Dose-Limiting Pulmonary Toxicity in a Phase 1/2 Study of Radiation and Chemotherapy with Ipilimumab Followed by Nivolumab for Patients With Stage 3 Unresectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

We hypothesized that concurrent ipilimumab with chemoradiationtherapy (chemoRT) followed by maintenance nivolumab would be safe for patients with unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We aimed to assess the safety (phase 1) and the 12-month progression-free survival (PFS) (phase 2) in a multi-institution prospective trial.

Methods and materials

Eligible patients had unresectable stage III NSCLC. The treatment included platinum doublet chemotherapy with concurrent thoracic radiation therapy to 60 Gy in 30 fractions and ipilimumab (1 mg/kg) delivered during weeks 1 and 4. After chemoRT, maintenance nivolumab (480 mg) was given every 4 weeks for up to 12 cycles. Adverse events (AEs) were assessed according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adve
