Brief summary

This is a randomized, open-label, multi-center, global, Phase III study to determine the efficacy and safety of durvalumab + tremelimumab combination therapy + Standard of care (SoC) chemotherapy or durvalumab monotherapy + SoC chemotherapy versus SoC chemotherapy alone as first line treatment in patients with metastatic non small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with tumors that lack activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusions.

Detailed description

Adult patients with a histologically or cytologically documented metastatic NSCLC, with tumors that lack activating EGFR mutations and ALK fusions, are eligible for enrollment. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive treatment with durvalumab + tremelimumab combination therapy + SoC chemotherapy, durvalumab monotherapy + SoC chemotherapy, or SoC chemotherapy alone. Tumor evaluation scans will be performed until objective disease progression as efficacy assessment. All patients will be followed for survival until the end of the study. An independent data monitoring committee (IDMC) composed of independent experts will be convened to confirm the safety and tolerability of the proposed dose and schedule.

Time to Deterioration of Global Health Status / Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) and Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) Symptoms, Assessed Using European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ)At baseline, Weeks 3, 6, 9, 12, 16 and 20, then Q4W until PD, on Day 28 and 2 months post-PD, then every 8 weeks until second progression/death (whichever came first). Assessed until global cohort DCO of 12 March 2021 (maximum of approximately 45 months).The EORTC QLQ-Core 30 version 3 (QLQ-C30 v3) was included for assessing HRQoL. It assesses HRQoL/health status through 9 multi-item scales: 5 functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), 3 symptom scales (fatigue, pain, and nausea and vomiting), and a global health and QoL scale. 6 single-item symptom measures are also included: dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties. Scores from 0 to 100 were derived for each of the 15 domains, with higher scores representing greater functioning, greater HRQoL, or greater level of symptoms. Time to deterioration was defined as time from randomization until the date of first clinically meaningful deterioration that was confirmed at a subsequent visit or death (by any cause) in the absence of a clinically meaningful deterioration.
Time to Deterioration of PRO Symptoms, Assessed Using EORTC QLQ-Lung Cancer Module 13 (QLQ-LC13)At baseline, Weeks 3, 6, 9, 12, 16 and 20, then Q4W until PD, on Day 28 and 2 months post-PD, then every 8 weeks until second progression/death (whichever came first). Assessed until global cohort DCO of 12 March 2021 (maximum of approximately 45 months).The EORTC QLQ-LC13 is a disease-specific 13-item self-administered questionnaire for lung cancer, to be used in conjunction with the EORTC QLQ-C30. It comprises both multi-item and single-item measures of lung cancer-associated symptoms (ie, coughing, hemoptysis, dyspnea, and pain) and treatment-related symptoms from conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy (ie, hair loss, neuropathy, sore mouth, and dysphagia). Scores from 0 to 100 were derived for each symptom item, with higher scores representing greater level of symptoms. Time to deterioration was defined as time from randomization until the date of first clinically meaningful deterioration that was confirmed at a subsequent visit or death (by any cause) in the absence of a clinically meaningful deterioration.

T + D + SoC
During chemotherapy (combination) stage: Patients received tremelimumab 75 mg + durvalumab 1500 mg combination therapy + SoC chemotherapy via IV infusion Q3W for 4 doses/cycles (Weeks 0, 3, 6 and 9). The SoC chemotherapy was the Investigator's choice of one of the following regimens: abraxane + carboplatin (squamous and non-squamous patients), pemetrexed + cisplatin or carboplatin (non-squamous patients only), or gemcitabine + cisplatin or carboplatin (squamous patients only). Post-chemotherapy (maintenance) stage: Patients then continued to receive durvalumab monotherapy 1500 mg IV infusion Q4W from Week 12 until PD, unless there was unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or another discontinuation criterion was met. Patients also received an additional dose of tremelimumab 75 mg (in combination with durvalumab) at Week 16 post-chemotherapy. Non-squamous patients who received pemetrexed + carboplatin/cisplatin during chemotherapy stage could receive pemetrexed maintenance therapy, given Q4W from Week 12 until PD, unless contraindicated per the Investigator.

Overall Survival (OS); D + SoC Compared With SoC Alone

OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization until death due to any cause. Any patient not known to have died at the time of analysis was censored based on the last recorded date on which the patient was known to be alive. Median OS was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier technique. The final analysis of OS in the global cohort was pre-specified after approximately 532 OS events occurred across the D + SoC and SoC alone treatment arms (80% maturity).

Time frame: From baseline until death due to any cause. Assessed until global cohort DCO of 12 March 2021 (maximum of approximately 45 months).

Population: Global cohort: The FAS included all randomized patients. Analysis of OS was assessed as a primary outcome measure for comparison of the D + SoC vs SoC alone treatment arms only. The alternative treatment arm comparisons were assessed as a secondary outcome measure.

Best Objective Response (BoR)

The BoR was calculated based on the overall visit responses from each RECIST 1.1 assessment. BOR was defined as the best response a patient had following randomization, but prior to starting any subsequent cancer therapy and up to and including RECIST 1.1 progression or the last evaluable assessment in the absence of RECIST 1.1 progression, as determined by BICR. Categorization of BoR was based on RECIST using the following 'response' categories: CR and PR and the following 'non-response' categories: stable disease (SD) ≥6 weeks, progression (ie, PD) and not evaluable (NE). Results are presented for number (%) of patients in each specified category.

