Initial Safety and Feasibility Results From a Phase 1, Diagnose-and-Treat Trial of Neoadjuvant Intratumoral Cisplatin for Stage IV NSCLC

Neoadjuvant intratumoral cisplatin has the potential to generate substantial cytotoxicity and immune priming within the tumor environment, while minimizing systemic, off-target, adverse events. We initiated a phase 1A, 3+3 dose-ranging study of neoadjuvant, intratumoral cisplatin, delivered through endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscopy, in the same procedure as the initial diagnosis. There were no dose-limiting toxicity identified at the 20mg level.
