Phase II Pilot Study of Performance Status 2 vs. Performance Status 0-1 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients Treated With Chemo/Immunotherapy
Wake Forest University Health Sciences
Summary
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.
Description
Primary Objective: To demonstrate that proportion of Performance Status 2 participants with progression-free survival at 12 weeks is not inferior to the corresponding proportion of Performance Status 0-1 patients. Secondary Objective(s) * To demonstrate that incidence of treatment-related adverse events at 12 weeks in the Performance Status 2 group is not higher than that occurring in the Performance Status 0-1 groups. * To demonstrate that change in overall quality of life/global health status at 12 weeks is not inferior in the Performance Status 2 group compared to the change in the Perfor…

Interventions
- DrugPembrolizumab
ALL PARTICIPANTS: Pembrolizumab 200 mg intravenously (IV) on day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 4 cycles.
- DrugAtezolizumab
ALL PARTICIPANTS: 1,200 mg IV on day 1 over 60 minutes of each 3-week cycle for 4 cycles.

- OtherQuality of Life Questionnaire, lung cancer-specific (QLQ-LC13)
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.
- OtherQLQ-C30 Global Health/Quality of Life Questionnaire
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.

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).
- OtherPROMIS and FACT-G Questionnaires
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.
