ctDNA-MRD Guided Escalation of Ivonescimab and Docetaxel in Advanced NSCLC With Long-Term Responses to First-line Immunotherapy (CR1STAL-Adaptive)

ctDNA-MRD Guided Escalation of Ivonescimab and Docetaxel in Advanced NSCLC With Long-Term Responses to First-line Immunotherapy: a Randomized, Open-label, Phase II Trial (CR1STAL-Adaptive)

Conditions

Summary

The CR1STAL-Adaptive study is a randomized, open-label, phase II multicenter interventional trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Ivonescimab (PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody) combined with docetaxel versus standard treatment in patients with advanced NSCLC who have achieved long-term benefit from first-line immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), but are ctDNA-MRD positive. Building upon insights from previous CR1STAL study (NCT05198154), the CR1STAL-Adaptive study supports the development of precision-guided, adaptive treatment strategies to delay progression and improve outcomes in NSCLC patients with a long-term response to immunotherapy. It represents a step forward in integrating dynamic molecular monitoring with individualized intervention strategies in the era of immunotherapy.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study uses a blood-based cancer detection test (called ctDNA/MRD) to guide treatment decisions for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have been responding well to first-line immunotherapy for 11–15 months. If residual cancer DNA is detected in the blood, treatment is escalated with additional drugs (ivonescimab and docetaxel); if not, the patient continues current therapy. The goal is to personalize treatment and prevent relapse. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 18 and 75 years old - You have stage IIIB to IV non-small cell lung cancer (not amenable to local treatment) confirmed by biopsy - You are currently receiving immunotherapy plus platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment - Your disease has not progressed, and your progression-free survival at enrollment is between 11 and 15 months - Your cancer does not have EGFR, ALK, or ROS1 gene changes (for non-squamous cancer) - You are in good overall health (ECOG 0-1) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your cancer has progressed on first-line therapy - You have brain metastases that are not stable - You have prior exposure to treatments included in this study Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

DRUGIvonescimab

For ctDNA-positive patients, escalation treatment will be administrated Ivonescimab: Intravenous infusion (IV), 20 mg/kg, Day 1, every 3 weeks (Q3W); All enrolled participants will continue treatment until one of the following occurs, whichever comes first: * The investigator determines that there is no longer clinical benefit (based on imaging assessments and clinical status) * Unacceptable toxicity * Completion of 24 months of treatment * Other discontinuation criteria specified in the protocol are met.

DRUGDocetaxel

For ctDNA-positive patients, escalation treatment will be administrated Docetaxel: IV, 75 mg/m², Day 1, Q3W (The investigator may adjust the chemotherapy dose and schedule based on the patient's tolerance during treatment.) All enrolled participants will continue treatment until one of the following occurs, whichever comes first: * The investigator determines that there is no longer clinical benefit (based on imaging assessments and clinical status) * Unacceptable toxicity * Completion of 24 months of treatment * Other discontinuation criteria specified in the protocol are met.

OTHERStandard Treatment group

For ctDNA-positive patients, continuing the original immunotherapy maintenance or immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy
