About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Multicenter, Open-Label Phase 3 Study of Pemetrexed-Cisplatin Chemotherapy Plus Necitumumab (IMC-11F8) Versus Pemetrexed-Cisplatin Chemotherapy Alone in the First-Line Treatment of Patients With Stage IV Nonsquamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
The research study is testing the investigational drug necitumumab in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The aim of this study is to determine if necitumumab, given together with a standard chemotherapy combination consisting of cisplatin and pemetrexed will be more effective in improving participant disease than the standard chemotherapy combination alone.
Read the detailed description
Multinational, randomized, multicenter, open-label Phase 3 study of 633 participants with advanced, nonsquamous (Stage IV) NSCLC. Participants will be randomized on a 1:1 basis to receive first-line necitumumab plus chemotherapy consisting of pemetrexed and cisplatin in study Arm A, or first-line pemetrexed-cisplatin chemotherapy alone in Arm B.
Baseline radiographic assessment of disease will be performed within 21 days prior to randomization (first treatment will be administered within 7 days following randomization).
Participants will undergo radiographic assessment (computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging) of disease status every 6 weeks (± 3 days), until there is radiographic documentation of progressive disease (PD). Chemotherapy will continue for a maximum of six cycles in each arm (Or until there is radiographic documentation of PD, toxicity requiring cessation, protocol noncompliance or withdrawal of consent); participants in Arm A only will continue to receive necitumumab until there is radiographic documentation of PD, toxicity requiring cessation, protocol noncompliance, or withdrawal of consent.
After the end-of-study-visit (following PD), follow-up information regarding further anticancer treatment and survival will be collected every 2 months (± 7 days). For participants who discontinue study for reasons other than PD (eg, symptomatic deterioration), information on disease progression will also be collected until PD is documented. Follow-up will continue as long as the participant is alive, or until the end of the trial.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Necitumumab + Pemetrexed + Cisplatin | Experimental | Necitumumab + Pemetrexed + Cisplatin Receives: Drug: Pemetrexed; Drug: Cisplatin; Biological: Necitumumab |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Overall Survival Time (OS)
OS is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause. Participants who do not die at the end of the extended follow-up period, or were lost to follow-up during the study, were censored at the last date they were known to be alive. OS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Measured: Randomization to Death from Any Cause (Up to 31.6 Months)
Secondary outcomes (9)
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
PFS is defined as the time from randomization until the first radiographic documentation of measured progressive disease as defined by RECIST (Version 1.0), or death from any cause. Participants who die without a reported prior progression will be considered to have progressed on the day of their death. Participants who did not progress or were lost to follow-up were censored at the day of their last radiographic tumor assessment. If no baseline or postbaseline radiologic assessment was available, the participant was censored at the date of randomization. If death or PD occurs after two or more consecutive missing radiographic visits, censoring occurred at the date of the last radiographic visit prior to the missed visits.
Measured: Randomization to Measured Progressive Disease or Death from Any Cause (Up to 30.4 Months)
Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Best Overall Tumor Response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) (Objective Tumor Response Rate [ORR])
ORR is confirmed best overall tumor response of CR or PR. According to RECIST v1.0, CR was defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions; PR defined as a >30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters (LD) of the target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of the LD. Percentage of participants was calculated as: (total number of participants with CR or PR from start of the treatment until disease progression or recurrence)/total number of participants treated) * 100.
Measured: Baseline to Measured Progressive Disease (Up to 30.4 Months)
Time to Treatment Failure (TTF)
TTF was defined as the time from study enrollment/randomization to the first observation of measured progressive disease, death from any cause, or early discontinuation of treatment or initiation of new anti-cancer therapies. Response was defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST, version 1.0) criteria. Progressive Disease (PD) was defined as having at least a 20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions. Time to treatment failure was censored at the date of the last follow-up visit for participants who did not discontinue early, who were still alive, and who have not progressed.
Measured: Randomization to Measured Progressive Disease, Death from Any Cause, Discontinuation of Treatment or Initiation of New Anticancer Therapy (Up to 30.4 Months)
Pharmacokinetics (PK): Minimum Concentration (Cmin) of Necitumumab
Measured: Predose Day 1 of Cycle 2,3,4,5 and 6 Prior to Necitumumab Infusion, Up to 23 Weeks
Number of Participants With Serum Anti-Necitumumab Antibody Assessment (Immunogenicity)
A participant was considered to have an anti-Necitumumab antibody response if anti-drug antibodies (ADA) were confirmed positive. Treatment emergent antibodies were defined as any anti-Necitumumab antibody titer equal to or greater than 4-fold the participant's baseline titer.
Measured: Baseline to Study Completion (Up to 31.6 Months)
Mean Change From Baseline in Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) Using the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D)
The EQ-5D is a generic, multidimensional, health-related, quality-of-life instrument. The profile allows participants to rate their health state in 5 health domains: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression using a three level scale 1-3 (no problem, some problems, and major problems). These combinations of attributes were converted into a weighted health-state Index Score according to the United Kingdom (UK) population-based algorithm. The possible values for the Index Score ranged from -0.59 (severe problems in all 5 dimensions) to 1.0 (no problem in any dimension).
Measured: Baseline, Cycle 6 (Cycle = 3 weeks)
Mean Change From Baseline in PRO as Measured Using the Lung Cancer Symptom Scale (LCSS)
The LCSS consisted of 9 items: 6 items focused on lung cancer symptoms [loss of appetite, fatigue, cough, dyspnea (shortness of breath), hemoptysis (blood in sputum), and pain] and 3 items were global items (symptom distress, interference with activity level, and global quality of life). Participant responses to each item were measured using visual analogue scales (VAS) with 100-mm lines. A higher score for any item represented a higher level of symptoms/problems. Scores for each of the reported categories ranged from 0 (for best outcome) to 100 (for worst outcome). The Average Symptom Burden Index (ASBI) was the mean of the 6 symptom items of the LCSS, and the Total LCSS was the mean of all 9 LCSS items. ASBI and Total LCSS were not computed for a participant if he/she had 1 or more missing values for the 6 and 9 items, respectively.
Measured: Baseline, Cycle 6 (Cycle =3 Weeks)
Epidermal Growth Factor Hormone (EGFR) Protein Expression Measured by Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
EGFR IHC H-score = weighted sum of % 1+ cells, twice % 2+ cells, and three times % 3+ cells. IHC H-score criteria assesses participants with a low EGFR expression defined by a H-score cutoff value of < 200 and participants with a high EGFR expression defined by a H-score of cutoff value of >=200.
Measured: Baseline
Percentage of Participants With EGFR Measured by IHC
EGFR IHC H-score = weighted sum of % 1+ cells, twice % 2+ cells, and three times % 3+ cells. IHC H-score criteria assesses participants with a low EGFR expression defined by a H-score cutoff value of < 200 and participants with a high EGFR expression defined by a H-score of cutoff value of >=200.
Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Pemetrexed, Cisplatin and Necitumumab in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 101 sites in 20 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 101 sites in Germany, Brazil, Russia, Spain, Hungary and 15 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Jun 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Overall Survival Time (OS) (time frame: Randomization to Death from Any Cause (Up to 31.6 Months)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00982111, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Jan 2022.
