Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the addition of veliparib plus carboplatin and paclitaxel versus the addition of placebo plus carboplatin and paclitaxel in adults with advanced or metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Interventions

DRUGCarboplatin

Carboplatin administered intravenously over approximately 15 to 30 minutes at (AUC 6 mg/mL/min) immediately following paclitaxel infusion.

DRUGVeliparib

Capsules taken orally twice a day, 12 hours apart.

DRUGPaclitaxel

Paclitaxel administered intravenously over 3 hours at a dose of 200 mg/m².

Capsules taken orally twice a day, 12 hours apart.

Inclusion criteria

1. Life expectancy \> 12 weeks 2. Subject must have cytologically or histologically confirmed squamous NSCLC. 3. Subject must have advanced or metastatic squamous NSCLC that is not amenable to surgical resection or radiation with curative intent at time of study Screening. 4. Subjects with recurrent squamous NSCLC after surgical treatment that is not amenable to surgical resection or radiation with curative intent are eligible. 5. Subject must have at least 1 unidimensional measurable NSCLC lesion on a computerized tomography (CT) scan as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST - version 1.1).

Exclusion criteria

Subject has peripheral neuropathy \>= grade 2. 4. Subject has non-squamous NSCLC, or a known epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation of exon 19 deletion or L858R mutation in exon 21, or a known anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene rearrangement. 5. Subject has received prior cytotoxic chemotherapy (including definitive chemoradiotherapy) for NSCLC, except for adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Survival (OS) in current smokersUp to 3 years from first dose of study drugTime to death for a given subject will be defined as the number of days from the date that the subject was randomized to the date of the subject's death.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Survival (OS) in all subjectsUp to 3 years from first dose of study drugTime to death for a given subject will be defined as the number of days from the date that the subject was randomized to the date of the subject's death.
Progressive-Free Survival (PFS) in current smokers and in all subjectsUp to 3 years from first dose of study drugDefined as the number of days from the date that the subject was randomized to the date the subject experiences an event of disease progression or to the date of death (all causes of mortality) if disease progression is not reached.
Objective Response Rate (ORR) in current smokers and in all subjectsUp to 3 years from first dose of study drugObjective response rate is defined as the proportion of subjects with complete or partial response as determined by the investigator per RECIST (version 1.1)
