PALACE: Cemiplimab Trial According to ctDNA Levels

Phase II Clinical Trial With an Adaptive Design According to Response to Cemiplimab Monotherapy Using ctDNA and Subsequent Treatment With Chemotherapy (CT) and Cemiplimab or Cemiplimab Monotherapy in First Line Advanced NSCLC Patients


Sponsor

Fundación GECP

Enrollment

63 participants

Start Date

Jul 29, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This is an open-label, non-randomised, phase II, multicenter clinical trial. 63 stage IV or stage IIIB/C not candidates for definitive chemo/radiotherapy or surgical resection non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) per the 8th edition TNM with no prior systemic anti-cancer therapy will be enrolled in this trial to determine whether therapy decision making based on ctDNA analysis improves overall survival.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether an immunotherapy drug called cemiplimab can be guided by a blood test called ctDNA (circulating tumor DNA) that detects cancer signals in the blood. The goal is to personalize treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) based on real-time tumor monitoring. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older with stage IIIB/C or stage IV NSCLC that cannot be treated with surgery or combined chemo-radiation - Your tumor expresses high levels of a protein called PD-L1 (50% or more) - You have not received prior chemotherapy or immunotherapy for your lung cancer - You have at least one measurable tumor on imaging - Your blood counts and organ function are adequate - Your general health is good (ECOG 0-1) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your cancer has been previously treated with systemic therapy (prior early-stage chemo is OK if it ended more than 6 months ago) - Your PD-L1 levels are below 50% Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

DRUGCemiplimab

Patients will receive Cemiplimab administered by IV infusion over 30 minutes every 28 days (Q3W) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, loss of clinical benefit as judged by the investigator or up to a maximum of 2 years of treatment. Structure: is a high affinity hinge-stabilized IgG4P human antibody to the PD-1receptor (PDCD1, CD279) that blocks PD 1/PD L1 mediated T cell inhibition. Binding of the PD-1 ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2, to the PD-1 receptor found on T cells, inhibits T-cell proliferation and cytokine production. Upregulation of PD-1 ligands occurs in some tumors and signaling through this pathway can contribute to inhibition of active T-cell immune surveillance of tumors. Route of administration: Intravenous infusion.

DRUGCarboplatin

Patients will receive Carboplatin administered by IV infusion for 2 cycles. Structure: The cis-diamino (cyclobutane-1, 1 dicarboxylate) platin. Stability: 24 hours at ambient temperature in 5% glucose, glucosaline or physiologic saline. It is recommended not to dilute with chlorinated solutions since this could affect the carboplatin. Route of administration: Intravenous infusion.

DRUGPaclitaxel

Patients will receive Paclitaxel administered by IV infusion for 2 cycles. Structure: A diterpene whose composition is: 5b, 20- epoxy-1, 2a, 4,7b, 10b, 13a-hexahidroxytax-11-en 9 one 4,10-diacetate 2-benzoate 13-ester with (2R,3S)- N-benzoyl-3-phenylisoserine. Stability: Concentrations of 0.3-1.2 mg/ml in 5% dextrose or normal saline have demonstrated chemical and physical stability for more than 27 hours at ambient temperature (25ºC approximately). The intact vial must be stored between 15º and 25ºC. Guidelines of Paclitaxel administration: Paclitaxel must be administered by infusion over 3 hours in dextrose (D5W) or normal saline (NS). The concentration must not exceed 1.2 mg/ml.
