The introduction of maintenance immunotherapy with the anti PD-L1 inhibitor durvalumab opened a new therapeutic window for stage III NSCLC patients who achieve at least stable disease after chemo-radiation, as shown by the randomized phase 3 PACIFIC study. However, still half of the patients do progress at 12 months (up to 70% at 18 months). In this study, the investigators aim to test a non-invasive image-based approach, namely a "radiomics" platform, as a tool to define a higher or lower likelihood of response to chemo-radiation and durvalumab. For this purpose, we will retrospectively and prospectively collect and analyze a cohort of 70 stage III NSCLC patients treated with CT-RT followed by maintenance durvalumab.
A secondary analysis will assess the tumor mutational burden (TMB) and its potential correlation with either radiomic features and/or response.
Specific aim (one):
To collect and analyze CT scans at diagnosis and after chemoradiation, and assign them to a specific radiomic signature (blind assessment).
Specific aim (two):
This is an observational longitudinal retrospective/prospective study.
Criteria for study entry:
Exclusion criteria:
As per indication, patients should have received a thoracic radiation dose of at least 54 Gy to the primary tumor and lymph nodes; all techniques are allowed. Conventional fractionation or mild hypofractionation is also allowed. All different platinum-based chemotherapy regimens are admitted for the present study in combination with radiotherapy, given either concomitantly or sequentially, according to International Guidelines for combination therapy in locally advanced NSCLC.
