Study arms

  • Experimental
    Arm 1

    This is an open-label, single-arm, single center clinical trial to evaluate the feasibility of liver SBRT (up to 4 metastases) during the first cycle of physician's choice ICI for NSCLC.

    Radiation: Liver SBRT · Drug: Pembrolizumab

Interventions

  • RadiationLiver SBRT

    24-45 Gy delivered in 3-5 fractions to 1-4 lesions.

  • DrugPembrolizumab

    200 mg every 3 weeks or 400 mg every 6 weeks

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of patients who receive all fractions of radiotherapy as planned

    Feasibility determination. Analyzed with descriptive statistics.

    Time frame: Up to 0.5 years after start of study treatment

Secondary outcomes

  1. Proportion of patients who develop grade 3 or higher toxicity

    Any serious adverse event that occurs within 60 days after treatment with SBRT or after this time frame and is considered related to the study treatment will also be reported. Analyzed with descriptive statistics.

    Time frame: Up to 1 year after start of study treatment

  2. Progression-free survival

    PFS defined as the time from start of treatment to date of radiological or clinical progression (leading to withdrawal from the study), or death from any cause, whichever comes first. Assessed Per RECIST v1.1; analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves and descriptive statistics.

    Time frame: Time Frame: Up to 3 years after end of study treatment

  3. Overall survival (OS)

    OS defined as the time from start of treatment to death. This will be analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves and descriptive statistics.

    Time frame: Time Frame: Up to 3 years after end of study treatment

  4. Proportion of patients with local control

    Freedom from local progression (local control) is defined as the lack of progression of the tumors treated by RT, either by tumor size or enhancement. Progression or development of new tumors elsewhere in the liver or outside of the liver would not constitute a local control failure. Tumors which increase in size or demonstrate new or increasing enhancement are considered progression. Analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves and descriptive statistics.

    Time frame: Time Frame: Up to 3 years after end of study treatment

Other outcomes

  1. Proportion of responders with increased frequency of circulating lymphocytes

    Flow cytometry quantification of circulating biomarkers. Analyzed with paired T-test.

    Time frame: Time Frame: Up to 3 years after end of study treatment
