E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
Genetic research (Appendix D of study protocol, dated 16 Jul 2018)
Rationale and Objectives Genetic variation may impact a patient’s response to therapy, susceptibility to, and severity and PD. Variable response to therapy may be due to genetic determinants that impact drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion; MOA of the drug; disease aetiology; and/or molecular subtype of the disease being treated. Therefore, where local regulations and IRB/IEC allow, a blood sample will be collected for DNA analysis from consenting patients. AstraZeneca intends to collect, analyse, and store DNA for genetic research to explore how genetic variations may affect clinical parameters, risk and prognosis of diseases, and the response to medications. Genetic research may lead to better understanding of diseases, better diagnosis of diseases or other improvements in health care and to the discovery of new diagnostics, treatments or medications. In addition, collection of DNA samples from populations with well described clinical characteristics may lead to improvements in the design and interpretation of clinical studies and, possibly, to genetically guided treatment strategies.
All patients will be asked to participate in this genetic research. Participation is voluntary and if a patient declines to participate there will be no penalty or loss of benefit. The patient will not be excluded from any aspect of the main study. |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- Patients with locally-advanced NSCLC whose disease has progressed following platinum-based sCRT. - Patients who have disease considered for surgical treatment as part of their care plan, such as Pancoast or superior sulcus tumours. - Mixed small-cell lung cancer and NSCLC histology. - History of allogeneic organ transplantation. - Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders (including inflammatory bowel disease [eg, colitis or Crohn’s disease], diverticulitis [with the exception of diverticulosis], systemic lupus erythematosus, Sarcoidosis syndrome, or Wegener syndrome [granulomatosis with polyangiitis, Graves’ disease, rheumatoid arthritis, hypophysitis, uveitis, etc]). Exceptions to this criterion are defined in the protocol. - 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.
- History of another primary malignancy except for: -- 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. -- Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without evidence of disease. -- Adequately treated carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease.
- History of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis. - History of active primary immunodeficiency. - Active infection including tuberculosis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C virus (HCV), or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Patients with a past or resolved hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection are eligible. Patients positive for hepatitis C antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA). - 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. More details to be found in the protocol. - Known allergy or hypersensitivity to durvalumab (MEDI4736) or any of the IP excipients. - Patients who have received cCRT for locally-advanced NSCLC, or who received sCRT with at least 2 concomitant CRT cycles. Prior surgical resection (ie, Stage I or II) is permitted. - Receipt of live attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of IP. - Major surgical procedure (as defined by the Investigator) within 28 days prior to the first dose of IP. - Prior exposure to immune-mediated therapy, including but not limited to, other anti-CTLA-4, anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, and anti-PD-L2 antibodies, excluding therapeutic anticancer vaccines. - Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days before the first dose of IP. Exceptions to this criterion are detailed in the protocol. - Previous IP assignment in the present study. - Concurrent enrolment in another clinical study, unless it is an observational clinical study or the follow-up period of an interventional study. - Participation in another clinical study with an IP during the 4 weeks prior to the first IP dose administration. - Prior randomisation or treatment in a previous durvalumab (MEDI4736) ± tremelimumab clinical study regardless of treatment arm assignment. - 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. - 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.
- Genetic research study (optional): Exclusion criteria for participation in the optional (DNA) genetic research component of the study include: -- Previous allogeneic bone marrow transplant. -- Non-leukocyte-depleted whole blood transfusion in 120 days of genetic sample collection. |
