ENTRÉE Lung Platform Trial Sub-study 1: Phase II Randomized Efficacy and Safety Analysis of Feladilimab Plus Docetaxel Versus Docetaxel Monotherapy in Advanced/Recurrent NSCLC

A new immune-boosting antibody added to chemotherapy did not improve survival in previously treated lung cancer despite acceptable safety.

The ENTRÉE Lung Sub-study 1 Phase 2 RCT found no survival benefit for feladilimab (an ICOS costimulatory agonist antibody) added to docetaxel in second-line NSCLC post-checkpoint therapy, with numerically worse OS (HR 1.5). Despite an acceptable safety profile, this negative result suggests ICOS agonism alone is insufficient to overcome resistance to prior anti-PD(L)1 therapy in this setting.

Why it surfaced

Negative Phase 2 RCT with direct clinical relevance for immunotherapy strategies in NSCLC. Informs against ICOS monotherapy approaches in post-checkpoint failure setting.
