Brief summary

A study to assess the Effects of MEDI4736 (Durvalumab) in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non Small Cell Lung Cancer in terms of efficacy, safety and tolerability

Detailed description

This study is designed to investigate the efficacy, safety, tolerability of a new drug, MEDI4736 (Durvalumab), in patients with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non Small Cell Lung Cancer. MEDI4736 will be investigated in patients who have received at least two prior treatment regimens including one platinum-based chemotherapy

Interventions

DRUGMEDI4736

MEDI4736 (durvalumab) by intravenous infusion every two weeks. Treatment from Day 1 for a maximum of 12 months or study drug withdrawal if this occurs earlier. Patients who achieve CR, PR or SD through the end of the initial 12-month treatment period can restart treatment with MEDI4736 (durvalumab) when they eventually do progress. This retreatment period can continue for as long as the investigator considers to patient to be receiving clinical benefit.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Objective Response Rate (ORR)Responses recorded during initial 12 month treatment period (up to primary analysis DCO)Patients commenced treatment with durvalumab on Day 1 and continued on a Q2W schedule for a maximum of 12 months. Tumor assessments using computed tomography / magnetic resonance imaging were performed every 8 weeks. Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) measurements as given by the Independent Central Review (ICR) were used to derive the primary variable of ORR .

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Time to Response (TTR)Responses recorded during initial 12 month treatment period (up to primary analysis DCO)TTR (per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the ICR) is defined as the time from the date of first dose until the date of first documented response (which is subsequently confirmed). TTR was only analyzed for Cohort 2.
Duration of Response (DoR)Time from response to progression, death, or last assessment (up to approximately 2 years 3 months for the primary analysis DCO)DoR (per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the ICR) was defined as the time from the date of first documented response (which was subsequently confirmed) until the first date of documented progression or death in the absence of disease progression (ie, date of PFS event or censoring - date of first response + 1). DoR was only analyzed for Cohort 2. Cohort 2: Median DoR was 12.3 months in the PD-L1 high (TC\>=25%) group at DCO (Q3 was NR). Of the 7 evaluable patients, the median DoR was not reached in the PD-L1 low/neg group (TC \<25%); therefore the DoR "number of participants analyzed" field has been entered as "0" and the DoR results field has been left blank.
Overall Survival (OS)From date of first treatment until final DCO (up to approximately 3 years 8 months)OS was defined as the time from the date of first dose until death due to any cause (ie, date of death or censoring - date of first dose + 1). Results are reported as median OS, calculated using the Kaplan-Meier methodology.

Recruitment details

First patient in: 25 Feb 2014; Last patient in: 28 Dec 2015. Primary Analysis data cut-off (DCO): 03 Jun 2016; Final Analysis DCO: 7 Nov 2017. Patients were treated with durvalumab (10 milligrams \[mg\] / kilogram \[kg\] every 2 weeks \[Q2W\] intravenously \[iv\]). 101 sites in 16 countries treated patients in this study.

Pre-assignment details

Patients were enrolled in 3 cohorts. Cohort enrolment was dependent upon epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) / anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) status and programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression level (percent of tumor cells \[TC\] with membrane staining).

Outcome results

Primary

Objective Response Rate (ORR)

Patients commenced treatment with durvalumab on Day 1 and continued on a Q2W schedule for a maximum of 12 months. Tumor assessments using computed tomography / magnetic resonance imaging were performed every 8 weeks. Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) measurements as given by the Independent Central Review (ICR) were used to derive the primary variable of ORR .

Time frame: Responses recorded during initial 12 month treatment period (up to primary analysis DCO)

Population: The Full analysis set \[FAS\] - evaluable for response per ICR set, included all treated patients who had a baseline tumor assessment and had measurable disease at baseline according to the ICR.

DoR (per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the ICR) was defined as the time from the date of first documented response (which was subsequently confirmed) until the first date of documented progression or death in the absence of disease progression (ie, date of PFS event or censoring - date of first response + 1). DoR was only analyzed for Cohort 2. Cohort 2: Median DoR was 12.3 months in the PD-L1 high (TC\>=25%) group at DCO (Q3 was NR).
