AI generated eligibility summary. Written by an AI model from the official source data and checked on a sample basis. It can contain mistakes, so confirm anything important against the original source. How we use AI
Who may be able to join
- A person (or their legal representative) has given written consent to take part in the study and to the use of their personal data.
- People aged 18 years or older, of any sex.
- People whose general physical functioning falls within a certain range, meaning they are able to care for themselves and may or may not be able to do light work (confirm with trial site — this refers to an ECOG Performance Status of 0–2).
- People who have been confirmed by tissue or cell testing to have stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (a specific advanced stage of lung cancer) and have not yet received any systemic treatment for cancer that has spread or returned.
- Tumours that are a mix of different cell types may also be eligible.
- People whose tumour tests show a PD-L1 score of 50% or higher (measured by a local laboratory test).
- People whose cancer does not have certain specific genetic changes (in EGFR, ALK, or ROS1) that would point to a different targeted treatment.
- People whose blood test at screening shows a specific type of immune cell (called CD10- LDNs) making up more than 30.5% of a certain group of blood cells — this will be measured and confirmed centrally by the study coordinating centre.
- People who have measurable disease visible on two CT scans done before joining the trial, meeting all of the following conditions:
- At least one measurable area of cancer that has not previously been treated with radiotherapy.
- Scans of the chest and abdomen must be included.
- The scans must be available to be sent (anonymised) to a central radiologist for independent confirmation.
- The two pre-treatment CT scans must be taken no less than 2 weeks apart and no more than 12 weeks apart.
- The most recent scan must be taken no more than 4 weeks before treatment begins.
- People who are willing to provide blood samples at set points during the study for research purposes.
- People whose blood and organ function results fall within acceptable ranges, including:
- Sufficient levels of a type of white blood cell (neutrophils).
- Sufficient platelet count (cells that help blood clot).
- Sufficient haemoglobin (the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen).
- Adequate kidney function — the required level depends on which chemotherapy drug is used (confirm with trial site).
- Bilirubin (a substance processed by the liver) within an acceptable range, with an exception possible for people with a confirmed condition called Gilbert's syndrome (confirm with trial site).
- Liver enzyme levels (AST and ALT) within an acceptable range.
- People who do not have a known severe allergic reaction (grade 3 or higher) to any of the study chemotherapy drugs, the immunotherapy drug cemiplimab, or any of their ingredients.
Who may not be able to join
Each point below is a reason the trial team may not be able to accept someone. It is not a list of requirements to meet.
- People who had an infection serious enough to require hospitalisation or intravenous (IV) antibiotics or antifungals within 2 weeks before the first dose of study treatment.
- People with a known uncontrolled infection with HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, tuberculosis (active or latent), or a known condition that weakens the immune system.
- People who received a live or live-attenuated vaccine (a type of vaccine made with a weakened form of a virus or bacteria) within 30 days before the baseline blood test for the study; or who received a COVID-19 vaccine within 1 week before the planned start of study treatment, or whose COVID-19 vaccination course would not be completed at least 1 week before treatment starts.
- People with a history of a specific type of lung inflammation called interstitial lung disease (such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or organising pneumonia), or who have had active non-infectious lung inflammation that needed high-dose immune-suppressing steroid treatment.
- People who received radiotherapy within 7 days before the baseline blood test for the study.
- People who received certain medications that stimulate blood cell production (such as G-CSF, GM-CSF, or erythropoietin) within 28 days before the baseline blood test; preventive use of these medications during the study is also not permitted, and any necessary use must be discussed with the coordinating centre.
- People with ongoing or recent significant autoimmune disease that required treatment with systemic immune-suppressing medications — however, certain conditions are not disqualifying, including vitiligo, childhood asthma that has fully resolved, hormone-related conditions such as an underactive thyroid or type 1 diabetes managed only with hormone replacement, or psoriasis that does not need systemic treatment.
- People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or people of reproductive potential who are not using a highly effective form of contraception.
- People with any other condition that, in the treating doctor's opinion, would interfere with assessing the study treatment or interpreting the results.
- People currently receiving any other chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biological therapy, or hormonal therapy for cancer (hormonal therapy for non-cancer reasons, such as hormone replacement therapy, is acceptable).
- People who have received a transplant of donated tissue or a solid organ from another person.
