Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to determine whether Ipilimumab plus Paclitaxel and Carboplatin will extend the life of patients with squamous only non small cell lung cancer more than placebo plus Paclitaxel and Carboplatin.

A participant who died without reported progression per mWHO criteria was considered to have progressed on the date of death. For those participants who remained alive and had not progressed, PFS was censored on the date of last evaluable tumor assessment. For those participants who remained alive and had no recorded post-baseline tumor assessment, PFS was censored on the day of randomization.

Pre-assignment details

342 participants enrolled, 295 were randomized to ipilimumab (148) and placebo arms (147). After chemotherapy, double blinded study treatment, which was the focus of the study, was started.Of all randomized participants, only 98 (ipilimumab arm) and 106 (placebo arm) participants received at least one dose of blinded study therapy.

Outcome results

Primary

Overall Survival (OS) of All Randomized Participants Who Received at Least One Dose of Blinded Study Therapy

OS is defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of death. For those participants who have not died, OS was censored on the last date the participant was known to be alive.

Time frame: Approximately 43 months post study start

Population: All participants who were randomized and received at least 1 dose of blinded study therapy.The sponsor decided to discontinue enrollment and randomization in the study CA184-153 effective 25-Sep-2015. As a result, no data was collected for this primary endpoint
