About this trial

PulmoPrint is a clinical study at the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) that investigates why some patients with unresectable stage III lung cancer don't respond to immunotherapy after chemoradiotherapy. To do this, a small dose of a fluorescently labeled version of the immunotherapy drug durvalumab is given via an intravenous (IV) drip, after which a bronchoscopy is performed to visualize where and how much of the drug reaches the tumor and lymph nodes - before the actual durvalumab treatment starts.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Signed informed consent prior to participation in the study.

Age ≥ 18 years.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer.

Completion of concurrent platinum-based chemoradiotherapy

Disqualifiers

Known history of infusion reactions to durvalumab, other anti-PD-L1 antibodies, or other monoclonal antibodies, according to the patient's medical history.

Contraindication for bronchoscopy or endoscopic/endobronchial ultrasound (if applicable), including severe uncorrectable coagulopathy, pre-existing severe respiratory insufficiency, or any other clinical reason as judged by the investigator.

Medical or psychiatric conditions compromising the patient's ability to provide informed consent, according to the treating physician.

Pregnancy or breastfeeding. A negative pregnancy test must be available for women of childbearing potential on the day of tracer administration.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

In vivo fluorescence signal of malignant lesions (pulmonary nodule and/or involved lymph node metastases)

In vivo fluorescence signal of malignant lesions (pulmonary nodule and/or involved lymph node metastases) assessed semi-quantitatively (tumor-to-background ratio \[TBR\]/contrast-to-noise ratio) and quantitatively (continuous data by multi-diameter single-fiber reflectance (MDSFR)/single-fiber fluorescence (SFF) spectroscopy \[pulmonary lesion\] and/or Ultrasound-guided needle biopsy (USNB)/SFF spectroscopy \[lymph nodes\] measurement). The signal is considered sufficient when a tumor-to-background ratio (TBR) greater than 2 is achieved, assessed both by the fluorescence camera system and by the spectroscopy system. (The comparison of the fluorescence signal between lesion and background is a supportive exploratory analysis intended to characterize signal distribution; it does not constitute evidence of diagnostic or comparative performance.)

Time frame
Assessed directly during the bronchoscopy procedure

Secondary outcomes

1

Correlation of fluorescence signal with immunohistochemistry (IHC)

In vivo and ex vivo fluorescence signal, programmed-death ligand 1 (PD-L1) immunohistochemistry (IHC) score (assessed according to standard pathology protocols).

Time frame
Up to 2 years
2

Correlation of fluorescence signal with event-free survival (EFS)

In vivo and ex vivo fluorescence signal, 1-, 2-and 5-year (long-term exploratory endpoint) event-free survival (EFS).

Time frame
Up to 2 years
3

Incidence of adverse events after single durvalumab-680LT injection

Adverse events according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0

Time frame
Within 1 week after tracer injection
4

Comparison of the 15 and 25 mg dose durvalumab-680LT

in vivo tumor-to-background ratio of 15 mg versus 25 mg

Time frame
Assessed directly during the bronchoscopy procedure
