About this trial
Open-label, phase III, randomized, stratified (PDL1- vs PDL1+), 3 arms, multicenter clinical trial.
129 resected patients (43 per arm) with stage from IB to IIIA and IIIB (N2) non-small cell lung cancer that do not achieve pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant treatment.
This clinical trial has 3 arms of treatment. ARM 1: Observation 10 months, ARM 2: treatment with immunotherapy (Zimberelimab) for 13 cycles and ARM 3: treatment with Sacituzumab Govitecan and Zimberelimab for 8 cycles and Zimberelimab monotherapy for 5 cycles.
The primary objective is to evaluate the disease-free survival (DFS): defined as the length of time from randomization to the earliest event defined as disease recurrence, any new lung cancer (even in the opposite lung), or death from any cause at any known point in time.
Patient accrual is expected to be completed within 2 years, treatment is planned to extend during 1 years and the patients will be followed up for 2 years. The study will end once survival follow-up has concluded.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
1. Patients diagnosed of primary non-small cell lung cancer, histologically confirmed.
2. Patients should be classified postoperatively in stage IB, IIA, IIB, IIIA or IIIB (N2) according to pathological criteria (pTNM) and according to 8th version of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Staging Manual in Thoracic Oncology
3. Complete surgical resection (R0) of the primary NSCLC is also essential. Surgeons are strongly advised to dissect or obtain samples of all accessible lymph node levels, as established in the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons guide. Consequently, at the end of the surgical intervention it is recommended to have obtained samples of a minimum of 3 specific mediastinal ganglionic lobe stations (N2), one of which should include station 7, and at least one N1 station
4. The surgical intervention may consist of a lobectomy, sleeve resection, bilobectomy or pneumonectomy, as determined by the responsible surgeon based on intraoperative findings. Patients who have had only segmentectomies or wedge resections are not considered eligible for participation in this study except if R0 resection can be confirmed.
Disqualifiers
properly treated non-melanotic skin cancer
cancer in situ treated with curative intent or other malignancies treated with curative intent and without signs of disease for a period of> 3 years after the end of the treatment and which, in the opinion of the doctor in charge of their treatment, do not present a substantial risk of relapse of the previous malignant disease.
2.T4 patients with invasion of heart, great vessels, carina, trachea, oesophagus or spine
3. Patients with ALK translocation, STK11 o KEAP1 known mutations before inclusion in this trial.
