About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Lung Cancer, Nonsmall Cell focused on measuring Nivolumab, unresectable

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: Squamous and non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer that is at baseline, unresectable stage IIIA-IIIC (8th edition AJCC) and not previously treated PD-L1 level needs to be measured with values 0-100% eligible EGFR/ALK/ROS1 Wild Type or unknown genetic alterations in these genes ECOG Performance Status ≤ 1 Adequate organ and marrow function Adequate pulmonary reserve (e.g., FVC, FEV1, TLC, FRC, and DLCO) capable of tolerating the proposed lung resection Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months For patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured.

    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Response rate after induction
    post induction radiographic response by cat scan

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Change in Toxicity
    To assess safety, investigators will evaluate the rate of toxicity as defined by the Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects (CTCAE) scoring system.
    Percent of participants receiving surgery
    Rate of converting non-surgical stage III(A-C) to surgically resectable disease
    Pathologic complete response (pCR)
    Number of participants with Pathologic Complete Response. Pathologic complete response (pCR) is defined by a surgical pathology specimen
    Major pathological response (MPR)
    MPR rate, defined as number of participants with ≤ 10% residual tumor in lung and lymph nodes
    Progression free survival
    PFS is defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of disease progression or death, whichever occurs first.
    overall survival (OS)
    defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of death
    Change in patient-reported Quality of Life as measured by FACT-TOI
    patient-reported Quality of Life as measured by FACT-TOI; defined as the sum of the scores of the Physical Well-Being (PWB), Functional Well-Being (FWB), and LCS. PWB, FWB, and LCS scores obtained from 7-item questionnaires from the FACT-L (Version 4.0). Questions are on a 5-point scale from 0-4, where 0 = "not at all" and 4 = "very much." Scores range from 0 to 84; higher score indicates better physical aspects of quality of life (QoL).
