The average QTc from the three screening ECGs must be <480 msec in order for the patient to be eligible for the study) Patients who are receiving a drug that has a risk of QTc prolongation are eligible if QTc is <460 msec.
- Potassium <4.0 mmol/L despite supplementation; serum calcium (or ionized or adjusted for albumin), or magnesium out of normal range despite supplementation
- Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding
- Any concomitant medications that may cause QTc prolongation or induce Torsades de Pointes or induce CYP3A4 function. Drugs that have a risk of QTc prolongation, that in the investigator's opinion cannot be discontinued, are allowed, but only of the QTc is <460 msec
- Hypertension not controlled by medical therapy (systolic blood pressure greater than 160 millimetre of mercury [mmHg] or diastolic blood pressure greater than 100 mmHg)
- Previous or current malignancies of other histologies within the last 5 years, with the exception of in situ carcinoma of the cervix and adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin
- Treatment with a non-approved or investigational drug within 30 days before Day 1 of study treatment
- Concomitant use of yellow fever vaccine or any live attenuated vaccines

Primary Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
|
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) in the Overall Population
Time Frame: RECIST tumour assessments carried out every 6 weeks (+/- 3 days) from randomization until objective progression
|
Median time (in weeks) from randomization until objective disease progression or death (by any cause in the absence of objective progression) provided death is within 3 months from the last evaluable Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) assessment.
|
RECIST tumour assessments carried out every 6 weeks (+/- 3 days) from randomization until objective progression
|
|
Progression-Free Survival in the Female Population
Time Frame: RECIST tumour assessments carried out every 6 weeks (+/- 3 days) from randomization until objective progression
|
Median time (in weeks) from randomization until objective disease progression or death (by any cause in the absence of objective progression) provided death is within 3 months from the last evaluable RECIST assessment.
|
RECIST tumour assessments carried out every 6 weeks (+/- 3 days) from randomization until objective progression
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
|
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: Time to death in months
|
The OS is defined as the time from date of randomization until death.
Any participant not known to have died at the time of analysis was censored based on the last recorded date on which the participant was known to be alive (i.e, their status must be known at the censored date and should not be lost to follow up or unknown).
|
Time to death in months
|
|
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame: Each participant was assessed for objective response from the sequence of RECIST scan data up to data cut off. RECIST tumour assessments carried out every 6 weeks (+/- 3 days) from randomization until objective progression
|
The ORR is the number of participants that are responders i.e, those participants with a confirmed best objective response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as defined by RECIST criteria.
The categories for best objective response are CR, PR, stable disease (SD)>= 6 weeks, progressive disease (PD) or NE.
|
Each participant was assessed for objective response from the sequence of RECIST scan data up to data cut off. RECIST tumour assessments carried out every 6 weeks (+/- 3 days) from randomization until objective progression
|
|
Disease Control Rate (DCR)
Time Frame: RECIST tumour assessments carried out every 6 weeks (+/- 3 days) from randomization until objective progression
|
The DCR is defined as the number of patients who achieved disease control at 6 weeks following randomization.
Disease control at 6 weeks is defined as a best objective response of complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) >= 6 weeks.
|
RECIST tumour assessments carried out every 6 weeks (+/- 3 days) from randomization until objective progression
|
|
Duration of Response (DoR)
Time Frame: RECIST tumour assessments carried out every 6 weeks (+/- 3 days) from randomization until objective progression
|
Response is defined as a confirmed best objective response of CR or PR.
Duration of response is defined as time from the date of first documented response until date of documented progression or death in the absence of disease progression (provided death is within 3 months of last RECIST assessment).
|
RECIST tumour assessments carried out every 6 weeks (+/- 3 days) from randomization until objective progression
|
|
Time to Deterioration of Disease-Related Symptoms (TDS) by Lung Cancer Symptom Scale (LCSS) Total Score
Time Frame: LCSS questionnaires are to be administered every 3 weeks after randomization
|
TDS is the interval from the date of randomization to the first assessment of worsened without an improvement in the next 21 days.
A deterioration in symptoms is defined as a single visit assessment of 'worsened' with no visit assessment of 'improved' within the next 21 days.
The LCSS scale measures changes in symptoms associated with lung cancer.
|
LCSS questionnaires are to be administered every 3 weeks after randomization
|
|
Time to Deterioration of Disease-Related Symptoms by Average Symptom Burden Index (ASBI) Score
Time Frame: ASBI is a score taken from the LCSS questionnaires which are to be administered every 3 weeks after randomization
|
Time to deterioration is defined as the interval from the date of randomization to the first assessment of worsened without an improvement in the next 21 days.
A deterioration in symptoms is defined as a single visit assessment of 'worsened' with no visit assessment of 'improved' within the next 21 days.
The ASBI is derived from 6 of LCSS's 9 items.
|
ASBI is a score taken from the LCSS questionnaires which are to be administered every 3 weeks after randomization
|
|
Longitudinal Analysis of Lung Cancer Symptom Scale Total Score
Time Frame: LCSS questionnaires are to be administered every 3 weeks after randomization
|
The longitudinal data analysis will include all non-missing visit scores and the model will include only the first 12 weeks of data.
LCSS total score is an average of all 9 visual analogue participant scales from "none" [0 millimeter (mm)] to "as much as it could be" (100 mm).
|
LCSS questionnaires are to be administered every 3 weeks after randomization
|
|
Longitudinal Analysis of Average Symptom Burden Index Score
Time Frame: ASBI is a score taken from the LCSS questionnaires administered every 3 weeks after randomization
|
The longitudinal data analysis will include all non-missing visit scores and the model will include only the first 12 weeks of data.
ASBI is an average of the 6 symptom visual analogue patient scales from "none" (0 mm) to "as much as it could be" (100 mm).
