About this study

Official title: Phase II, Double-Blind, Randomised, Placebo-Controlled Study to Assess the Efficacy of AZD6244 in Combination With Docetaxel, Compared With Docetaxel Alone, in 2nd Line Patients With KRAS Mutation Positive Locally Advanced Metastatic NSCLC

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of AZD6244 in combination with docetaxel versus docetaxel alone in patients with KRAS mutation positive locally advanced or metastatic non small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study was to assess the efficacy in terms of overall survival (OS) of AZD6244 in combination with docetaxel, compared with docetaxel alone, in second-line patients with KRAS mutation-positive locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. Amendment 4 of the CSP altered the primary objective and outcome variable from progression-free survival (PFS) to OS, and the secondary outcome variable changed from OS to PFS.

The secondary objectives of the study were:

  • To further assess the efficacy of AZD6244 in combination with docetaxel, compared with docetaxel alone, in second-line patients with KRAS mutation-positive locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC
  • To assess the safety and tolerability profile of AZD6244 in combination with docetaxel
  • To investigate the use of plasma and serum as a potential source of circulating free tumour DNA (cfDNA) for the analysis of KRAS mutation status
  • To investigate the PK of AZD6244 and N-desmethyl AZD6244 and any other known metabolites when AZD6244 is administered in combination with docetaxel.

The exploratory objectives of the study were:

  • To assess the prevalence, severity and change over time of advanced NSCLC cancer specific symptoms in patients receiving AZD6244 in combination with docetaxel and docetaxel alone
  • To explore potential biomarkers in residual tumour, plasma and/or serum taken for KRAS mutational analysis which may influence development of NSCLC (and associated clinical characteristics) and/or response (optional)
  • To investigate the relationship between AZD6244 and/or N-desmethyl AZD6244 and any other known metabolite plasma concentrations or exposure and clinical outcomes, efficacy, AEs, and/or safety parameters if deemed appropriate
  • To collect and store deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), derived from a blood sample, for future exploratory research into genes that may influence response, eg, distribution, safety, tolerability, and efficacy of AZD6244 and/or agents used in combination and/or as comparators (optional).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Overall Survival

    OS was calculated as the interval from the date of randomisation to the date of patient death (any cause). Patients who had not died at the time of the final analysis, or who withdrew consent, were censored at the last date the patient was known to be alive.

    Measured: At least 12 months since start of treatment.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Progression Free Survival

    PFS was defined as the interval between the date of randomisation and the earlier date of objective disease progression per RECIST criteria or death due to any cause in the absence of progression. Patients who did not progress or die at the time of analysis were censored at the time of their latest evaluable objective tumour assessment. This also included patients who withdrew consent.

    Measured: At least 12 months after start of treatment

  2. Objective Response Rate

    ORR is defined as the ratio of proportions, patients with at least one visit response of CR or PR in AZD6244 + Docetaxel vs Placebo + Docetaxel.

    Measured: At least 12 months after start of treatment

  3. Duration of Response

    Duration of response is defined as the time from the date of first documented response until date of documented progression or death in the absence of disease progression, the end of response should coincide with the date of progression or death from any cause used for the PFS endpoint.

    Measured: At least 12 months after start of treatment

  4. Change From Baseline in Tumour Size at 6 Week.

    Percentage change from baseline in tumour size at 6 week. Values calculated as tumour sizes at 6 weeks minus value at baseline.

    Measured: 6 weeks after first dose of treatment

  5. Change From Baseline in Tumour Size at Week 12

    Percentage change from baseline in tumour size at Week 12. Values calculated as tumour sizes at 12 weeks minus value at baseline.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  6. Alive and Progression-Free at 6 Months

    Percentage of patients alive and progression-free at 6 months

    Measured: 6 months after first dose of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AZD6244 and docetaxel in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by AstraZeneca at 63 sites in 12 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 20 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 63 sites in Brazil, Hungary, Italy, Belgium, Bulgaria and 7 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 20 Jun 2018). 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 frame: At least 12 months since start of treatment.). 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 NCT00890825, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 20 Jun 2018.
