Dupilumab

This is a phase 1/2 study of combined treatment with dupilumab (anti-IL-4Ra) and cemiplimab (anti-PD-1) in patients with early-stage, resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study will include participants with a confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC who are deemed to be surgical candidates, or patients who have a smoking history and radiographic findings highly suggestive if a diagnosis of NSCLC who are scheduled to undergo diagnostic biopsy. On Day 1, participants will receive neoadjuvant therapy consisting of 600 mg of dupilumab (2 SC injections of 300 mg) and 350 mg of IV cemiplimab. Participants will undergo standard of care surgery, which will be scheduled within 7 days of Day 15. Participants will be followed up 30 days following administration of dupilumab and cemiplimab for adverse event (AE) and dose limiting toxicity (DLT) monitoring. Participants will be offered adjuvant therapy as per standard of care, outside the context of this clinical treatment, and undergo subsequent standard of care monitoring for recurrence. The study team will monitor the status of the participant through chart review, or by telephone should the patient not continue to follow with a physician at Mount Sinai, for up to 5 years.

Pilot trial of the IL-4 receptor antagonist dupilumab plus pembrolizumab, paclitaxel, and carboplatin in locally advanced triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Primary Objective: To assess the safety of neoadjuvant dupilumab and pembrolizumab plus weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin as measured by the proportion of severe immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in patients with locally advanced TNBC. Secondary Objectives: To determine the rates of pathologic complete response with the addition of dupilumab to NAC and pembrolizumab; to determine the rate of residual cancer burden 0-1; to estimate the recurrence-free survival and overall survival; to assess the toxicity of the combination of dupilumab, pembrolizumab, and paclitaxel-carboplatin.
