A Study of Carboplatin Plus Etoposide With or Without Atezolizumab in Participants With Untreated Extensive-Stage (ES) Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC)

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Small Cell Lung Carcinoma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02763579
Lead Sponsor
Hoffmann-La Roche
Brief Summary

This randomized, Phase I/III, multicenter, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab (anti-programmed death-ligand 1 \[PD-L1\] antibody) in combination with carboplatin plus (+) etoposide compared with treatment with placebo + carboplatin + etoposide in chemotherapy-naive participants with ES-SCLC. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either atezolizumab + carboplatin + etoposide or placebo + carboplatin + etoposide on 21-day cycles for four cycles in the induction phase followed by maintenance with atezolizumab or placebo until progressive disease (PD) as assessed by the investigator using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1). Treatment can be continued until persistent radiographic PD or symptomatic deterioration.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Duration of Progression-Free Survival (PFS) as Assessed by the Investigator Using RECIST v1.1 in the Global PopulationBaseline until PD or death, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 23 months)

Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as at least 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions compared to baseline, or unequivocal progression in non-target lesion(s), or the appearance of new lesion(s).

Duration of Overall Survival (OS) in the Global PopulationBaseline until death from any cause (up to approximately 23 months)

OS is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Objective response (OR) is defined as complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1.

OS Rate at 1 Year and 2 Years in the Global Population1 year, 2 years

OS rates at 1 and 2 years is defined as the proportion of participants who are alive 1 year and 2 years after randomization, respectively.

Percentage of Participants With at Least One Adverse Event in the Global PopulationBaseline until up to 90 days after end of treatment (up to approximately 49 months)

The percentage of participants with at least one adverse event in the global population.

Plasma Concentration of Carboplatin in the Global PopulationPredose, before end of infusion, and after end of carboplatin infusion on Day 1 of Cycle 1 and Cycle 3 (cycle = 21 days)

Plasma concentration of carboplatin in the Global population.

Duration of Response (DOR) as Assessed by the Investigator Using RECIST v1.1 in the Global PopulationFirst occurrence of PR or CR until PD or death, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 23 months)

DOR is defined as the time interval from first occurrence of a documented objective response to the time of disease progression as determined by the investigator using RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause, whichever comes first.

PFS Rate at 6 Months and at 1 Year in Global Population6 months, 1 year

PFS rates at 6 months and at 1 year is defined as the proportion of participants who are alive without disease progression 6 months and 1 year after randomization, respectively.

Time to Deterioration (TTD) Per European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ) Core 30 (C30) and Supplemental Lung Cancer Module (QLQ-LC13) in the Global PopulationBaseline until deterioration per symptom subscale (up to approximately 23 months)

TTD according to the EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-LC13 measures were evaluated in each of the following linearly transformed symptom scores: cough, dyspnea (single item), dyspnea (multi-item subscale), chest pain, or arm/shoulder pain. The linear transformation gives each individual symptom subscale a possible score of 0 to 100. For the symptom to be considered "deteriorated," a score increase of ≥10 points above baseline must be held for at least two consecutive assessments or an initial score increase of ≥10 points is followed by death within 3 weeks from the last assessment. A ≥ 10-point change in the symptoms subscale score is perceived by participants as clinically significant.
