Brief summary

This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of immunotherapy-based treatment combinations in participants with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Two cohorts will be enrolled in parallel in this study: Cohort 1 will consist of participants with tumor PD-L1 expression who have received no prior systemic therapy for metastatic NSCLC, and Cohort 2 will consist of participants who experienced disease progression during or following treatment with a platinum-containing regimen and a PD-L1/PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor, given in combination as one line of therapy or as two separate lines of therapy, regardless of PD-L1 expression. In each cohort, eligible participants will initially be assigned to one of several treatment arms (Stage 1). Participants who experience disease progression, loss of clinical benefit, or unacceptable toxicity during Stage 1 may be eligible to continue treatment with a different treatment regimen (Stage 2).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Stage 1: Percentage of Participants With Objective Response (OR) as Determined by Investigator According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST V1.1)Up to 50.4 monthsOR was defined as a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) on two consecutive occasions, ≥4 weeks apart, during Stage 1 as determined by the investigator using RECIST v.1.1. Objective response rate (ORR) was defined as the percentage of participants with OR. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) have a reduction in short axis to \<10 millimeters (mm). PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters (SOD) of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD, in the absence of CR. 95% confidence intervals (CI) for rates were constructed using Clopper-Pearson method. Percentages have been rounded off. The participant in the 'Stage 1 Cohort 2 (S1C2): Idasanutlin + Docetaxel' arm did not receive study treatment and was therefore excluded from the efficacy analyses.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Stage 1: Progression-free Survival (PFS) as Determined by Investigator According to RECIST V1.1From randomization to the first occurrence of PD or death (Up to 48.6 months)PFS was defined as the time from study treatment initiation to the first occurrence of documented PD, as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum in the study, including baseline, in addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Participants who did not have documented PD or death, PFS was censored at the day of the last tumor assessment. Kaplan-Meier (K-M) method was used to estimate PFS. The participant in the 'Stage 1 Cohort 2: Idasanutlin + Docetaxel' arm did not receive study treatment and was therefore excluded from the efficacy analyses.
Stage 1: PFS Rate at Month 6At Month 6PFS was defined as the time from study treatment initiation to the first occurrence of documented PD, as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum in the study, including baseline, in addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Participants who did not have documented PD or death, PFS was censored at the day of the last tumor assessment. The KM approach was used to estimate the percentage of participants who were event-free for PFS at Month 6. Percentages have been rounded off. The participant in the 'Stage 1 Cohort 2: Idasanutlin + Docetaxel' arm did not receive study treatment and was therefore excluded from the efficacy analyses.
Stage 1: Overall Survival (OS)From randomization to death (Up to 67 months)OS was defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause. Participants who were still alive at the time of OS analysis were censored at the last date they were known to be alive. K-M method was used to estimate OS. The participant in the 'Stage 1 Cohort 2: Idasanutlin + Docetaxel' arm did not receive study treatment and was therefore excluded from the efficacy analyses.
Stage 1: OS Rate at Month 6At Month 6OS was defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause. Participants who were still alive at the time of OS analysis were censored at the last date they were known to be alive. The Kaplan-Meier approach was used to estimate the percentage of participants who were event-free for OS at Month 6. Percentages have been rounded off. The participant in the 'Stage 1 Cohort 2: Idasanutlin + Docetaxel' arm did not receive study treatment and was therefore excluded from the efficacy analyses.
Stage 1: Duration of Response (DOR), as Determined by Investigator According to RECIST V1.1From first occurrence of a documented OR until the time of documented PD or death (Up to 50.4 months)DOR was defined as the time from the first occurrence of a documented OR until the time of documented PD or death from any cause, whichever occurred first as per investigator assessment using RECIST v1.1. DOR was calculated for participants who had a best confirmed OR of CR/PR. CR and PR were defined as outlined in the description for ORR outcome measure. PD=at least a 20% increase in the SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on the study including baseline (nadir). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Participants who did not have documented PD or death, DOR was censored at the day of the last tumor assessment. K-M method was used to estimate DOR. The participant in the 'S1C2: Idasanutlin + Docetaxel' arm did not receive study treatment and was therefore excluded from the efficacy analyses.
Stage 1: Percentage of Participants With Disease Control (DC), as Determined by Investigator According to RECIST V1.1Up to 50.4 monthsDC was defined as stable disease (SD) for ≥ 12 weeks or a CR or PR, as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1 Disease control rate (DCR) was defined as the percentage of participants with DC. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target \& non-target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) have a reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD. SD was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD. PD=at least a 20% increase in the SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on the study including baseline (nadir). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Percentages have been rounded off.
Stages 1 and 2: Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)From baseline until 30 days (for AEs) or 135 days (for SAEs & AESIs) after the last dose of study treatment or until initiation of new systemic anti-cancer therapy, whichever occurred first (Stage 1: up to 54.8 months; Stage 2: up to 43.1 months)An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including abnormal laboratory values or abnormal clinical test results), symptoms, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. SAEs = Serious AEs; AESIs = Adverse Events of Special Interest.

Recruitment details

A total of 314 participants with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) took part in the study from 27 Dec 2017 to 25 Nov 2025. The study had 2 cohorts: Cohort 1: participants with no prior systemic therapy for metastatic NSCLC & Cohort 2: participants with 1 prior line of systemic therapy for NSCLC. Multiple combination therapies were compared against common control(s) in Cohorts 1 and 2.

Pre-assignment details

Eligible participants were assigned to 1 of several treatment arms in Stage 1. Participants with PD, loss of clinical benefit, or unacceptable toxicity in Stage 1 were eligible for a different treatment combination in Stage 2. Participants in Stage 1 who did not enter Stage 2 & those who completed Stage 2 treatment entered the long-term survival follow-up. Results include only those cohorts that enrolled participants; planned cohorts that were never opened for enrollment are not presented.