Number of Patients With ADA Response to Tremelimumab

Blood samples were collected at pre-specified timepoints and number of patients who developed detectable ADAs against tremelimumab was determined. ADA prevalence is defined as percentage of patients with positive ADA result at any time, baseline or post-baseline. Treatment-emergent ADA is defined as either treatment-induced ADA or treatment-boosted ADA. ADA incidence is percentage of patients who were treatment-emergent ADA-positive. Treatment-boosted ADA is defined as baseline positive ADA titer that was boosted by ≥4-fold during the study period. Persistently positive is defined as having ≥2 post-baseline ADA positive measurements with ≥16 weeks (112 days) between the first and last positive, or an ADA positive result at the last available assessment. Transiently positive is defined as having ≥1 post-baseline ADA positive measurement and not fulfilling the conditions for persistently positive. Presence of nAb was tested for all ADA positive samples.

Time frame: Samples were collected on Day 1 (Week 0), Week 12 and at 3 months after the last dose of study treatment (ie, tremelimumab).

Population: Global cohort: The ADA evaluable patients included those in the safety analysis set with non-missing baseline ADA sample and at least 1 post-baseline ADA sample. ADA for tremelimumab was performed for the T + D + SoC treatment arm only. The denominator was tremelimumab ADA evaluable patients.

Number of Patients With Anti-Drug Antibody (ADA) Response to Durvalumab

Blood samples were collected at pre-specified timepoints and number of patients who developed detectable ADAs against durvalumab was determined. ADA prevalence is defined as percentage of patients with positive ADA result at any time, baseline or post-baseline. Treatment-emergent ADA is defined as either treatment-induced ADA or treatment-boosted ADA. ADA incidence is percentage of patients who were treatment-emergent ADA-positive. Treatment-boosted ADA is defined as baseline positive ADA titer that was boosted by ≥4-fold during the study period. Persistently positive is defined as having ≥2 post-baseline ADA positive measurements with ≥16 weeks (112 days) between the first and last positive, or an ADA positive result at the last available assessment. Transiently positive is defined as having ≥1 post-baseline ADA positive measurement and not fulfilling the conditions for persistently positive. Presence of neutralizing antibody (nAb) was tested for all ADA positive samples.

Time frame: Samples were collected on Day 1 (Week 0), Week 12 and at 3 months after the last dose of study treatment (ie, durvalumab).

Population: Global cohort: The ADA evaluable patients included those in the safety analysis set with non-missing baseline ADA sample and at least 1 post-baseline ADA sample. ADA for durvalumab was performed for the T + D + SoC and D + SoC treatment arms only. The denominator was durvalumab ADA evaluable patients.

Time to Deterioration of Global Health Status / Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) and Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) Symptoms, Assessed Using European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ)

The EORTC QLQ-Core 30 version 3 (QLQ-C30 v3) was included for assessing HRQoL. It assesses HRQoL/health status through 9 multi-item scales: 5 functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), 3 symptom scales (fatigue, pain, and nausea and vomiting), and a global health and QoL scale. 6 single-item symptom measures are also included: dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties. Scores from 0 to 100 were derived for each of the 15 domains, with higher scores representing greater functioning, greater HRQoL, or greater level of symptoms. Time to deterioration was defined as time from randomization until the date of first clinically meaningful deterioration that was confirmed at a subsequent visit or death (by any cause) in the absence of a clinically meaningful deterioration.

Time frame: At baseline, Weeks 3, 6, 9, 12, 16 and 20, then Q4W until PD, on Day 28 and 2 months post-PD, then every 8 weeks until second progression/death (whichever came first). Assessed until global cohort DCO of 12 March 2021 (maximum of approximately 45 months).

Population: Global cohort: The FAS included all randomized patients. For QLQ-C30 function scales and global health status/HRQoL, only patients with baseline scores ≥10 (and with data available) were included in the analysis. For QLQ-C30 symptom scales/items, only patients with baseline scores ≤90 (and with data available) were included in the analysis.

Time to Deterioration of PRO Symptoms, Assessed Using EORTC QLQ-Lung Cancer Module 13 (QLQ-LC13)

The EORTC QLQ-LC13 is a disease-specific 13-item self-administered questionnaire for lung cancer, to be used in conjunction with the EORTC QLQ-C30. It comprises both multi-item and single-item measures of lung cancer-associated symptoms (ie, coughing, hemoptysis, dyspnea, and pain) and treatment-related symptoms from conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy (ie, hair loss, neuropathy, sore mouth, and dysphagia). Scores from 0 to 100 were derived for each symptom item, with higher scores representing greater level of symptoms. Time to deterioration was defined as time from randomization until the date of first clinically meaningful deterioration that was confirmed at a subsequent visit or death (by any cause) in the absence of a clinically meaningful deterioration.

Time frame: At baseline, Weeks 3, 6, 9, 12, 16 and 20, then Q4W until PD, on Day 28 and 2 months post-PD, then every 8 weeks until second progression/death (whichever came first). Assessed until global cohort DCO of 12 March 2021 (maximum of approximately 45 months).

Population: Global cohort: The FAS included all randomized patients. For QLQ-LC13 symptom scales/items, only patients with baseline scores ≤90 (and with data available) were included in the analysis.
