PDR001 in Combination With Platinum-doublet Chemotherapy and Other Immunology Agents in PD-L1 Unselected, Metastatic NSCLC Patients

Registration Number
NCT03064854
Lead Sponsor
Novartis Pharmaceuticals
Brief Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended dose for expansion (RDE) of PDR001 when administered in combination with platinum-doublet chemotherapy and other immunooncology agent(s) in treatment naive patients with PD-L1 unselected, advanced NSCLC, and to estimate the preliminary anti-tumor activity in this patient population.

Inclusion Criteria
  1. Patient has stage IIIB (and is not a candidate for definitive multimodality therapy) or has stage IV NSCLC or relapsed locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC as follows:

    1. Group A, group B and group C only: Patients not previously treated with any systemic anti-cancer therapy (e.g. cytotoxic drugs, targeted therapy, monoclonal antibody therapy including immunotherapy (e.g. PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors) or targeted therapies, either experimental or not), with exception of neo-adjuvant or adjuvant therapy as depicted in inclusion criterion 4.
    2. Group D only: Patients who have received only one prior systemic therapy treatment consisting of a PD-1 and/or PD-L1 inhibitor with or without a CTLA4 inhibitor for NSCLC, with exception of neo-adjuvant or adjuvant therapy as depicted in inclusion criterion 4. The last dose of prior immunotherapy must have been administered at least 6 weeks prior to the start of study treatment (cycle 1 day 1).
  2. Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC that is EGFR Wild-type, ALK-negative rearrangement and ROS1-negative rearrangement

  3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1

  4. Patients with at least 1 measurable tumor lesion as assessed by Computed Tomography (CT) Scan or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) according to RECIST 1.1.

Main

Exclusion Criteria
  1. Patient with a history of severe hypersensitivity reaction to the planned study treatment including gemcitabine, paclitaxel, cisplatin, carboplatin, pemetrexed or any known excipients of these drugs
  2. History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to other monoclonal antibodies, which in the opinion of the investigator may pose an increased risk of serious infusion reaction.
  3. Patient has history of interstitial lung disease or interstitial pneumonitis, including clinically significant radiation pneumonitis (i.e., affecting activities of daily living or requiring therapeutic intervention).
  4. History of leptomeningeal metastases
  5. Active, known or suspected autoimmune disease or a documented history of autoimmune disease, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease (Patients with vitiligo, type I diabetes mellitus, residual hypothyroidism due to autoimmune condition only requiring hormone replacement, psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment, or conditions not expected to recur in the absence of an external trigger are permitted to enroll).
  6. Use of any live vaccines against infectious diseases within 4 weeks of initiation of study treatment

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) during the first 6 weeks of therapy42 days

A dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is defined as an adverse event or abnormal laboratory value assessed as unrelated to disease, disease progression, inter-current illness, or concomitant medications that occurs within the first 42 days

Overall response rate (ORR) per local investigator assessment for groups A, B and CFrom baseline up to approximately 28 months

ORR is defined as the proportion of patients with best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as per RECIST 1.1 and local investigator assessment for groups A, B and C

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Canakinumab ADA incidence during treatmentPre-infusion on Day 1 of Cycle 1 and 4 of induction phase, pre-infusion on Day 1 of Cycle 6, 14 and 20 of maintenance phase, end of treatment and 30 and 150-day post-treatment

Blood samples will be collected at indicated time points for immunogenicity analysis.

Disease Control Rate (DCR) per InvestigatorUp to approximately 28 months

DCR is the proportion of patients with a BOR of CR or PR or stable disease (SD), as per RECIST 1.1 and local investigator assessment.

Duration of Response (DOR) per InvestigatorFrom date of first documented response to the first documented progression or death due to any cause, whichever comes first, assessed up to approximately 28 months

DOR is defined by responders as the time between the date of first documented response (CR or PR) and the date of first documented progression (RECIST 1.1 and local investigator assessment) or death due any cause

Overall Response Rate (ORR) per local investigator assessment for group EUp to approximately 28 months

ORR is defined as the proportion of patients with BOR of CR or PR, as per RECIST 1.1 and local investigator assessment for group E

Trough plasma Concentration (Ctrough) of canakinumabPre-infusion on Day 1 of Cycle 1, 3 and 4 of induction phase; Cycle = 21 Days

Blood samples will be collected at indicated time points for pharmacokinetic analysis.

Overall survival (OS)from date of start of treatment to date of death due to any cause (assessed up to approximately 3.5 years)

OS is defined as the time from date of start of treatment to date of death due to any cause.

Progression Free Survival (PFS) per InvestigatorFrom start of treatment to the date of the first documented progression or death due to any cause, whichever comes first, assessed up to approximately 28 months

PFS is defined as the time from the date of start of treatment to the date of the first documented progression or death due to any cause, as per RECIST 1.1 and local investigator assessment

Time to Response (TTR) per InvestigatorFrom start of treatment to the date of the first documented reponse (CR or PR), assessed up to approximately 28 months

TTR is defined as the time from the date of start of treatment to the first documented response of either CR or PR as per RECIST 1.1 and local investigator assessment

PDR001 Antidrug antibodies (ADA) prevalence at baselineBaseline

Blood samples will be collected at indicated time points for immunogenicity analysis.
