Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Small Cell Lung Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04256421
Lead Sponsor
Hoffmann-La Roche
Brief Summary

This study will evaluate the efficacy of tiragolumab plus atezolizumab and carboplatin and etoposide (CE) compared with placebo plus atezolizumab and CE in participants with chemotherapy-naive extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). Eligible participants will be stratified by Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (0 vs. 1), LDH (\</= upper limit of normal \[ULN\] vs. \> ULN), and presence or history of brain metastasis (yes vs. no) and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive one of the following treatment regimens during induction phase:

* Arm A: Tiragolumab plus atezolizumab plus CE

* Arm B: Placebo plus atezolizumab plus CE

Following the induction phase, participants will continue maintenance therapy with either atezolizumab plus tiragolumab (Arm A) or atezolizumab plus placebo (Arm B).

Investigator-Assessed PFS Rates at 6 Months and 12 Months in the PASMonth 6, Month 12

PFS rate at 6 months and 12 months was defined as the percentage of participants who were event free at these specific time points. Percentages have been rounded off to the nearest decimal point. A point estimate of the event-free rate is a single, numerical value used to approximate the true event-free rate of the entire population at a specific point in time. This value is calculated from ordered data (Event, Censoring) of each patient, using the Kaplan-Meier method, and accounts for censored observations( so Event free rates may not directly be calculated based only on patients remaining at risk).

Time to Confirmed Deterioration (TTCD) of European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core (QLQ-C30) Physical Functioning in the PASFrom randomization until the first confirmed clinically meaningful deterioration up to approximately 24 months

TTCD was the time from randomization until the first confirmed clinically meaningful deterioration in physical functioning. TTCD was determined based on patient-reported physical functioning (items 1-5) as collected and measured by the EORTC QLQ-C30. The PF is measured on 4-point scale (1='Not at all' to 4='Very much'). A high score for the physical function subscale represented a high/healthy level of functioning. The scale was linearly transformed so that each score ranged from 0 to 100. A score change of at least 10-point in physical functioning subscale score was perceived by participants as clinically meaningful. Confirmed clinically meaningful deterioration was defined as a clinically meaningful decrease from baseline that was held for at least two consecutive assessments or an initial clinically meaningful decrease from baseline followed by death from any cause within 3 weeks.

TTCD of EORTC QLQ-C30 Global Health Status (GHS)/Quality of Life (QoL) in the PASFrom randomization until the first confirmed clinically meaningful deterioration up to approximately 24 months

TTCD was the time from randomization until the first confirmed clinically meaningful deterioration in patient-reported global health status (GHS)/ quality of life (QoL). TTCD was determined based on patient-reported GHS/QoL (items 29-30) as collected and measured by the EORTC QLQ-C30. HS/QoL items are scored on a 7-point scale that ranges from "very poor" to "excellent". A high score for the GHS/QoL subscale represented a high health related quality of life. The scale was linearly transformed so that each score ranged from 0 to 100. A score change of at least 10-point in GHS/QoL subscale score was perceived by participants as clinically meaningful. Confirmed clinically meaningful deterioration was defined as a clinically meaningful decrease from baseline that was held for at least two consecutive assessments or an initial clinically meaningful decrease from baseline followed by death from any cause within 3 weeks.

Percentage of Participants With Adverse EventsUp to 65 months

An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events.

Cmin of AtezolizumabAt the end of each cycle (each cycle is 21 days) of Cycles 1, 2, 3, 7, 11 and 15 (approximately 11 months)
Maximum Serum Concentration (Cmax) of TiragolumabPredose and 30 minutes post end of infusion (EOI) on Day 1 of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 21 days)
Cmax of AtezolizumabPredose and 30 minutes post EOI on Day 1 of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 21 days)
Number of Participants With Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADAs) to TiragolumabPredose on Day 1 of Cycles 1 (each cycle is 21 days), 2, 3, 4, 8,12 and 16 and at treatment discontinuation (TD) visit (up to 24 months)

Reported here is the number of participants who had a positive ADA assay result at baseline and the number of participants positive for treatment emergent ADAs. The participants positive for treatment emergent ADAs include treatment-induced and treatment-enhanced ADA positive participants. Treatment-induced ADAs are participants with negative or missing baseline ADA result(s) and at least one positive post-baseline ADA result. Treatment-enhanced ADAs are participants with a positive ADA result at baseline who had one or more post-baseline titer results that were at least 0.60 t.u. greater than the baseline titer result. The total number of participants who developed ADAs to tiragolumab was determined by summing the ADA-positive participants across all timepoints.

Change From Baseline in EuroQol 5-Dimension, 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) Index-based and Visual Analog Scale ScoresFrom baseline up to 65 months

The EQ-5D-5L is a validated self-report health status questionnaire that was used to calculate a health status utility score for use in health economic analyses. There were two components to the EQ-5D-5L: a five-item health state profile that assessed mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression, as well as a visual analog scale (VAS) that measured health state. The EQ VAS records the participant's self-rated health on a vertical visual analogue scale ranging from 0 to 100 A single composite score was calculated based on the responses as an indicator of the participant's health status. The scale ranges 0-100, 0=worst health and 100=best health.
