Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This phase III trial compares durvalumab to the usual approach (patient observation) after surgery for the treatment of patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. The usual approach for patients who are not in a study is to closely watch a patient's condition after surgery and to have regular visits with their doctor to watch for signs of the cancer coming back. Usually, patients do not receive further treatment unless the cancer returns. This study will help determine whether this different approach with durvalumab is better, the same, or worse than the usual approach of observation. Giving durvalumab may help patients live longer and prevent early-stage non-small cell lung cancer from coming back as compared to the usual approach.

Acceptable types of surgical resection are: lobectomy, sleeve resection, bi-lobectomy, or pneumonectomy. Wedge resection is not allowed. * Note the NCCN guidelines: N1 and N2 node resection and mapping is a routine component of lung cancer resections. It is recommended at a minimum one N1 and three N2 stations is sampled or complete lymph node dissection. Formal ipsilateral mediastinal lymph node dissection is indicated for participants undergoing resection for N2 disease * Participants must have a pathologic complete response (pCR) (no viable tumor in the resected specimen or lymph nodes), as determined by local pathology review * Participants must have a PD-L1 status result (e.g. \[\< 1% versus \>= 1% or unknown\]) * Participants must not have known EGFR mutations, or ALK gene fusion * Participants must have received at least two cycles of neoadjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy and anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 therapy. The neoadjuvant treatment must be Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved and standard of care as listed in NCCN guidelines * Participants must not be planning to receive any concurrent non-protocol directed chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biologic or hormonal therapy for NSCLC treatment while receiving treatment on this study * Participants must not have received any prior systemic therapy (systemic chemotherapy, immunotherapy or investigational drug) within 28 days prior to randomization * Participants must not have medical contraindications or severe adverse events to receiving anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 therapy * Participants must not have received post-operative radiation therapy (PORT) for NSCLC * Participants must not have any unresolved toxicity National Cancer Institute (NCI) CTCAE grade ≥ 2 from previous anticancer therapy with the exception of alopecia, and vitiligo. Note, participants with grade ≥2 neuropathy may be included at the discretion of the treating investigator.

Replacement therapy (e.g. thyroxine for pre-existing hypothyroidism, insulin for type I diabetes mellitus, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a form of systemic treatment. Intra-articular steroid injections are allowed * Participants must not be pregnant or nursing (nursing includes breast milk fed to an infant by any means, including from the breast, milk expressed by hand, or pumped). Individuals who are of reproductive potential must have agreed to use an effective contraceptive method during protocol therapy and for 6 months following completion of protocol therapy with details provided as a part of the consent process. A person who has had menses at any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months or who has semen likely to contain sperm is considered to be of "reproductive potential." In addition to routine contraceptive methods, "effective contraception" also includes refraining from sexual activity that might result in pregnancy and surgery intended to prevent pregnancy (or with a side-effect of pregnancy prevention) including hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, bilateral tubal ligation/occlusion, and vasectomy with testing showing no sperm in the semen. Participants should not breastfeed during protocol therapy and for 6 months following completion of protocol therapy * Participants must not have received a live or live attenuated vaccine within 28 days prior randomization. Examples of live vaccines include, but are not limited to, the following: measles, mumps, rubella, varicella/zoster, yellow fever rabies, Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) and typhoid vaccine.
