Phase 2
Recruiting
Led By Nasser Hanna, MD
Research Sponsored by Nasser Hanna
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Squamous or non-squamous NSCLC histology. Cancers with a histology of "adenosquamous" are considered a type of adenocarcinoma and thus "non-squamous histology".
Patients must have undergone complete surgical resection of their stage I (tumors >= 4cm), IIA, IIB, and select stage III [any T1-3 N1-2 and T4N0-2] NSCLC according to the AJCC 8th edition with negative margins (R0).

Study Summary

This trial is testing whether adding the immunotherapy drug atezolizumab to standard chemotherapy after surgery can help people with early-stage lung cancer live longer without their disease coming back.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who've had surgery to remove certain stages of non-small cell lung cancer and have detectable ctDNA, indicating a risk of recurrence. They must be in good health with proper organ function, not pregnant or breastfeeding, willing to use contraception, and haven't received prior treatments for this cancer. People with other active cancers, severe allergies to atezolizumab or its components, autoimmune diseases, infections like HIV or hepatitis B/C are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if adding the drug Atezolizumab to standard chemotherapy after surgery can prevent cancer from coming back in patients with specific stages of lung cancer who have signs of residual disease (ctDNA). It will check if clearing ctDNA from blood correlates with longer periods without disease and overall survival.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Atezolizumab may cause immune-related side effects such as inflammation in various organs including lungs (pneumonitis), liver problems (hepatitis), skin reactions, hormonal gland issues (like thyroid disorders), infusion reactions; fatigue; potential worsening of pre-existing autoimmune conditions.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Percentage of patients with undetectable ctDNA after 4 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy + Atezolizumab plus up to 13 additional cycles of Atezolizumab in patients with stage I (tumors ≥ 4cm), IIA, IIB, and select stage III [any T1-3 N1-2 and T4N0-2]
Secondary outcome measures
1 year Disease Free Survival (DFS) in all patients
1 year Disease Free Survival (DFS) in patients with detectable ctDNA after 1 year of adjuvant therapy on study
1 year Disease Free Survival (DFS) in patients with no detectable ctDNA after 4 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy + Atezolizumab who had detectable ctDNA after surgery.

Dr. Hannah is truly the best of the best. They are so informative and take the time to explain your condition, treatment options, and what to expect. I would recommend them to anyone going through a cancer situation.
