A Study of Atezolizumab in Combination With Carboplatin or Cisplatin + Pemetrexed Compared With Carboplatin or Cisplatin + Pemetrexed in Participants Who Are Chemotherapy-Naive and Have Stage IV Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (IMpower 132)

NCT02657434

Description:

This is a randomized, Phase III, multicenter, open-label study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab in combination with cisplatin or carboplatin + pemetrexed compared with treatment with cisplatin or carboplatin + pemetrexed in participants who are chemotherapy-naive and have Stage IV non-squamous NSCLC. Eligible participants will be randomized by a 1:1 ratio into 2 groups: Arm A (Atezolizumab + Carboplatin or Cisplatin + Pemetrexed) and Arm B (Carboplatin or Cisplatin + Pemetrexed). The study will be conducted in two phases: Induction Phase and Maintenance Phase.

Arm A (Atezolizumab + Carboplatin or Cisplatin + PemetrexedExperimentalParticipants received intravenous (IV) infusion of 1200 milligrams (mg) of atezolizumab on Day 1 every 3 weeks (q3w), IV infusion of 500 milligrams per meter square (mg/m^2) pemetrexed on Day 1 q3w, and as per investigator's choice either IV infusion of carboplatin on Day 1 q3w with a dose calculated using 'Calvert formula' to obtain area under concentration versus time (AUC) = 6 milligrams per milliliter per minute (mg/mL/min) or IV infusion of 75 mg/m^2 cisplatin q3w on Day 1 q3w, during induction dosing period of 4 or 6 cycles (Cycle length=21 days). Participants who experienced clinical benefit during the induction phase began maintenance therapy. Participants will receive IV infusion of 1200 mg of atezolizumab and 500 mg/m^2 of pemetrexed on Day 1 q3w until disease progression in the maintenance period.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Progression Free Survival (PFS) as Assessed by the Investigator Using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1)
Time Frame:Randomization up to approximately 39 months
Safety Issue:
Description:PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of disease progression as determined by the investigator using RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause, whichever occurred first.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Overall Survival Rate at Year 1
Time Frame:Year 1
Safety Issue:
Description:The Overall Survival Rate at the 1-year landmark time point is defined as the probabilities that participants are alive 1-year after randomization.
Measure:Overall Survival Rate Year 2
Time Frame:Year 2
Safety Issue:
Description:The Overall Survival Rate at the 2-year landmark time point is defined as the probabilities that participants are alive 2-years after randomization.
Measure:Percentage of Participants With an Objective Response (Complete Response [CR] or Partial Response [PR]) Assessed by the Investigator Using RECIST V1.1
Time Frame:Randomization up to approximately 25 months
Safety Issue:
Description:An objective response is defined as either an unconfirmed CR or a PR, as determined by the investigator using RECIST v1.1. Objective Response Rate is defined as the proportion of patients who had an objective response.
Measure:Duration of Response (DOR) as Determined by the Investigator Using RECIST v1.1
Time Frame:Randomization up to approximately 25 months
Safety Issue:
Description:DOR is defined as the time interval from the date of the first occurrence of a CR or PR (whichever status is recorded first) until the first date that progressive disease or death is documented, whichever occurs first.
Measure:Change From Baseline in Patient-Reported Lung Cancer Symptoms as Assessed by European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality-of-Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30) Symptom Score
Time Frame:Baseline up to 3 and 6 months after disease progression or loss of clinical benefit (up to approximately 25 months)
Safety Issue:
Description:EORTC QLQ-C30 is a validated and reliable self-report measure that consists of 30 questions that assess five aspects of patient functioning (physical, emotional, role, cognitive, and social), three symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain), global health/quality of life, and six single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). EORTC QLQ-C30 is scored according to the EORTC scoring manual (Fayers et al. 2001). All EORTC scales and single-item measures are linearly transformed so that each score has a range of 0-100. A high score for a functional/global health status scale represents a high or healthy level of functioning/HRQoL (Health-Related Quality of Life); however a high score for a symptom scale or item represents a high level of symptomatology or problems. A ≥10-point change in the symptoms subscale score is perceived by patients as clinically significant (Osoba et al. 1998).
Measure:Change From Baseline in Patient-Reported Lung Cancer Symptoms as Assessed by EORTC Quality-of-Life Lung Cancer Module (QLQ-LC13) Symptom Score
Time Frame:Baseline up to 3 and 6 months after disease progression or loss of clinical benefit (up to approximately 25 months)
Safety Issue:
Description:The EORTC QLQ-LC13 module incorporates one multiple item scale to assess dyspnea and a series of single items assessing pain, coughing, sore mouth, dysphagia, peripheral neuropathy, alopecia, and hemoptysis. The EORTC QLQ-LC13 is scored according to the EORTC scoring manual (Fayers et al. 2001). All EORTC scales and single-item measures are linearly transformed so that each score has a range of 0-100. A high score for a functional/global health status scale represents a high or healthy level of functioning/HRQoL (Health-Related Quality of Life); however, a high score for a symptom scale or item represents a high level of symptomatology or problems. A≥10-point change in the symptoms subscale score is perceived by patients as clinically significant (Osoba et al. 1998).
Measure:Change From Baseline in Patient-Reported Lung Cancer Symptoms as Reported Using the Symptoms in Lung Cancer (SILC) Scale Score
Time Frame:Baseline up to 3 and 6 months after disease progression or loss of clinical benefit (up to approximately 25 months)
Safety Issue:
Description:Change from baseline per SILC scale will be analyzed for each lung cancer symptoms scores. SILC questionnaire comprises 3 individual symptoms & are scored at individual symptom level, thus have a dyspnea score, chest pain score, & cough score. There are a total of 9 questions in SILC questionnaire, each question has a minimum value of 0 & maximum value of 4. Each individual symptom score is calculated as average of responses for symptom items. 'Chest pain' score is mean of question 1 & 2, 'Cough' score is mean of question 3 & 4 and 'Dyspnea' score is mean of question 5 to 9 in SILC questionnaire. An increase in score is suggestive of a worsening in symptomology. A score change of ≥0.3 points for dyspnea & cough symptom scores is considered to be clinically significant; whereas a score change of≥0.5 points for chest pain score is considered to be clinically significant.

Description:Minimum observed serum atezolizumab concentration (Cmin) prior to infusion at selected cycles (Arm A)
Measure:Maximum Observed Serum Atezolizumab Concentration (Cmax)
Time Frame:Day 1 of Cycle 1 (Cycle length=21 days)
Safety Issue:
