- Conditions
- Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT05791097
- Lead Sponsor
- Novartis Pharmaceuticals
- Brief Summary
The primary scientific question of interest is whether the addition of ociperlimab to platinum-based chemotherapy and tislelizumab improve progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS) compared to pembrolizumab and platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line therapy for participants with locally advanced or metastatic squamous or non-squamous NSCLC with PD-L1 expression of ≥1%.
- Detailed Description
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, multicenter, phase III study evaluating the efficacy and safety of ociperlimab in combination with tislelizumab and platinum-based doublet chemotherapy as first-line treatment for participants with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC without actionable driver mutations.
Participants will receive study treatment every three weeks and will continue to receive it until RECIST 1.1 disease progression as determined by Investigator and confirmed by BIRC, unacceptable toxicity that precludes further treatment, treatment is discontinued at the discretion of the Investigator or participant, participant withdrawal of consent, pregnancy, lost to follow-up, or death.

Time to definitive 10-point deterioration in physical and role functioning on the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire Up to 30 months The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire developed to assess the health-related quality of life of cancer participants. It assesses 15 domains consisting of 5 functional domains (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, social) and 9 symptom domains (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, financial difficulties) and a global health status/quality of life (QoL) scale. All of the domain scores range from 0 to 100. A high score for a functional scale indicates a high and healthy level of functioning but a high score for a symptom scale indicates a high level of symptoms.
The time to definitive 10 point deterioration of physical functioning and role functioning is defined as the time from the date of randomization to first onset of ≥10 points increase from baseline (worsening) of the corresponding scale score, with no later change below this threshold or death due to any cause.Time to confirmed 10-point deterioration in physical and role functioning on the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire Up to 30 months The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire developed to assess the health-related quality of life of cancer participants.

EQ-5D-5L consists of two components: a health state profile and an optional visual analogue scale (VAS). EQ-5D health state profile is comprised of 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: 1= no problems, 2= slight problems, 3= moderate problems, 4= severe problems, and 5= extreme problems. Higher scores indicated greater levels of problems across each of the five dimensions.
Time to definitive deterioration of the ECOG performance status Up to 30 months Time to definitive deterioration of the ECOG PS by one category of the score. The ECOG PS is a measure of functional status. It ranges from 0 to 5, with 0 denoting perfect health and 5 death. A deterioration is considered definitive if no improvements in the ECOG PS status is observed at any subsequent time of measurement during the treatment period following the time point where the deterioration is observed.
