Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The objectives of this study are to assess the antitumor activity and safety of Imprime PGG® Injections (Imprime PGG) when used in combination with a monoclonal antibody and concomitant chemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary objective is: • To determine the objective response rate (ORR) in each arm;Secondary Objective: • To determine the disease control rate (DCR) in each study arm • To determine the overall survival (OS) in each study arm • To determine the complete response (CR), partial response (PR), and stable disease (SD) rates in each study arm • To determine the duration of objective tumor response in each study arm • To determine the duration of stable disease in each study arm • To determine the duration of time to progression (TTP) in each study arm • To assess the safety of the dosing regimen in each study arm • To determine the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of Imprime PGG (in active treatment arm only) ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint of this study is: • Objective response rate (ORR) in each study arm;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Subjects will initially be eligible to receive up to 18 cycles of treatment. With each treatment cycle lasting 3 weeks, the maximum duration of treatment will be 54 weeks, without a treatment extension being authorized by the Sponsor. Patients who continue to experience a stable, partial or complete response (according to RECIST 1.0) following completion of the 18th treatment cycle, will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the investigator, the Medical Monitor and the study Sponsor to determine eligibility for extending their treatment under this protocol.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The secondary objectives of this study are: o To determine the disease control rate (DCR) in each study arm o To determine the overall survival (OS) in each study arm o To determine the complete response (CR), partial response (PR), and stable disease (SD) rates in each study arm o To determine the duration of objective tumor response in each study arm o To determine the duration of stable disease in each study arm o To determine the duration of time to progression (TTP) in each study arm o To assess the safety of the dosing regimen within each study arm o To determine the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of Imprime PGG (in active treatment arm only);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Subjects will initially be eligible to receive up to 18 cycles of treatment. With each treatment cycle lasting 3 weeks, the maximum duration of treatment will be 54 weeks, without a treatment extension being authorized by the Sponsor. Patients who continue to experience a stable, partial or complete response (according to RECIST 1.0) following completion of the 18th treatment cycle, will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the investigator, the Medical Monitor and the study Sponsor to determine eligibility for extending their treatment under this protocol.
