Objective of this Therapy Area Insight
Immune therapy is increasingly becoming an effective treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The Objective of this study is to determine the percentage of early stage NSCLC patients with detectable circulating T cells specific against tumor-associated antigen (TAA) after receiving platinum based neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus ipilimumab before surgery.
TOP1201 Clinical Trial
‘TOP1201’ an open label phase II trial was conducted to evaluate the safety and feasibility of neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus ipilimumab followed by surgery as a treatment strategy for stage II-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer.

10 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks times 2 doses beginning 4 weeks postoperative
Neoadjuvant (Pre-Surgery)
10 mg/kg IV over 90 minutes, Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 IV over 3 hours, followed by Cisplatin 75 mg/m2 IV over 60 minutes or carboplatin AUC 6 IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1
Paclitaxel, Cisplatin, Carboplatin Neoadjuvant (Pre-Surgery)
Paclitaxel, Cisplatin, Carboplatin Neoadjuvant (Pre-Surgery) Cycle 1: Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 IV over 3 hours, followed by Cisplatin 75mg/m2 IV over 60 minutes or carboplatin AUC 6 IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1
