Trial Outcomes & Findings for RO4929097 in Treating Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Who Have Recently Completed Treatment With Front-Line Chemotherapy (NCT NCT01193868)

NCT ID: NCT01193868

Last Updated: 2015-11-18

Results Overview

Percentage of participants with response per RECIST version 1.1: Complete Response (CR):Disappearance all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes with reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. Partial Response (PR): At least 30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, reference baseline sum diameters. Progressive Disease (PD): At least 20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, reference smallest sum on study (includes baseline sum if that is smallest on study). In addition to relative increase of 20%, sum must demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (Note: appearance of 1 or more new lesions also considered progressions). Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, reference smallest sum diameters while on study. Best response recorded from treatment start until disease progression/recurrence (reference for progressive disease the smallest measurements recorded since treatment started).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Response evaluation every 6 weeks (in addition to baseline scan, confirmatory scans approximately 6-7 (not less than 4) weeks following initial documentation of objective response). Expected follow up to 5 years, actual study period 9/2010 to 4/2014.

Population: Only those participants who have measurable disease present at baseline and received at least one dose of study medication considered evaluable for response with their response classified according to the RECIST definitions stated. Participants who exhibit objective disease progression prior to the end of cycle 1 also considered evaluable.

Percentage of participants with response per RECIST version 1.1: Complete Response (CR):Disappearance all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes with reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. Partial Response (PR): At least 30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, reference baseline sum diameters. Progressive Disease (PD): At least 20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, reference smallest sum on study (includes baseline sum if that is smallest on study). In addition to relative increase of 20%, sum must demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (Note: appearance of 1 or more new lesions also considered progressions). Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, reference smallest sum diameters while on study. Best response recorded from treatment start until disease progression/recurrence (reference for progressive disease the smallest measurements recorded since treatment started).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 weeks

Population: Study terminated early with low accrual leading to insufficient data for analysis.

Response is reported as a continuous variable, as % change in tumor size from baseline. Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients will be used. Reported with 95% two-sided confidence intervals.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to day 3

Population: Study terminated early with low accrual leading to insufficient data for analysis.

For participants having biopsies both before and after the agent, paired comparisons of post-therapy to pre-therapy results for the Notch IHC scores will be used. Researchers will assess changes from pre-therapy to post-therapy using a Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test (Wilcoxon rank sum tests). Spearman coefficients will be used to correlate tumor expression of Notch pathway markers with expression of stem cell markers.

Timeframe: Up to 3 months

Population: Study terminated early with low accrual leading to insufficient data for analysis.

Tumor Immunohistochemistry (IHC) scores for Notch pathway and stem cell markers used in comparison to tumor progression; and progression evaluated in using international criteria proposed by revised RECIST guideline (version 1.1). Changes in the largest diameter (unidimensional measurement) of the tumor lesions and the shortest diameter in the case of malignant lymph nodes are used in the RECIST criteria. Wilcoxon rank sum tests will be used. Compared using Fisher Exact Tests.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 weeks

Population: Study terminated early. Analysis not performed due to small numbers.

Correlate percent change in tumor size at 6 weeks (or at time off study, if therapy is stopped earlier due to tumor progression) with tumor Immunohistochemistry (IHC) scores for Notch pathway and stem cell markers; Tumor % shrinkage with RO4929097 will correlate with pre-therapy tumor expression of Notch pathway members, with expression of stem cell markers, and with changes in these over the first cycle of therapy.

Timeframe: Baseline up to 5 years

Population: Study terminated early. Analysis not performed due to small numbers.

Time from initiation of study drug until death, progression of tumor, or for worsening of tumor that did not meet RECIST 1.1 criteria but that did require discontinuation of therapy, assessed up to 5 years
