About this trial
This is a randomized, active-controlled, parallel-group, double-blind Phase II trial, of oral restorative microbiota therapy (RMT) or placebo combined with intravenous (IV) durvalumab (MEDI4736) plus chemotherapy in patients with treatment naïve advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the lung that is unresectable stage IIIB/C or stage IV, does not have an EGFR sensitizing (activating) mutation or ALK or ROS1 translocation. BRAF, RET, NTRK, MET ex 14 splice site mutation
Measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1
Tumor sample requirements
Mandatory provision of an unstained, archived tumor tissue sample in a quantity sufficient to allow for biomarker and genomic analysis. A minimum of 10 unstained slides should be available for evaluation.
Disqualifiers
Not pregnant or breast feeding. Evidence of post-menopausal status, or negative urine or serum pregnancy test for female pre-menopausal patients. Women will be considered postmenopausal if they have amenorrhea for 12 months without an alternative medical explanation
Dysphagia or inability to swallow medications
Squamous cell, large cell, or NSCLC NOS (not otherwise specified) histology or mixed tumors
Has untreated brain metastasis or active leptomeningeal carcinomatosis
Trial design
Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial
Oral Restorative Microbiota Therapy (RMT) Capsules
DrugPatients with PD-L1 TC expression will receive sixteen doses of oral RMT capsules weekly
Durvalumab 1500 mg IV
DrugPatients with PD-L1 TC expression receive durvalumab 1500 mg IV every 4 weeks (Q4W) until disease progression or for a maximum of two years from the 1st dose of durvalumab
Cisplatin/pemetrexed or Carboplatin/pemetrexed
DrugPatients with PD-L1 TC receive cisplatin/pemetrexed or carboplatin/pemetrexed given every 3 weeks (Q3W) for 4 cycles followed by pemetrexed maintenance given Q3W
Placebo
Other interventionSixteen doses of oral placebo capsules given weekly
