Interventions

  • Ipilimumab — DRUG
    Neoadjuvant (Pre-Surgery): Cycles 2 and 3: Ipilimumab 10 mg/kg IV over 90 minutes Adjuvant (Post-Surgery): Ipilimumab 10 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks times 2 doses beginning 4 weeks postoperative ( up to 10 weeks if needed for recovery) Maintenance: Ipilimumab 10 mg/kg/IV every 12 weeks times 2 doses
  • Paclitaxel, Cisplatin, Carboplatin — DRUG
    Neoadjuvant (Pre-Surgery) Cycle 1: Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 IV over 3 hours , followed by Cisplatin 75 mg/m2 IV over 60 minutes or carboplatin AUC 6 IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1(Every 21 days x 1 cycle) Cycles 2 and 3: Ipilimumab 10 mg/kg IV over 90 minutes, Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 IV over 3 hours , followed by Cisplatin 75 mg/m2 IV over 60 minutes or carboplatin AUC 6 IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1(Every 21 days x 2 cycles)

Study Details

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the combination of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (chemotherapy before surgery) plus ipilimumab for lung cancer increases the number of patients with detectable circulating T cells with specificities against tumor associated antigens (TAA) from zero percent (0%) of patients prior to therapy to 20% of patients after neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus ipilimumab. This is an open label Phase 2 trial. Patients with clinical stage 1B (\>4 cm), 2, (N0-2) or 3 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and no prior therapy for the current diagnosis of lung cancer will be eligible for the study. Subjects will receive 3 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (paclitaxel + cisplatin/carboplatin). Ipilimumab will be administered during Cycles 2 and 3 of standard chemotherapy and for up to 4 cycles alone after surgery. Subjects will undergo standard clinically indicated surgical resection of their lung cancer as deemed appropriate by their surgeon. Standard diagnostic and staging work up will be performed including: pathologic/histologic diagnosis of NSCLC, Positron Emission Tomography (PET)/Computed Tomography (CT) scan, brain imaging, and mediastinoscopy. Three cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy will be given. Ipilimumab will be added to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for cycles 2 and 3. Standard surgical evaluation and therapy will be performed following completion of neoadjuvant therapy. Two cycles of single agent ipilimumab will be given after surgery (adjuvantly), followed by 2 cycles of maintenance therapy.
