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 volunteers

Qualifiers

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

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Oral Restorative Microbiota Therapy (RMT) Capsules

    Drug

    Patients with PD-L1 TC expression will receive sixteen doses of oral RMT capsules weekly

  • Durvalumab 1500 mg IV

    Drug

    Patients 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

    Drug

    Patients 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 intervention

    Sixteen doses of oral placebo capsules given weekly
