Study of JDQ443 in Comparison With Docetaxel in Participants With Locally Advanced or Metastatic KRAS G12C Mutant Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Phase 3

Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
• Interventions: Drug: JDQ443; Drug: docetaxel

• Registration Number: NCT05132075
• Lead Sponsor: Novartis Pharmaceuticals

Brief Summary

This is a phase III randomized open label study designed to compare JDQ443 as monotherapy to docetaxel in participants with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring a KRAS G12C mutation who have been previously treated with a platinum-based chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy either in sequence or in combination.

Detailed Description

The study has been designed as a Phase III trial and consists of 2 parts:

* Randomized part will evaluate the efficacy and safety of JDQ443 as monotherapy in comparison with docetaxel. Participants randomized to docetaxel arm will have the opportunity to cross-over to JDQ443 at disease progression per RECIST 1.1 confirmed by BIRC.

* Extension part will be open after final progression-free survival (PFS) analysis (if the primary endpoint has met statistical significance) to allow participants randomized to docetaxel treatment to crossover to receive JDQ443 treatment regardless of progression on docetaxel.

The study population will include adult participants with locally advanced or metastatic (stage IIIB/IIIC or IV) KRAS G12C mutant non-small cell lung cancer (by tissue or plasma as determined by a Novartis-designated central laboratory or accepted local tests) who have received prior platinum-based chemotherapy and prior immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy administered either in sequence or as combination therapy.

Approximately 360 participants will be randomized to JDQ443 or docetaxel in a 1:1 ratio stratified by prior line of therapy and ECOG performance status.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
JDQ443	JDQ443	Participants will be treated with JDQ443
Docetaxel	docetaxel	Participant will be treated with docetaxel following local guidelines as per standard of care and product labels

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Progression free survival (PFS)	Approximately up to 24 months	PFS is the time from date of randomization/start of treatment to the date of event defined as the first documented progression or death due to any cause. PFS is based on central assessment and using RECIST 1.1 criteria.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Duration of Response (DOR)	Approximately up to 33 months	DOR is calculated as the time from the date of first documented response (complete response (CR) or partial response (PR)) to the first documented date of progression or death due to underlying cancer.
Progression-Free Survival after next line therapy (PFS2)	Approximately up to 33 months	PFS2 (based on local investigator assessment) is defined as time from date of randomization to the first documented progression on next line therapy or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
Change from baseline in EORTC-EQ-5D-5L	Approximately up to 33 months	The EQ-5D-5L is a generic instrument for describing and valuing health. It is based on a descriptive system that defines health in terms of 5 dimensions: Mobility, Self-Care, Usual Activities, Pain/Discomfort, and Anxiety/Depression.
Time To Response (TTR)	Approximately up to 33 months	TTR is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first documented response (CR or PR, which must be confirmed subsequently)
Time to definitive 10-point deterioration symptom scores of chest pain, cough and dyspnea per QLQ-LC13	Approximately up to 33 months	The EORTC QLQ LC13 is a 13-item, lung cancer specific questionnaire module, and it comprises both multi-item and single-item measures of lung cancer-associated symptoms (i.e. coughing, hemoptysis, dyspnea and pain) and side-effects from conventional chemo- and radiotherapy (i.e. hair loss, neuropathy, sore mouth and dysphagia). The time to definitive 10-point deterioration is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of event, which is defined as at least 10 points absolute increase from baseline (worsening), with no later change below the threshold or death due to any cause
Change from baseline in NSCLC-SAQ	Approximately up to 33 months	The Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Symptom Assessment Questionnaire (NSCLC-SAQ) is a 7-item, patient-reported outcome measure which assess patient-reported symptoms associated with advanced NSCLC. It contains five domains and accompanying items that were identified as symptoms of NSCLC: cough (1 item), pain (2 items), dyspnea (1 item), fatigue (2 items), and appetite (1 item).
Overall Survival (OS)	Approximately up to 33 months	OS is defined as the time from date of randomization to date of death due to any cause
Overall Response Rate (ORR)	Approximately up to 33 months	ORR is defined as the proportion of patients with best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on central and local investigator's assessment according to RECIST 1.1.
Concentration of JDQ443 and its metabolite in plasma	Approximately up to 33 months	To characterize the pharmacokinetics of JDQ443 and its metabolite HZC320

The questionnaire contains 30 items and is composed of both multi-item scales and single-item measures based on the participants experience over the past week. These include five domains (physical, role, emotional, cognitive and social functioning), three symptom scales (fatigue, nausea/vomiting, and pain), six single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea and financial impact) and a global health status/HRQoL scale. The time to definitive 10-point deterioration is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of event, which is defined as at least 10 points absolute increase from baseline (worsening) of the corresponding scale score, with no later change below the threshold or death due to any cause
