Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the number of participants whose cancer shrinks or disappears after treatment on the study.

Detailed description

Participants with Stage IIIb or IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have not received previous chemotherapy will be stratified, based on disease histology (squamous versus \[vs.\] nonsquamous).

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) [Objective Response Rate (ORR)]Randomization to measured progressive disease (PD) (up to 16.9 months)ORR was defined as the percentage of participants achieving either CR or PR. Response was defined using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), version (v) 1.0 criteria. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and the normalization of the tumour marker level. PR was defined as having at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD. Percentage of participants is calculated as a total number of participants with CR or PR / total number of participants treated \* 100.

Overall Survival (OS)Randomization to death due to any cause or censor (up to 30.4 months)OS was defined as the duration from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause. For participants who were alive, OS was censored at the date of last follow-up visit or at the date of last contact.
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)Randomization to PD or death due to any cause or censor (up to 16.9 months)PFS was defined as the duration from the date of randomization until disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Response was defined using RECIST, v 1.0 criteria. PD was defined as having a ≥20% increase in sum of LD of target lesions or the appearance of new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions. For participants who were alive and without disease progression, PFS was censored at the date of last objective tumor assessment. For participants who did not experience disease progression and were lost to follow-up, PFS was censored at the date of the last objective tumor assessment or the date of last contact.
Time To Progression (TTP)Randomization to months until PD or censor (up to 16.9 months)TTP was defined as the duration from the date of randomization until the date of disease progression. Response was defined using RECIST v 1.0 criteria. PD was defined as having a ≥20% increase in the sum of LD of target lesions or the appearance of new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions. For participants without disease progression, TTP was censored at the date of last objective tumor assessment. For participants without disease progression and were subsequently lost to follow-up, TTP was censored at the date of last follow-up visit or at the date of last contact.
Duration of ResponseDate of first response to the date of PD or death due to any cause or censor ( up to 15.5 months)The duration of CR or PR was defined as the time from first objective status assessment of CR or PR to the first time of disease progression or death. Response was defined using RECIST v 1.0 criteria. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions and non-target lesions. PR was defined as having at least a 30% decrease in sum of LD of target lesions. Duration of response was censored on the date of last tumor assessment for participants who were alive and have no evidence of disease progression.

ORR was defined as the percentage of participants achieving either CR or PR. Response was defined using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), version (v) 1.0 criteria. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and the normalization of the tumour marker level. PR was defined as having at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD. Percentage of participants is calculated as a total number of participants with CR or PR / total number of participants treated \* 100.

Population: All participants randomized to GCiC and GCiC Plus Cixutumumab arms. Efficacy data were not summarized for the original treatment arms (GCC and GCC Plus Cixutumumab) since such summaries were not considered relevant to the study objectives under the amended protocol.
