A Study of Carboplatin, Pemetrexed Plus Placebo vs Carboplatin, Pemetrexed Plus 1 or 2 Truncated Courses of Demcizumab in Subjects With Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Nonsquamous Nonsmall Cell Neoplasm of Lung
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02259582
Lead Sponsor
OncoMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Brief Summary

A randomized, double-blind, 3-arm (1:1:1) study in subjects with first-line Stage IV non-squamous NSCLC. The purpose is to test the efficacy and safety of demcizumab, when given in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed compared to placebo. The administration of carboplatin and pemetrexed is a standard treatment for patients with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer.

Detailed Description

Patients will be enrolled at centers in North America, Western Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Up to 28 days (4 weeks) prior to treatment.

If enrolled in the study, you will receive intravenous (in the vein) infusions of demcizumab (or placebo), carboplatin, and pemetrexed administered on the same day, every 21 days for 4 cycles, or until it has been shown that your cancer has gotten worse. If your physician decides to delay treatment with one of the agents due to side effects, the other agents may still be administered as scheduled. After 4 cycles, if you have stable or improved disease, you will continue to receive pemetrexed once every 21 days as maintenance therapy. After 8 cycles, if you have stable or improved disease, you may receive demcizumab (or placebo), every 21 days for 4 more cycles.

You will undergo assessments every 6 weeks to determine the status of your disease.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To Compare the Investigator-assessed (RECIST) v1.1 Response Rate in the Treatment Arms.Response assessment data was collected until the subject started alternative anti-cancer treatment or developed progressive disease, whichever occurred first, assessed up to approximately 26 months.

Investigator-assessed Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 response rate (unconfirmed) in placebo/placebo arm to demcizumab/placebo arm and demcizumab/demcizumab arm combined in subjects with first-line stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Response rate was based on Investigator-assessed best-overall-response (BOR) and was defined as the best unconfirmed response determined by RECIST version 1.1 recorded from the start of the treatment until disease progression in the following order of importance: CR, PR , SD, progressive disease (PD), not evaluable, or missing.
