Stage IIIB Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, Stage IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Brief summary

This randomized pilot clinical trial studies the side effects and best dose of naloxegol and to see how well it works in treating patients with stage IIIB-IV non-small cell lung cancer. Naloxegol may relieve some of the side effects of opioid pain medication and fight off future growth in the cancer.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine feasibility and safety of long-term administration of two doses of a peripheral opioid receptor antagonist in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving first-line systemic therapy. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To explore whether patients randomized to one or both of the two study drug arms have less decline in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) than patients randomized to placebo. II. To estimate the difference in the pain levels and opioid/non-opioid analgesic requirements between patients receiving naloxegol or placebo. III. To estimate the difference in the adverse peripheral effects of opioids (e.g. constipation, nausea/emesis, dry mouth and urinary retention) between patients receiving naloxegol or placebo. IV. To explore whether there is a signal that naloxegol may be associated with longer progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). V. To evaluate the difference in discontinuation rate of systemic therapy due to adverse events (AEs) and deaths attributable to systemic therapy. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in Lung Cancer Subscale of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-LungBaseline to 6 monthsHealth-related quality of life scores at each timepoint and changes in scores between 6 months and baseline will be summarized by mean standard deviation, median (inter-quartile range). Scores will be plotted to explore the pattern over time and to examine differences between treatment arms. Differences in health-related quality of life between the treatment arms and the placebo arm will be conducted through linear mixed models and growth curve models to account for repeated assessments. Lung cancer subscale score is 0-36 with 0 being the worst and 36 being the best.
Patient-reported Outcome Assessed by Patient-Reported Outcome-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse EventsUp to 2 yearsPatient-Reported Outcome-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events items will be summarized by arm. Patient-Reported Outcome-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events response will be compared between the treatment arms vs. placebo arm using a chi-square test or Fisher's exact test as appropriate. Chosen PRO-CTCAE question is In the last 7 days, what was the SEVERITY of your PAIN IN THE ABDOMEN (BELLY AREA) at its WORST?

Opioid-induced constipation rating scale will be summarized by arm. Scores will be compared between treatment arms vs. placebo arm using Wilcoxon test. Question from Bowel Function Diary is In the past 24 hours, how much pain did you feel in your abdomen because of constipation?. Opioid-induced constipation rating scale is from 0-6, with 0 being none and 6 being very severe.

Time frame: Baseline to 6 months

Overall Survival

Overall survival probabilities will be estimated by arm using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. In an exploratory manner, a Cox proportional hazards model will be used to determine the effect of naloxegol on overall survival.

Time frame: From randomization to death or loss to follow-up, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 2 years

Patient-reported Outcome Assessed by a Urinary Retention Linear Analogue Self-Assessment

Linear Analogue Self-Assessment items will be summarized by arm. Linear Analogue Self-Assessment scores will be compared between treatment arms versus placebo arm using Wilcoxon test. Linear Analogue Self-Assessment score is 0-10, with 0 being no trouble with ability to urinate easily and 10 being worst trouble with ability to urinate easily.

Time frame: Baseline to 6 months

Patient-reported Outcome Assessed by Patient-Reported Outcome-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events

Patient-Reported Outcome-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events items will be summarized by arm. Patient-Reported Outcome-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events response will be compared between the treatment arms vs. placebo arm using a chi-square test or Fisher's exact test as appropriate. Chosen PRO-CTCAE question is In the last 7 days, what was the SEVERITY of your PAIN IN THE ABDOMEN (BELLY AREA) at its WORST?

Progression-free Survival Assessed by Using the Standard Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 Criteria

Progression-free survival probabilities will be estimated by arm using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. In an exploratory manner, a Cox proportional hazards model will be used to determine the effect of naloxegol on progression-free survival.

Time frame: From randomization to disease progression/relapse, death, or loss to follow-up, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 2 years

Prognostic Effect of MOR Expression/Interaction on Health-related Quality of Life

The protocol-defined analysis for this secondary endpoint was not performed due to being a correlative endpoint and not being collected in the data. MOR expression and activation will be included as a covariate in the linear mixed model, an interaction between MOR expression/activation and treatment will be evaluated.

Time frame: Up to 2 years
