Brief Summary
This is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study assessing the efficacy and safety of durvalumab or durvalumab and tremelimumab combination therapy versus placebo as consolidation treatment in patients with LD-SCLC who have not progressed following definitive, platinum-based, concurrent CRT.
To be eligible for this study, patients must have achieved CR, PR, or SD and have not progressed following definitive, platinum-based, concurrent CRT. This CRT treatment, and PCI treatment if received per local standard of care, must be completed within 1 to 42 days prior to randomization and the first dose of investigational product (IP; ie, durvalumab, tremelimumab,or placebo) in this study.In addition,the baseline efficacy assessment must be performed post-CRT as part of the screening procedures within 42 days before randomization and the first dose of IP.
Approximately 750 patients will be recruited in order to enroll and randomize approximately 600 patients in a 1:1:1 ratio to 1 of 3 treatment groups: durvalumab monotherapy, durvalumab and tremelimumab combination therapy, or placebo. Randomization will be stratified by TNM stage (I/II versus III) and receipt of PCI (yes versus no). Recruitment for patients with TNM Stage III disease will be limited to up to 85% of the targeted global population. Patients will receive their assigned treatment until clinical/RECIST 1.1-defined radiological progression, until intolerable toxicity, or for a maximum of 24 months (26 doses/cycles), whichever occurs first.
