    Background
    

    Background- Immunotherapy improves survival of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Current clinical trials are studying various combinations of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors and CTLA-4 agents with or without chemotherapy, to enhance treatment efficacy. This trial will determine the effects of adding platinum chemotherapy to combination of check point blockade with durvalumab and tremelimumab in the first line treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

    Method- BR-34 is a CCTG led randomized proof-of-concept trial of durvalumab and tremelimumab, with or without platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with metastatic squamous or non-squamous NSCLC. Patients who have histologically confirmed Stage IV NSCLC and wild type EGFR and ALK, PDL-1 unselected, with measurable disease by RECIST 1.1, and available tissue for biomarker testing are eligible and are stratified by stage, histology and smoking status. Primary end point is overall survival. Secondary end points include progression free survival at 1 year, overall response rate, quality of life, cost effectiveness and correlative studies on tissue and blood (including PD-L1, tumour mutation burden and cell-free DNA) with outcomes and response, and PFS by iRECIST (exploratory). In total 300 patients will be recruited from Canada, Australia and Italy. Arm A will receive 4 cycles of fixed doses of tremelimumab (T) 75 mg plus durvalumab (D) 1500 mg every 28 days IV, followed by durvalumab (D) maintenance and Arm B will receive standard platinum-doublet chemotherapy in combination with T+D every 21 days for 4 cycles, followed by maintenance D (with pemetrexed for those with non-squamous histology), until progression.

    Results- BR-34 was initiated in February 2017 in Canada and total 150 patients have been randomized as of April 2018, including 137 from Canada and 13 from Australia. 28 sites are open to accrual in Canada, 15 in Australia the trial will soon be opened in Italy.

    Conclusion- At the current rate of accrual, the CCTG BR-34 trial should be fully accrued by Q1 2019. This is the first randomized trial of combination checkpoint blockade +/- platinum-doublet chemotherapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
