Local Consolidative Therapy (LCT) and Durvalumab (MEDI4736) for Oligoprogressive and Polyprogressive Stage III NSCLC After Chemoradiation and Anti-PD-L1 Therapy (ENDURE)
This phase II trial finds out the effect of local consolidative therapy and durvalumab in treating patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that has 3 or fewer lesions of progression (oligoprogressive) and greater than 3 lesions of progression (polyprogressive) after chemoradiation and anti-PD-l1 therapy. Local consolidative therapy, such as surgery and/or radiation, after initial treatment may kill any remaining tumor cells. Immunotherapy with durvalumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving local consolidative therapy and durvalumab may help to control the disease.
• Capable of giving signed informed consent which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol
• Stage III NSCLC (AJCC 7th and 8th edition) patients who received standard chemoradiation followed by durvalumab therapy with either progressive disease or persistent disease. Persistent disease defined as residual positron emission tomography (PET) avidity 6 months after completion of initial definitive therapy and confirmed with biopsy
• For lung adenocarcinoma patients, patients must not harbor any EGFR sensitizing mutations, ALK fusion, ROS1 rearrangements, RET fusions, or MET exon 14 skipping mutations where there are standard of care therapy options available. For patients with histologies other than adenocarcinoma, EGFR and ALK status is not required. Adenocarcinoma patients may be consented prior to the EGFR, ALK, and ROS1 status being known, but EGFR, ALK, and ROS1 status must be determined prior to initiating therapy. EGFR, ALK, and ROS ALK status may be determined using either tumor- or plasma-based, Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA)-certified assays. For patients with NSCLC, not otherwise specified (NOS), EGFR testing is not required, as the frequency of alterations is exceedingly rare in this histology
• Cohort A: Oligoprogressive disease is defined as having 3 or fewer lesions of progression (sites can be local, distant, or both). Multiple mediastinal lesions will be counted as 1 lesion
• Cohort B: Polyprogressive disease defined as having greater than 3 lesions of progression (sites can be local, distant, or both). Multiple mediastinal lesions will be counted as 1 lesion
• Candidate for radiation therapy to at least one lesion
• Tumor assessment by computed tomography (CT) scan with contrast chest/abdomen/pelvis or PET-CT, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain must be performed within 28 days prior to study entry
• Age \>= 18 years at time of study entry
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1
• Body weight \> 30 kg
• Hemoglobin \>= 9.0 g/dL
• Platelet count \>= 75 × 10\^9/L
• Serum bilirubin =\< 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN). This will not apply to patients with confirmed Gilbert's syndrome (persistent or recurrent hyperbilirubinemia that is predominantly unconjugated in the absence of hemolysis or hepatic pathology), who will be allowed only in consultation with their physician
• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase \[SGPT\]) =\< 2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal unless liver metastases are present, in which case it must be =\< 5 x ULN
• Measured creatinine clearance (CL) \> 15 mL/min or calculated creatinine CL \> 15 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault formula (Cockcroft and Gault 1976) or by 24-hour urine collection for determination of creatinine clearance
• Patient is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations including follow up
• Must have a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks
