Study investigating new drug, IMC-1121B, in patients with non-small cell lung cancer - recurring or that has spread to other parts of the body. Trial has 4 treatment groups - patients will be assigned to a combination of platinum-based chemotherapy either with or without IMC-1121B. Both patient and doctor willknow the treatment administered.

Inclusion Criteria

1. The patient has histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC. Mixed NSCLC tumors will be categorized by the predominant cell type. NSCLC tumors that are not otherwise specified (NOS) with regard to histology or cannot be sub-classified as squamous, adenocarcinoma, or large cell histology, will be categorized as nonsquamous. Primary or metastatic site may be used for histology. For squamous cell histology or for centrally located mediastinal masses (< 30 mm from the carina) identified by computed tomography scan (CT) or chest X-ray, the patient must undergo a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the chest or I.V. contrast CT scan within 4 weeks of anticipated study entry, to exclude major airway or blood vessel invasion by cancer or intratumor cavitation.
2. The patient has Stage IV NSCLC disease at the time of study entry (based on the American Joint Committee on Cancer [AJCC], 7th ed).
3. The patient has measurable disease at the time of study entry as defined by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1).
4. The patient has resolution to Grade = 1 by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE), Version 4.03, of all clinically significant toxic effects of prior chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy, or hormonal therapy (with the exception of alopecia).
5. The patient has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) score of 0-1.
6. The patient has adequate hematologic function as defined by an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) = 1500/µL (= 1.5 × 10exp9/L), hemoglobin = 9.5 g/dL (= 5.95 mmol/L), and a platelet count = 100,000/µL (= 100 × 10exp9/L) obtained within 2 weeks prior to randomization.
7. The patient has adequate hepatic function as defined by a total bilirubin = 1.5 mg/dL (25.7 µmol/L) (except for known Gilbert’s disease) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) = 5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN) in the presence of liver metastases or = 2.5 x the ULN in the absence of liver metastases obtained, within 2 weeks prior to randomization.
The patient does not have:
- cirrhosis at a level of Child-Pugh B (or worse) or
- cirrhosis (any degree) and a history of hepatic encephalopathy or
clinically meaningful ascites resulting from cirrhosis. Clinically meaningful ascites is defined as ascites resulting from cirrhosis and requiring ongoing treatment with
diuretics and/or paracentesis.
8. The patient has adequate renal function as defined by calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) = 45 mL/min based on the original, weight-based Cockcroft and Gault formula, and urine dipstick or routine urinalysis for protein < 1+ (ie, either 0 or trace) obtained within 2 weeks prior to randomization. If urine dipstick is = 1+, a 24-hour urine for protein must demonstrate < 500 mg of protein 24 hours to allow participation in the study.
9. The patient has adequate coagulation function as defined by international normalized ratio (INR) = 1.5 and a partial thromboplastin time (PTT) = 5 seconds above ULN if not receiving anticoagulation therapy. Patients on full-dose anticoagulation must be on a stable dose of oral anticoagulant or low molecular weight heparin, and if on warfarin must have therapeutic INR and have no active bleeding (14 days prior to randomization) or pathological condition that carries a high risk of bleeding (eg, tumor involving major vessels or known varices).
10. The patient,

Exclusion Criteria

1. The patient’s tumor wholly or partially contains small cell lung cancer.
2. The patient has untreated central nervous system (CNS) metastases. Patients are eligible if they are clinically stable with regard to neurologic function, off all steroids after cranial irradiation (whole brain radiation therapy, focal radiation therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery) ending at least 2 weeks prior to randomization, or after surgical resection performed at least 4 weeks prior to randomization.
3. The patient has a concurrent active malignancy other than adequately treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin or preinvasive carcinoma of the cervix. A patient with previous history of malignancy other than NSCLC is eligible, provided that he/she has been free of disease for = 3 years.
4. The patient has received prior therapy with monoclonal antibodies, signal transduction inhibitors, or any therapies targeting VEGF or VEGFR.
5. The patient is receiving concurrent treatment with other anticancer therapy, including other chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormonal therapy, radiotherapy, chemoembolization, or targeted therapy.
6. The patient has received previous chemotherapy for Stage IV NSCLC (patients who have received adjuvant chemotherapy are eligible if the last administration of the prior adjuvant regimen occurred at least 6 months prior to randomization).
7. The patient has radiologically documented evidence of major blood vessel invasion or encasement by cancer.
8. Regardless of tumor histology, the patient has radiographic evidence of intratumor
cavitation.
9. The patient has undergone chest irradiation within 12 weeks prior to randomization (except palliative irradiation of bone lesions, which is allowed; in the case of focal or palliative radiation treatment to bone, at least 7 days must have elapsed from last radiation treatment prior to randomization provided that 25% or less of total bone marrow had been irradiated).
10. The patient has an ongoing or active clinically significant infection (infection requiring antibiotics), including active tuberculosis or known infection with the human immunodeficiency virus.
