Summary

This trial is testing whether a combination of two cancer treatments, FLT3L immunotherapy and SBRT, can help people with advanced NSCLC that has progressed following standard systemic therapy. The primary endpoint will be progression-free survival at 4 months.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that can't be cured and who have already tried at least one standard treatment. They should have a tumor suitable for targeted radiotherapy, plus other measurable disease outside the target area.
What is being tested?
The study tests combining FLT3 Ligand immunotherapy (CDX-301) with Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT). Patients will get daily shots of CDX-301 alongside SBRT to a single lesion, aiming to improve progression-free survival at four months.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions at the injection site from CDX-301, fatigue, skin reactions from radiation, and potential damage to nearby organs or tissues due to SBRT.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: SBRT + FLT3 Ligand ImmunotherapyExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients will be treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to a single pulmonary or extrapulmonary lesion as well as FLT3 immunotherapy. FLT3 Ligand Therapy (CDX-301) * Daily subcutaneous injections of CDX-301 (75 ug/kg) will be administered for 5 days, beginning on the first day of SBRT. * Additional cycles of SBRT (to distinct lesions) and CDX-301 may be administered every 2-4 months to subjects who demonstrate evidence of clinical benefit (lack of treatment-related toxicity and no disease progression). * Study therapy will be discontinued in cases of treatment-related toxicity or disease progression.
