A Clinical Study Conducted in Multiple Centers Comparing Veliparib in Combination With Carboplatin and Paclitaxel Versus a Placebo in Combination With Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Phase 2

Completed

Interventions: Drug: Carboplatin
Drug: Veliparib
Drug: placebo
Drug: paclitaxel

Brief Summary: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Multicenter, Phase 2 Trial Comparing Veliparib Plus Carboplatin and Paclitaxel Versus Placebo Plus Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in Previously Untreated Metastatic or Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).

Detailed Description: Subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to one of the two treatment groups. The safety of each treatment group will be assessed by evaluating study drug exposure, adverse events, serious adverse events, all deaths, changes in laboratory determinations and vital sign parameters. Progression -Free Survival (PFS) using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (version 1.1) will be assessed as well as Overall Survival (OS) and the Objective Response Rate (ORR). Study visits will be conducted according to the protocol schedule. Study visits will include physical examination, laboratory blood sample collection, and assessment of vital signs, medical history and urinalysis. 12-lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) will be performed at protocol specified visits.

Recruitment & Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria

Subject must have cytologically or histologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Subject must have metastatic or advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (stage IIIB or IV) that is not amenable to surgical resection or radiation with curative intent at time of study Screening.
Subject must have at least 1 unidimensional measurable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) lesion on a Computed Tomography (CT) scan as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (version 1.1).
Subject must consent to provide available archived formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue sample of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) lesion (primary or metastatic) for central review and biomarker analysis.
Subject must have no history of brain metastases or evidence of primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors as demonstrated by a baseline magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Subject must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Score of 0-1.
Subjects with fluid retention, including ascites or pleural effusion, may be allowed at the discretion of the Investigator.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Progression Free Survival (PFS)	Radiographic evaluation starting from the third day of study treatment and on average every 6 weeks until documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, until patient is registered as off study.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Objective Response Rate (ORR)	Radiographic evaluation starting from the third day of study treatment and on average every 6 weeks until documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, until patient is registered as off study.
Overall Survival (OS)	Monthly after patient is registered off study up to 36 months or until date of death from any cause, whichever came first.	Continuously from date of randomization until date of death from any cause or until patient is registered as off study, whichever came first.
Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN)	From date of screening, first day of study treatment and then every cycle (about every 3 weeks) until date of death from any cause or patient is registered as off study, whichever came first.
