Summary
Primary Objective: To evaluate whether the addition of adjuvant Pembrolizumab following surgical resection improves disease free survival compared with observation following surgical resection in patients with stage I nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with primary tumors between 1-4 cm in size, regardless of PD-L1 TPS score. Secondary Objectives: To evaluate whether the addition of adjuvant Pembrolizumab following surgical resection improves overall survival compared with observation in patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with primary tumors between 1-4 cm in size, regardless of PD-L1 TPS. To evaluate the disease-free survival and overall survival rates at 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years on each arm. To characterize the toxicity profile of adjuvant Pembrolizumab following surgical resection in patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with primary tumors between 1-4 cm in size. Exploratory Objectives: To evaluate whether the addition of adjuvant Pembrolizumab following surgical resection improves disease free survival compared with observation following surgical resection in patients with stage I nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with primary tumors between 1-4 cm in size and a PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) of &#8805; 50%. To evaluate whether the addition of adjuvant Pembrolizumab following surgical resection improves disease free survival compared with observation following surgical resection in patients with stage I nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with primary tumors between 1-4 cm in size and a high tumor mutation burden (TMB) defined as &#8805; 10 mutations/MB. To evaluate whether the addition of adjuvant Pembrolizumab following surgical resection improves disease free survival compared with observation following surgical resection in patients with stage I nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with primary tumors between 1-4 cm in size and a high tumor mutation burden (TMB) defined as &#8805; 16 mutations/MB. To evaluate the disease free survival and overall survival for patients stratified by PD-L1 status (TPS &#8805; 50% vs. < 50%), and tumor size (1-2 cm vs. >2-4 cm). To evaluate the association between various known prognostic variables, including, but not limited to, tumor differentiation (well-differentiated, moderately well differentiated, poorly differentiated), lymphovascular invasion, sex (male, female), PET max SUV and disease free survival and overall survival in patients treated with adjuvant Pembrolizumab for stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with primary tumors between 1-4 cm in size. To evaluate whether the presence of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) or circulating tumor cells (CTCs) following surgical resection predicts relapse in patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with primary tumors between 1-4 cm in size. To evaluate whether the presence of ctDNA or CTCs following surgical resection in patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with primary tumors between 1-4 cm in size can predict which patients benefit from adjuvant Pembrolizumab compared to observation. To evaluate potential biomarkers (which may include genomics, RNA, tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, CD4 and CD8 expression, JAK2, STK11/LB1 loss of function, macrophage profile, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, and microbiome) as prognostic or predictive for improved disease free survival and overall survival.
