PCSK9 Inhibitor and PD-1 Inhibitor in Patients With Metastatic, Refractory To Prior Anti PD-1 Non-small Cell Lung

Description

PCSK9 mediates immune checkpoint blockade resistance by downregulating tumor cell surface MHC class 1 molecules. This study will evaluate if combining the anti-PCSK9 antibody alirocumab with the anti-PD-1 antibody cemiplimab can generate anti-tumor activity and clinical responses in patients with metastatic lung cancer who have progressed on first line immune checkpoint blockade therapy.

Conditions

Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Histologically documented recurrent and/or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer
  • * Progression after prior PD-1 directed therapy (as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy and/or anti-CTLA4, or anti-VEGF agents) - defined as investigator assessed progression from prior treatment
  • * If molecularly altered NSCLC including EGFR, ALK, ROS1, MET exon 14, RET, BRAF, NTRK, progression on prior targeted therapy is required
  • * Measurable disease by RECIST 1.1
  • * ECOG Performance Status 0 or 1
  • * Signed written informed consent
  • * Minimum of 4 weeks from any other experimental anti-cancer therapies or prior PD-1 treatment
  • * Meet all the laboratory criteria per protocol
  • * Prior treatment with PCSK9 inhibitors
  • * Cardiac issues including MI, uncontrolled arrhythmia, symptomatic angina pectoris, active ischemia, or cardiac failure not controlled by medications.
  • * Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, defined as HbA1c \> 10
  • * Major surgery less than 4 weeks prior to study enrollment
  • * Another malignant condition diagnosed within 3 years of study enrollment
  • * Intolerance to prior PD-1/L1 treatment including discontinuation for severe or recurrent severe toxicity (including myocarditis or other myocardiotoxity, encephalitis, colitis, diarrhea, pancreatitis, hypo/hyperthyroidism, hypopituitarism, adrenal insufficiency, rash, autonomic neuropathy, myasthenia gravis, Guillain-Barre, myositis/polymyositis, hepatitis, Type 1 Diabetes, thrombocytopenia) or developed an immune checkpoint blockade related immune adverse event that was refractory to steroids and required additional systemic immunosuppressive medication.
  • * Known history of HIV seropositivity or known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
  • * Additional exclusion criterion as per listed in the protocol
