Conditions

Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Brief summary

This randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of onartuzumab (MetMAb) in combination with Tarceva (erlotinib) in participants with incurable non-small cell lung cancer identified to be Met diagnostic-positive. Participants will be randomized to receive either onartuzumab (MetMAb) or placebo in combination with erlotinib. Anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

Interventions

DRUGErlotinib

Participants will receive erlotinib 150 mg tablet orally once daily from Day 1, Cycle 1.

Participants will receive onartuzumab 15 mg/kg IV infusion on Day 1 of every 3-week cycle.

DRUGPlacebo

Participants will receive onartuzumab matching placebo on Day 1 of every 3-week cycle.
