Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
This study will compare progression-free survival in patients with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. Patients who do not progress following 4 cycles of induction treatment with pemetrexed and cisplatin will be randomized 2:1 to receive either maintenance pemetrexed or placebo.
Interventions
Induction therapy: 500 mg/m\^2, intravenous (IV), on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for 4 cycles
Induction therapy: Cisplatin: 75 mg/m\^2, IV, on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for 4 cycles
Maintenance therapy: Normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride) administered IV on Day 1 every 21-day cycle until progressive disease or treatment discontinuation
Best Supportive Care is treatment given with the intent to maximize quality of life. Best Supportive Care excludes any treatment in which the goal is to cure or slow the progression of the study disease. Patients will receive Best Supportive Care as judged by their treating physician. Those therapies considered acceptable include, but are not limited to, palliative radiation to extrathoracic structures, antibiotics, analgesics, antiemetics, thoracentesis, pleurodesis, blood transfusions, and/or nutritional support (enteral or parenteral).

Exclusion criteria
for the Induction Phase: * You cannot have squamous cell and/or mixed small cell, non-small cell lung cancer * You cannot have received other investigational drugs within the last 30 days of entering the trial. * You cannot have previously completed or withdrawn from this study or any other study investigating pemetrexed. * You cannot have other serious on-going illnesses including active infections. * You cannot have a serious cardiac condition, such as a heart attack, angina, or heart disease within 6 months of entering the trial. * You cannot have had another form of cancer other than superficial basal cell and superficial squamous (skin) cell cancer, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix within the last 5 years. Patients with a history of low-grade (Gleason score less than or equal to 6) localized prostate cancer will be eligible even if diagnosed less than 5 years ago. * You cannot have known central nervous system (CNS) metastases, other than treated, stable brain metastasis. * You cannot be receiving nor have received any prior systemic anticancer therapy for lung cancer (including chemotherapy given after surgery in early-stage treatment). * You cannot have clinically significant third-space fluid collections (e.g. ascites or pleural effusions that cannot be controlled by drainage or other procedures). * You cannot have received a recent (within 30 days) or are receiving a yellow fever vaccination. * You are unable to stop taking more than 1.3 grams of aspirin on a daily basis or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). * You are unable or unwilling to take folic acid, injections of vitamin B12, or corticosteroids. * You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding. Inclusion criteria at Randomization for the Maintenance Phase: * You must at least be able to be physically mobile, take care of yourself, and must be up and about and able to perform light activities such as light housework or office work. * You must have documented radiographic evidence of a tumor response of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guidelines. Tumor assessment must occur between Cycle 4 (Day 1) of induction therapy and the date of randomization. This response does not have to be confirmed in order for the patient to be randomized to the maintenance phase.

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Investigator-assessed Objective Progression-free Survival (PFS) | Date of randomization to the date of measured PD or date of death from any cause (up to 19.3 months) | Investigator-assessed objective PFS was measured from the date of randomization to the first date of objectively determined progressive disease (PD) or death from any cause. For patients not known to have died as of the data cutoff date and who did not have objective PD, PFS was censored at the date of last objective tumor assessment. PD was determined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. PD = 20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions. |

PFS was measured from the date of randomization to the first date of objectively determined PD or death. For patients alive as of the data cutoff date and who did not have PD, PFS was censored at the date of the last objective tumor assessment. PD was determined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. PD = 20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions. |

Outcome results
Investigator-assessed Objective Progression-free Survival (PFS)
Investigator-assessed objective PFS was measured from the date of randomization to the first date of objectively determined progressive disease (PD) or death from any cause. For patients not known to have died as of the data cutoff date and who did not have objective PD, PFS was censored at the date of last objective tumor assessment. PD was determined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. PD = 20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions.
Time frame: Date of randomization to the date of measured PD or date of death from any cause (up to 19.3 months)
Population: All randomized participants
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEDIAN) |
|---|---|---|
| Pemetrexed + Cisplatin Followed by Maintenance Pemetrexed | Investigator-assessed Objective Progression-free Survival (PFS) | 4.11 months |
| Pemetrexed + Cisplatin Followed by Placebo | Investigator-assessed Objective Progression-free Survival (PFS) | 2.83 months |
Change From Baseline in EuroQol Instrument (EQ-5D) Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
Patients indicate their present health state through completion of the VAS. Possible scores range from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state).
Time frame: Baseline randomization through 30-day post-discontinuation visit (up to 19.3 months)
Population: Participants who were randomized and completed the EQ-5D at baseline and at least once post-baseline. For Cycle 17 and 18, there is no data available for the pemetrexed + cisplatin followed by placebo arm. No participants completed so zero participants were analyzed.

Independently-assessed Objective Progression-free Survival (PFS)
To further evaluate the robustness of the PFS analysis, Lilly established an independent review of PFS to assess the potential for investigator bias in the determination of objective PD. PFS was measured from the date of randomization to the first date of objectively determined PD or death. For patients alive as of the data cutoff date and who did not have PD, PFS was censored at the date of the last objective tumor assessment. PD was determined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. PD = 20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions.
Time frame: Date of randomization to first date of measured PD or date of death from any cause (up to 19.3 months)
Population: Randomized participants with reviewable scan--(316/359 \[88%\] Maintenance arm and 156/180 \[87%\] Placebo comparator arm. The majority of unread scans (12.4%) were due to participants not completing 1 cycle of treatment by the data cutoff date (30 June 2010).
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEDIAN) |
|---|---|---|
| Pemetrexed + Cisplatin Followed by Maintenance Pemetrexed | Independently-assessed Objective Progression-free Survival (PFS) | 3.94 months |
| Pemetrexed + Cisplatin Followed by Placebo | Independently-assessed Objective Progression-free Survival (PFS) | 2.60 months |
Overall Survival (OS)
OS is the duration from enrollment to death. For patients who are alive, OS is censored at the last contact.
Time frame: Date of randomization to the date of death from any cause up to 39.5 months
Population: All randomized participants. In the Pemetrexed maintenance arm 103 (28.7%) participants were censored and in the Placebo maintenance arm 39 (21.7%) participants were censored.

|---|---|---|
| Pemetrexed + Cisplatin Followed by Maintenance Pemetrexed | Overall Survival (OS) | 13.86 months |
