Brief summary
The purpose of the study was to determine whether the combination of aflibercept, pemetrexed and cisplatin is safe and effective in treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Detailed description
The study was conducted in two phases. In phase 1, patients with advanced cancer received different doses of aflibercept in combination with approved doses of pemetrexed and cisplatin. The objective of phase 1 was to determine the safest dose of the combined study medications. This dose was administered to patients with previously untreated NSCLC in phase 2. The phase 2 portion of the study determined if the combination is effective in treating NSCLC.
Interventions
Administered in combination with the other two interventions via intravenous infusion.

Phase 1 and 2: Total Body Clearance of Aflibercept
Clearance of a drug was a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes.
Time frame: Phase 1 and 2: Pre-dose up to Day 22 post-dose
Population: FAS included all participants who were enrolled and received at least one dose of study drug. Here Overall number of participants analyzed signifies participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure.
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1: All Participants | Phase 1 and 2: Total Body Clearance of Aflibercept | 0.011 Liter/Day/kg | Standard Deviation 0.004 |
| Phase 1: Aflibercept 4 mg/kg and Pemetrexed and Cisplatin | Phase 1 and 2: Total Body Clearance of Aflibercept | 0.016 Liter/Day/kg | Standard Deviation 0.007 |
| Phase 1: Aflibercept 6 mg/kg and Pemetrexed and Cisplatin | Phase 1 and 2: Total Body Clearance of Aflibercept | 0.016 Liter/Day/kg | Standard Deviation 0.009 |
| Phase 2: Aflibercept 6 mg/kg and Pemetrexed and Cisplatin | Phase 1 and 2: Total Body Clearance of Aflibercept | 0.016 Liter/Day/kg | Standard Deviation 0.004 |
Phase 1 and 2: Total Body Clearance of Pemetrexed
Clearance of a drug was a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes.
Time frame: Phase 1 and 2: Pre-dose up to Day 1 post-dose, Day 2 post-dose (only in Phase 1)
Population: FAS included all participants who were enrolled and received at least one dose of study drug. Here Overall number of participants analyzed signifies participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure.
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1: All Participants | Phase 1 and 2: Total Body Clearance of Pemetrexed | 3.40 Liter/hour/m^2 | Standard Deviation 0.59 |
| Phase 1: Aflibercept 4 mg/kg and Pemetrexed and Cisplatin | Phase 1 and 2: Total Body Clearance of Pemetrexed | 3.47 Liter/hour/m^2 | Standard Deviation 0.84 |
| Phase 1: Aflibercept 6 mg/kg and Pemetrexed and Cisplatin | Phase 1 and 2: Total Body Clearance of Pemetrexed | 3.10 Liter/hour/m^2 | Standard Deviation 0.22 |
| Phase 2: Aflibercept 6 mg/kg and Pemetrexed and Cisplatin | Phase 1 and 2: Total Body Clearance of Pemetrexed | 3.49 Liter/hour/m^2 | Standard Deviation 0.76 |
Phase 2: Objective Response Rate
Objective response rate was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as assessed by modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). CR was defined as disappearance of all target lesions and PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking the Baseline sum LD as reference.
Time frame: Phase 2: Baseline (Day 421) up to end of study (Day 972)
Population: FAS included all participants who were enrolled and received at least one dose of study drug.
| Arm | Measure | Value (NUMBER) |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1: All Participants | Phase 2: Objective Response Rate | 23.8 Percentage of Participants |
Phase 2: Progression-free Survival (PFS)
PFS was defined as the time in days from the date of first study drug administration to the date of first documentation of tumor progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, as assessed by the modified RECIST. Median time of PFS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method.
Time frame: Phase 2: Baseline (Day 421) up to end of study (Day 972)
Population: FAS included all participants who were enrolled and received at least one dose of study drug.
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEDIAN) |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1: All Participants | Phase 2: Progression-free Survival (PFS) | 149 Days |
