About this study

Official title: An Open-label Trial to Collect Long-term Data on Subjects Following Participation in Previous EMD 531444 (L-BLP25 or BLP25 Liposome Vaccine) Clinical Trials

This is an open-label, common follow-up trial. Subjects who were enrolled in a Merck KGaA, EMD Serono or Merck Serono Japan sponsored trial with tecemotide (L-BLP25) were enrolled in this follow-up trial to continue their maintenance treatment with tecemotide (L-BLP25). Subjects were transferred once the feeder trial (EMR 63325-005 [NCT00157209], EMR 63325-006 [NCT00157196] and EMR 63325-008 [NCT01094548]) objectives were met. Subjects who received tecemotide (L-BLP25) in a feeder trial continued tecemotide (L-BLP25) treatment in this follow-up trial and have safety assessments performed as well as were observed for progressive disease (PD) and survival in 6- month intervals. Subjects who had not received tecemotide (L-BLP25) in feeder trials, or discontinued treatment were only observed for PD and survival in 6-month intervals and were not provided treatment with tecemotide (L-BLP25).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TecemotideBiological

    Also called L-BLP25

    Subjects who received tecemotide (L-BLP25) for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or multiple myeloma in a feeder trial will continue to be treated with tecemotide (L-BLP25) and have safety assessments performed until the discontinuation criteria in the respective feeder trial protocol are met.

  • No interventionOther

    Subjects who had not received tecemotide in the feeder study, or who had discontinued treatment with tecemotide (L-BLP25), will only be observed for progressive disease (PD) (if applicable) and survival in 6-month intervals and will not be provided treatment with tecemotide (L-BLP25).

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious AEs, AEs Leading to Discontinuation and AEs Leading to Death

    An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrences/worsening of pre-existing medical condition without regard to possibility of causal relationship. A Serious AE is an AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect, AEs leading to discontinuation and AEs leading to death.

    Measured: Screening up to 42 days after last dose of study treatment with tecemotide (L-BLP25), assessed up to 3.6 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall survival time was defined as the time from randomization to death. Subjects without events were censored at the last date they were known to be alive.

    Measured: From randomization to death, assessed up to 3.6 years

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.
