IFCT-1802 SAVIMMUNE: Immunotherapy in Patient With Poor General Condition
EU CTIS ID: 2024-515943-44-00
What this study is testing
IFCT-1802 SAVIMMUNE phase 2 trial aims to study the safety and efficacy of a first-line therapy with anti-PD-L1 monoclonal DURVALUMAB antibody, in a subset of patient with PS 2-3, but highly PD-L1 expressing tumors, who are usually excluded from clinical trials, and for whom, thus, there is no recognized indication for immunotherapy. The hypothesis of this trial is that in such selected patients, tolerance of durvalumab would be acceptable, while its efficacy would rapidly improve general condition, resulting in significantly long survivals.

Subjects must be willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment schedule, and laboratory testing.

- Age 18-75 years.
- Measurable tumor disease by CT per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1. The radiological assessment has to be done within the timelines indicated.
- Life expectancy > 8 weeks according to the investigator opinion.
- Adequate biological functions: neutrophils ≥ 1500/mm3 ; platelets ≥ 75 000/mm3 ; Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL ; Creatinine Clearance > 40 mL/min , AST and ALT ≤ 2,5 ULN unless liver metastases are present, AST and ALT ≤ 5 x ULN, serum bilirubine ≤ 1.5 x ULN except for patients with proved, Gilbert syndrome (≤ 5 x ULN) or patients with hepatic metastases (≤ 3 x ULN).
You likely can't join if
- Pure or combined SCLC.
- Pre-existing interstitial lung.
- History of another primary malignancy except for : • Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no known active disease ≥2 years before the first dose of IP and of low potential risk for recurrence • Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without evidence of disease • Adequately treated carcinoma in situ without evidence of residual disease Patients with a prostate adenocarcinoma history within the previous 5 years could be included in case of localized prostate cancer.
- Living attenuated vaccine received within the 30 previous days.
- Received any other experimental treatment or participation to any other therapeutic clinical trial.
- Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the study drug or any of the study drug excipients.

- Other investigations detailed in Section 5 must have been performed within the timelines indicated.
- Protocol treatment is to begin within 7 days of patient inclusion.
- Evidence of post-menopausal status or negative urinary or serum pregnancy test for female pre-menopausal patients. Women will be considered post-menopausal if they have been amenorrheic for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. The following age-specific requirements apply: - 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). - Women ≥50 years of age would be considered post-menopausal if they have been aamenorrheic 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).
- Females of childbearing potential who are sexually active with a nonsterilized male partner or men who are sexually active with women of childbearing potential must use a highly effective method of contraception prior the first dose of investigational product, and must agree to continue using such precautions for 90 days after the final dose of investigational product. Periodic abstinence, the rhythm method, and the withdrawal method are not acceptable methods of contraception.
- Histologically or cytologically-proven NSCLC (squamous or non-squamous). If the diagnosis is cytologically-proven, sufficient material is necessary with at least 100 tumor cells evaluated for PD-L1 IHC.
