Brief summary

Primary objective: To assess the efficacy of various sequences of either a small molecule or an IMT (IMT-A) followed by a IMT-B (MEDI4736) .

Detailed description

This is a multi-arm, multi-cohort, Phase IIa, open-label study of selected small molecules (gefitinib, AZD9291, or selumetinib + docetaxel) or 1st IMT (hereafter referred to as IMT-A; tremelimumab) followed by sequential switch to a 2nd IMT (hereafter referred to as IMT-B; MEDI4736) in locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC (Stage IIIB-IV). Patients will be enrolled concurrently into multiple cohorts.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Confirmed Complete Response (CR) RateUp to 2 yearsTo assess the efficacy of various sequences. CR (per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the local/site Investigator) is defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. Confirmed complete response rate (CR rate) is defined as the number (%) of patients with a confirmed overall response of CR and was based on the evaluable analysis set.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Objective Response Rate (ORR)Up to 2 yearsTo further assess the efficacy of various sequences. Objective response rate (ORR; per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the site Investigator) is defined as the number (%) of patients with a confirmed overall response of CR or PR and was based on the evaluable analysis set. Per RECIST v1.0 for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.
Progression-free SurvivalUp to 2 yearsProgression-free survival (per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by Investigator) is defined as the date of 1st dose of MEDI4736 until the date of objective disease progression or death. Progression of disease (PD) At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of TLs, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm.
Duration of ResponseWithin 12 monthsDuration of response (DoR; per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the site Investigator) will be defined as the time from the date of 1st documented response (which is subsequently confirmed) until the 1st date of documented progression or death in the absence of disease progression.
Overall SurvivalUp to 2 yearsTo assess the efficacy of various sequences. In survival follow up at data cut off.

Recruitment details

This study was conducted at 10 study centers in United States. The first subject was enrolled on 25 July 2014.

Pre-assignment details

Due to the small numbers of patients treated in Cohorts A through C (gefitinib, AZD9291, or selumetinib + docetaxel), statistical analyses were only done and summary tables prepared for the 28 patients randomised to Cohort D (tremelimumab, either 1-cycle or 2-cycles).

Confirmed Complete Response (CR) Rate

To assess the efficacy of various sequences. CR (per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the local/site Investigator) is defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. Confirmed complete response rate (CR rate) is defined as the number (%) of patients with a confirmed overall response of CR and was based on the evaluable analysis set.

Time frame: Up to 2 years

Population: Per the analysis plan, efficacy would not be analyzed for treatment groups that did not have a sufficient number of enrolled patients.

Duration of Response

Duration of response (DoR; per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the site Investigator) will be defined as the time from the date of 1st documented response (which is subsequently confirmed) until the 1st date of documented progression or death in the absence of disease progression.

Time frame: Within 12 months

Population: Per the analysis plan, efficacy would not be analyzed for treatment groups that did not have a sufficient number of enrolled patients. Response was observed for 1 patient in the Tremelimumab 1-cycle arm for up to and including 6 months.
