What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused This study
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study uses a blood test to detect tiny amounts of cancer DNA left after standard treatment for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. People whose blood shows this leftover cancer are at higher risk of the cancer coming back. The study tests whether the drug durvalumab can reduce these cancer DNA levels. About 80 adults with stage I to III lung cancer will take part.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria 1. Pathologically (histologically or cytologically proven) NSCLC. Tumors with any component of small cell lung cancer are not allowed. Adenocarcinoma patients must NOT be positive for EGFR Exon 19 deletion or L858R mutation, or ALK or ROS1 rearrangement. 2. AJCC 8th edition clinical or pathological stage IA2 to IIIC or locoregionally recurrent disease. Stage IA1 tumors are excluded unless recurrent with radiographic solid component -or- pathologic invasive component of \> 10 mm. 3. Received curative intent therapy with surgery and/or radiation. Note: May have received chemotherapy. 4. Completed all intended therapy (surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy) - AND- no more than 32 weeks has elapsed after the last day of this therapy. 5. No known current radiographic or pathologic residual/recurrent disease (in the investigator's opinion) after completion of all intended therapy (for example, positive margins after surgery without adjuvant radiotherapy, or unequivocal radiographic evidence of residual or recurrent disease) 6. Pre-treatment tumor tissue or tumor DNA sample is believed to be available for analysis 7. Not received immunotherapy (PD-1, PD-L1, or CTLA-4 antibodies) or be intended to receive immunotherapy, apart from this study. 8. Not received another systemic anti-cancer investigational product during the 4 weeks prior to enrollment. 9. Aged 18 years or older 10. ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1 (Appendix B) 11. Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks 12. Acceptable laboratory parameters: 13. Absolute neutrophil count \> 1.0 x 109/L 14. Platelets \> 75 x 109/L 15. Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL 16. Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN; or Measured creatinine clearance (CL) \>40 mL/min; or Calculated creatinine CL\>40 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault formula (Cockcroft and Gault 1976) 17. Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN). This will not apply to subjects with confirmed Gilbert's syndrome (persistent or recurrent hyperbilirubinemia that is predominantly unconjugated in the absence of evidence of hemolysis or hepatic pathology) who will be allowed in consultation with their physician. 18. AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) 19. Ability to understand and the willingness to sign the written IRB approved informed consent document. 20. Women of childbearing potential or their male partner must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception from enrollment until 8 months after final study therapy. (see section 4.6.1) 21. Body weight \>30kg Exclusion Criteria 1. Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study 2. History of Grade 3 or higher pneumonitis from prior radiation; patients with grade 2 radiation pneumonitis may be considered for enrollment with permission from the Protocol Director or Co-Director. 3. History of another primary malignancy and currently undergoing active treatment Exception: May participate if receiving adjuvant endocrine therapy for breast or prostate cancer. 4. Expected to require ongoing chronic treatment with systemic immunosuppressive medication after enrollment. Exceptions: intranasal, inhaled, or topical corticosteroids or systemic corticosteroids at physiological doses, not to exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone equivalent 5. Any unresolved toxicity CTCAE \> Grade 2 from prior therapy with the exception of alopecia, vitiligo, and the laboratory values defined in the inclusion criteria. * Subjects with Grade \> 2 neuropathy will be evaluated on a case by case basis after consultation with the Protocol Director / Principal Investigator * Subjects with irreversible toxicity that is not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by treatment with durvalumab may be included (ie, hearing loss) with permission from the Protocol Director / Co-Director. 6. Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders which could limit the subjects ability to receive durvalumab on the study (including inflammatory bowel disease \[eg, colitis or Crohn's disease\], diverticulitis \[with the exception of diverticulosis\], systemic lupus erythematosus, Sarcoidosis syndrome, or Wegener syndrome \[granulomatosis with polyangiitis; Graves' disease; rheumatoid arthritis; hypophysitis; uveitis; etc\]). The following may be taken in to considerations as exceptions to this criterion: 1. Vitiligo or alopecia 2. Hypothyroidism (eg, following Hashimoto syndrome) stable on hormone replacement 3. Chronic skin condition not requiring systemic therapy 4. Those without active disease in the last 5 years may be included with permission from the Protocol Director / Co-Director. 5. Celiac disease controlled by diet alone 7. History of primary immunodeficiency 8. History of organ transplant requiring therapeutic immunosuppression 9. Active infection including: * Grade 3 or higher clinically significant infection * Active known Hepatitis B \[known positive results for HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) within 2 months prior to enrollment\]. EXCEPTION: Subjects with a past or resolved HBV infection, defined as the presence of hepatitis B core antibody (anti HBc) and absence of HBsAg are eligible. * Active known Hepatitis C (HCV) EXCEPTION: Subjects positive for HCV antibody are eligible only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for HCV RNA * Active known tuberculosis infection (clinical evaluation that may include clinical history, physical examination and radiographic findings, or tuberculosis testing in line with local practice). * Active known HIV: tested positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (positive HIV 1/2 antibodies) 10. Receipt of live (growth/replication competent) attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to enrollment. Note: Subjects, if enrolled, should not receive live vaccine while receiving the investigational product (IP), and through 30 days after the last dose of IP. 11. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including but not limited to clinically significant: * Symptomatic congestive heart failure * Uncontrolled hypertension * Unstable angina pectoris * Cardiac arrhythmia * Interstitial lung disease (presence of radiation pneumonitis on CT scan is allowed) * Serious chronic gastrointestinal conditions associated with diarrhea * Psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirement, substantially increase risk of incurring AEs or compromise the ability of the subject to give written informed consent. 12. Female subjects who are pregnant or breast feeding. 13. Any other medical condition that, in the investigator's opinion, makes the subject unsuitable for enrollment and study procedures. 14. Female subjects who are pregnant or breast-feeding; or subjects of reproductive potential of any gender who are not employing or who do not agree to employ an effective method of birth control (see Section 4.7) prior to trial enrollment.
