Evaluation of safety and efficacy of DCVAC/LuCa (immunotherapy of lung cancer) in patients with metastatic lung cancer

A phase I/II study to evaluate safety and efficacy of DCVAC/LuCa added to standard first line chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel +/- immune enhancers (interferon-a and hydroxychloroquine) vs chemotherapy alone in patients with Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To compare efficacy of DCVAC/LuCa + chemotherapy without immune enhancers vs. chemotherapy alone in patients with stage IV NSCLC, as measured by overall survival (OS).;Secondary Objective: • Comparison of PFS in patients treated with DCVAC/LuCa + chemotherapy without immune enhancers vs. chemotherapy alone. • Comparison of safety in patients treated with DCVAC/LuCa + chemotherapy without immune enhancers vs. chemotherapy alone. • Further comparison of efficacy of DCVAC/LuCa + chemotherapy without immune enhancers vs. chemotherapy alone, as measured by objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (per RECIST 1.1) ;Primary end point(s): OS defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The primary efficacy analysis will be performed approximately 12 months after the last patient randomization.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): PFS Safety parameters as AEs, SAEs, laboratory abnormalities, vital signs ORR and duration of response (per RECIST 1.1) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The primary efficacy analysis will be performed approximately 12 months after the last patient randomization.
