Interventions

  • Pembrolizumab — DRUG
    ALL PARTICIPANTS: Pembrolizumab 200 mg intravenously (IV) on day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 4 cycles.
  • Atezolizumab — DRUG
    ALL PARTICIPANTS: 1,200 mg IV on day 1 over 60 minutes of each 3-week cycle for 4 cycles. If the first infusion is tolerated, then all subsequent infusions (cycles 2-4) may be delivered over 30 minutes. The subcutaneous formulation of atezolizumab may be substituted for the intravenous formulation as follows: Atezolizumab hyaluronidase-tqjs 15 mL (1,875 mg atezolizumab and 30,000 units hyaluronidase) subcutaneously into the thigh over 7 minutes on day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 4 cycles.
  • Cemiplimab-Rwlc — DRUG
    ALL PARTICIPANTS: 350 mg IV over 30 minutes on day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 4 cycles.
  • Carboplatin — DRUG
    FOR PARTICIPANTS IN EITHER ARM with non-squamous or squamous subtype, predictive biomarker PD-L1 ≥50%, and the treating clinician has opted for combination chemo/immunotherapy OR non-squamous or squamous subtype, predictive biomarker PD-L1 1-49% or unknown: Carboplatin area under the curve (AUC) 5 IV on day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 4 cycles. AUC dosing (5-6) will be selected by the treating provider.
  • Paclitaxel — DRUG
    FOR PARTICIPANTS IN EITHER ARM with squamous subtype, predictive biomarker PD-L1 ≥50%, and the treating clinician has opted for combination chemo/immunotherapy OR squamous subtype, predictive biomarker PD-L1 1-49% or unknown: Paclitaxel 200 mg/m2 IV on day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 4 cycles.
  • Nab paclitaxel — DRUG
    FOR PARTICIPANTS IN EITHER ARM with squamous subtype, predictive biomarker PD-L1 ≥50%, and the treating clinician has opted for combination chemo/immunotherapy OR squamous subtype, predictive biomarker PD-L1 1-49% or unknown: Nab-paclitaxel 100 mg/m2 on day 1, 8, 15 of 3-week cycle for 4 cycles.
  • Pemetrexed — DRUG
    FOR PARTICIPANTS IN EITHER ARM with non-squamous subtype, predictive biomarker PD-L1 ≥50%, and the treating clinician has opted for combination chemo/immunotherapy OR non-squamous subtype, predictive biomarker PD-L1 1-49% or unknown: Pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 IV on day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 4 cycles.
  • Cisplatin — DRUG
    FOR PARTICIPANTS IN EITHER ARM with non-squamous or squamous subtype, predictive biomarker PD-L1 ≥50%, and the treating clinician has opted for combination chemo/immunotherapy OR non-squamous or squamous subtype, predictive biomarker PD-L1 1-49% or unknown: Cisplatin 75 mg/m2 IV on day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 4 cycles.
  • Quality of Life Questionnaire, lung cancer-specific (QLQ-LC13) — OTHER
    The QLQ-C30 is composed of both multi-item scales and single-item measures. These include five functional scales, three symptom scales, a global health status / QoL scale, and six single items.
  • QLQ-C30 Global Health/Quality of Life Questionnaire — OTHER
    30 item questionnaire - Functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, social), symptom scales (fatigue, pain, and nausea and vomiting), global health status and quality of life scale, also several single-item symptom measures.
  • COPD Assessment Test and modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Patient Reported Outcomes — OTHER
    Dyspnea scale scores in patients with respiratory disease (particularly COPD) to establish baseline functional dyspnea burden (taken pre-study at Week 0 and Post Treatment at week 13).
  • PROMIS and FACT-G Questionnaires — OTHER
    PROMIS 4-item short forms: Fatigue, Sleep Disturbance, Anxiety, and Depression as well as 1 item from the FACT-G which has been established as a valid indicator of treatment side effect bother ("I am bothered by side effects of treatment"); 17 symptom burden questions in total.
  • Sleep Disorder Assessments (ISI, Berlin Sleep Questionnaire) — OTHER
    7 items on the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and 10 items from the Berlin Sleep Questionnaire, a risk assessment for obstructive sleep apnea.

Study Details

This pilot study is configured as a non-inferiority comparison of Performance Status 2 patients with Performance Status 0-1 patients, with the goal of demonstrating non-inferiority in terms of efficacy (progression-free survival, overall survival) and safety (rates of adverse events, quality of life) when treating Performance Status 2 patients with the same first-line immunotherapy-based regimen as Performance Status 0-1 patients.
