About this study

Official title: A Phase III, Multicenter, Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo-controlled Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Canakinumab Versus Placebo as Adjuvant Therapy in Adult Subjects With Stages AJCC/UICC v. 8 II -IIIA and IIIB (T>5cm N2) Completely Resected (R0) Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

The primary purpose of the study was to compare the efficacy and safety of canakinumab versus placebo as adjuvant therapy in adult subjects with stages II -IIIA according to the 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC)/Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) and the subset of IIIB (T>5cm N2 disease) completely resected (R0) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Read the detailed description

This was a phase III, multicenter, randomized, double-blind study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of canakinumab as adjuvant therapy in adult patients with stages AJCC/UICC v.8 II-IIIA and IIIB (T>5 cm N2) completely resected (R0) NSCLC.

Approximately 1500 patients were planned to be randomized 1:1 to canakinumab, 200 mg subcutaneously (s.c.) every 3 weeks or matching placebo s.c. every 3 weeks. Patients were planned to continue their assigned treatment until they completed 18 cycles (cycle= 21 days) or experienced any one of the following: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) disease recurrence as determined by Investigator; unacceptable toxicity that precluded further treatment; treatment discontinuation at the discretion of the Investigator or patient; start of a new antineoplastic therapy; death, or loss to follow-up, whichever occurred first. All patients who discontinued from the study treatment were to be followed up every 12 weeks for survival until the final OS analysis or death, loss to follow-up or withdrawal of consent for survival follow-up.

What is being measured

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

  1. Disease Free Survival (DFS) by Local Investigator

    DFS is the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documented NSCLC disease recurrence as assessed by local investigator radiologically or death due to any cause. Disease recurrence included diagnoses of new primary lung malignancies. Clinical deterioration was not considered as a recurrence of disease. In case of non-conclusive radiological evidence, a biopsy assessment was performed to confirm NSCLC recurrence.

    The median DFS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. DFS was censored if no DFS event was observed prior to the analysis cut-off date or subjects who received any subsequent anti-neoplastic therapy for NSCLC. The censoring date was the date of last assessment before the cut-off date or NSCLC related anti-neoplastic therapy date.

    Measured: Up to approximately 4 years

Secondary outcomes (14)
  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall Survival (OS) is the time from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause. The OS was censored at the latest date the subject was known to be alive. The OS distribution was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and Kaplan-Meier medians and 95% confidence intervals of the medians were presented for each treatment group.

    Measured: Up to approximately 4.3 years

  2. Overall Survival (OS) in PD-L1 Subgroups

    Overall Survival (OS) is the time from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause. The OS was censored at the latest date the subject was known to be alive. The OS distribution was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and Kaplan-Meier curves, medians and 95% confidence intervals of the medians were presented for each treatment group. OS analysis was performed by programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression status: PD-L1 <1%, PD-L1 ≥1% and <49%, and PD-L1 ≥50%.

    Measured: Up to approximately 4.3 years

  3. Overall Survival (OS) in CD8 Subgroups

    Overall Survival (OS) is the time from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause. The OS was censored at the latest date the subject was known to be alive. The OS distribution was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and Kaplan-Meier medians and 95% confidence intervals of the medians were presented for each treatment group. OS analysis was performed by CD8 subgroups with the median of baseline CD8 expression as cut-off.

    Measured: up to approximately 4.3 years

  4. Lung Cancer Specific Survival (LCSS)

    LCSS is defined as the time from date of randomization to the date of death due to lung cancer. The LCSS distribution was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and Kaplan-Meier medians and 95% confidence intervals of the medians were presented for each treatment group.

    Measured: Up to approximately 4.3 years

  5. Disease Free Survival (DFS) by Local Investigator in PD-L1 Subgroups

    DFS is the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documented NSCLC disease recurrence as assessed by local investigator radiologically or death due to any cause. Disease recurrence included diagnoses of new primary lung malignancies. Clinical deterioration was not considered as a recurrence of disease. In case of non-conclusive radiological evidence, a biopsy assessment was performed to confirm NSCLC recurrence.

    The median DFS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. DFS was censored if no DFS event was observed prior to the analysis cut-off date or subjects who received any subsequent anti-neoplastic therapy for NSCLC. The censoring date was the date of last assessment before the cut-off date or NSCLC related anti-neoplastic therapy date.

    DFS analysis was performed by baseline programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression status: PD-L1 <1%, PD-L1 ≥1% and <49%, and PD-L1 ≥50%.

    Measured: Up to approximately 4 years

  6. Disease Free Survival (DFS) by Local Investigator in CD8 Subgroups

    DFS is the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documented NSCLC disease recurrence as assessed by local investigator radiologically or death due to any cause. Disease recurrence included diagnoses of new primary lung malignancies. Clinical deterioration was not considered as a recurrence of disease. In case of non-conclusive radiological evidence, a biopsy assessment was performed to confirm NSCLC recurrence.

    The median DFS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. DFS was censored if no DFS event was observed prior to the analysis cut-off date or subjects who received any subsequent anti-neoplastic therapy for NSCLC. The censoring date was the date of last assessment before the cut-off date or NSCLC related anti-neoplastic therapy date.

    DFS analysis was performed by CD8 subgroups with the median of baseline CD8 expression as cut-off.

  7. Canakinumab Serum Concentrations

    Serum concentrations of canakinumab were determinded using an ELISA method.

