other forms of immunosuppressive therapy