    Measured: Cycle 1 on day 1 (pre-dose), day 8 and 15; Cycle 2, 4, 6, 9 and 12 on day 1 (pre-dose). Cycle=21 days

  8. Canakinumab Anti-drug Antibody (ADA) Prevalence at Baseline

    Canakinumab ADA prevalence at baseline was calculated as the percentage of participants who had an ADA positive result at baseline

    Measured: Baseline

  9. Canakinumab ADA Incidence

    Canakinumab ADA incidence on-treatment was calculated as the percentage of participants who were treatment-induced ADA positive (post-baseline ADA positive with ADA-negative sample at baseline) and treatment-boosted ADA positive (post-baseline ADA positive with titer that was at least the fold titer change greater than the ADA-positive baseline titer)

    Measured: From baseline up to 130 days after end of treatment, assessed up to approx. 1.5 years

  10. Time to Definitive 10 Point Deterioration Symptom Scores of Pain,Cough and Dyspnea Per European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life (EORTC QLQ)- Lung Cancer (LC) 13 Questionnaire

    The Lung Cancer module of the EORTC's quality of life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-LC13) was used in conjunction with the EORTC QLQ-C30 and provided information on an additional 13 items specifically related to lung cancer. The lung cancer module incorporated one multi-item scale to assess dyspnea, and 9 single items assessing pain, coughing, sore mouth, dysphagia, peripheral neuropathy, alopecia, and hemoptysis. All of the domain scores ranged from 0 to 100. A high score indicated a high level of symptoms.

    The time to definitive 10 point deterioration symptom scores of pain, cough and dyspnea was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of event, which was defined as at least 10 points relative to baseline worsening of the EORTC QLQ-LC13 symptom score with no later change below this threshold or death due to any cause, whichever occurred earlier.

    Measured: From baseline up to approximately 4 years

  11. Time to Definitive 10 Point Deterioration of Global Health Status/Quality of Life (QoL), Shortness of Breath and Pain Per EORTC QLQ-C30 Questionnaire

    The EORTC QLQ-C30 was a questionnaire developed to assess the health-related quality of life of cancer participants. It assessed 15 domains consisting of 5 functional domains (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, social) and 9 symptom domains (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, financial difficulties) and a global health status/QoL scale. All domain scores ranged from 0 to 100. A high score for the functional or global health status scales indicated a high level of functioning or QoL; a high score for a symptom scale indicated a high level of symptoms.

    The time to definitive 10 point deterioration of global health status/QoL, shortness of breath and pain was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of event, which was defined as at least 10 points relative to baseline worsening of the EORTC QLQ-C30 score with no later change below this threshold or death due to any cause, whichever occured earlier.

    Measured: From baseline up to approximately 4 years

  12. Time to First 10 Point Deterioration for Symptom Scores of Pain, Cough and Dyspnea Per EORTC QLQ-LC13 Questionnaire

    The Lung Cancer module of the EORTC's quality of life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-LC13) was used in conjunction with the EORTC QLQ-C30 and provided information on an additional 13 items specifically related to lung cancer. The lung cancer module incorporated one multi-item scale to assess dyspnea, and 9 single items assessing pain, coughing, sore mouth, dysphagia, peripheral neuropathy, alopecia, and hemoptysis. All of the domain scores ranged from 0 to 100. A high score indicated a high level of symptoms.

    The time to first 10 point deterioration symptom scores of pain, cough and dyspnea was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the first onset of at least 10 points absolute increase from baseline (worsening) in symptoms scores or death due to any cause, whichever occurred earlier.

    Measured: From baseline up to approximately 4 years

  13. Time to First 10 Point Deterioration of Global Health Status/QoL, Shortness of Breath and Pain Per EORTC QLQ-C30 Questionnaire

    The EORTC QLQ-C30 was a questionnaire developed to assess the health-related quality of life of cancer participants. It assessed 15 domains consisting of 5 functional domains (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, social) and 9 symptom domains (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, financial difficulties) and a global health status/QoL scale. All domain scores ranged from 0 to 100. A high score for the functional or global health status scales indicated a high level of functioning or QoL; a high score for a symptom scale indicated a high level of symptoms.

    The time to first 10 point deterioration of global health status/QoL, shortness of breath and pain scores was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the first onset of at least 10 points absolute increase from baseline (worsening) in symptoms scores or death due to any cause, whichever occurred earlier.

    Measured: From baseline up to approximately 4 years

  14. Change From Baseline in the Utility Score of the EuroQoL- 5 Dimension- 5 Level (EQ-5D-5L)

    EQ-5D-5L was a standardized questionnaire that measured health-related QoL. EQ-5D-5L consisted of 2 components: a health state profile and a visual analogue scale. The health state profile included five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression, each with five levels ranging from 1 (no problems) to 5 (extreme problems).

    The EQ-5D-5L health state profile responses were converted into single index utility score, ranging from -1 to 1, where lower scores representing a higher level of dysfunction. Published weights are available enabling the calculation of the utility score. A positive change from baseline indicated improvement. This endpoint was assessed throughout the study, including safety and efficacy follow-up (FU) visits. Safety FU visits: every 4 weeks after end of treatment up to 130 days post-last dose. Efficacy FU visits: at 18, 24, 30, 36 and 48 months post-randomization (if no recurrence observed during treatment or safety FU)

    Measured: Baseline, every 3 weeks for 14 months; end of treatment; every 4 weeks up to 130 days post-treatment; at 18,24,30,36 and 48 months post-randomization (if no recurrence); 7 and 28 days post-disease progression, up to approx. 4 years.
