A Phase III Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo Controlled Trial Comparing the Efficacy of Gemcitabine, Cisplatin and Sorafenib to Gemcitabine, Cisplatin and Placebo in First-Line Treatment of Patients With Stage IIIb With Effusion and Stage IV Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (NEXUS)

Evaluation of gemcitabine and cisplatin in combination with either sorafenib or placebo for the treatment of patients with advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Sorafenib (Nexavar, BAY43-9006); Drug: Gemcitabine; Drug: Cisplatin; Drug: Placebo

Detailed Description

During follow-up, it was determined that there was one additional patient on placebo that was still receiving treatment as of 06 APR 2010 and therefore 10 patients' data are reported in the current CSR addendum, 6 in the sorafenib + GC group and 4 in the placebo + GC group, and as before all in the ITT (non-squamous) population.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Overall Survival (OS) in the ITT (Non-squamous) Population	Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from date of randomization to death due to any cause. Patients still alive at the time of analysis were censored at their last date of last contact.	from randomization of the first patient until 38 months or date of death of any cause whichever came first

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
OS in the ITT (Both Squamous and Non-squamous) Population	OS was defined as the time from date of randomization to death due to any cause. Patients still alive at the time of analysis were censored at their last date of last contact.	from randomization of the first patient until 38 months or date of death of any cause whichever came first
OS in the ITT (Squamous) Population	OS was defined as the time from date of randomization to death due to any cause. Patients still alive at the time of analysis were censored at their last date of last contact.	from randomization of the first patient until 38 months or date of death of any cause whichever came first
Progression-free Survival (PFS) in the ITT (Non-squamous) Population	PFS was defined as the time from date of randomization to disease progression (radiological or clinical, whichever was earlier, based on Investigator-assessment using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), version 1.0) or death due to any cause, whichever occured first. Patients without progression or death at the time of analysis were censored at their last date of tumor evaluation. Disease progression: increase in the sum of tumor lesion sizes or new lesions.	from randomization of the first patient until 38 months or date of death or progression whichever came first, assessed until discontinuation every 6 weeks up to 9 months and then every 12 weeks
Time to Progression (TTP) in the ITT (Non-squamous) Population	TTP was defined as the time from date of randomization to disease progression (radiological or clinical, whichever was earlier, based on Investigator-assessment using RECIST version 1.0). Patients without progression at the time of analysis or death before progression were censored at their last date of tumor evaluation. Disease progression: increase in the sum of tumor lesion sizes or new lesions.	from randomization of the first patient until 38 months or date of death or progression whichever came first, assessed until discontinuation every 6 weeks up to 9 months and then every 12 weeks
Percentage of Participants With Different Tumor Response in the ITT (Non-squamous) Population	Tumor response (= Best Overall Response) of a patient was defined as the best tumor response (confirmed Complete Response (CR: disappearance of tumor lesions), confirmed Partial Response (PR: a decrease of at least 30% in the sum of tumor lesion sizes), Stable Disease (SD: steady state of disease), or Progressive Disease (PD: an increase in the sum of tumor lesions sizes or new lesions)) observed during trial period assessed according to the RECIST criteria (version 1.0) based on Investigator-assessment.	from randomization of the first patient until 38 months or date of death or progression whichever came first, assessed until discontinuation every 6 weeks up to 9 months and then every 12 weeks
Disease Control (DC) in the ITT (Non-squamous) Population	DC was defined as the total number of patients whose best response was not PD according to RECIST (version 1.0) by Investigator-assessment (= total number of CR + total number of PR + total number of SD; CR or PR had to be maintained for at least 28 days from the first demonstration of that rating, SD had to be documented at least once more than 6 weeks from baseline). PD: an increase in the sum of tumor lesions sizes or new lesions.	from randomization of the first patient until 38 months or date of death or progression whichever came first, assessed until discontinuation every 6 weeks up to 9 months and then every 12 weeks
Duration of Response in the ITT (Non-squamous) Population	Duration of response was defined as the time from date of first documented objective response of PR or CR, whichever was noted earlier, to date of disease progression or death (if death occurred before progression was documented). Patients without disease progression at the time of analysis or death before progression were censored at the last date of tumor evaluation. Disease progression: increase in the sum of tumor lesion sizes or new lesions.	from randomization of the first patient until 38 months or date of death or progression whichever came first, assessed until discontinuation every 6 weeks up to 9 months and then every 12 weeks
Duration of Stable Disease (SD) in the ITT (Non-squamous) Population	Duration of SD was defined as the time from date of randomization to date that disease progression (radiological or clinical, whichever was earlier) was first documented. Patients without disease progression at the time of analysis or death before progression were censored at the date of their last tumor assessment.(Disease progression: increase in the sum of tumor lesion sizes or new lesions.) Duration of stable disease was only evaluated in patients failing to achieve a best response of CR or PR.	from randomization of the first patient until 38 months or date of death or progression whichever came first, assessed until discontinuation every 6 weeks up to 9 months and then every 12 weeks
Time to Response (TTR) in the ITT (Non-squamous) Population	TTR for patients who achieved a best response (CR or PR) was defined as the time from date of randomization to the earliest date that response was first documented.	from randomization of the first patient until 38 months or date of death of any cause whichever came first
Functional Assessment of Cancer Treatment-Lung (FACT-L) Scores in the ITT (Non-squamous) Population	The FACT-L measures health related quality of life (HRQOL) and composes of five domains: the four domains (physical well being, emotional well being, social well being, functional well being) from the Functional Assessment of Cancer Treatment-General scale (FACT-G) and the lung cancer subscale (LCS). The FACT-L total score ranges from 0 to 136, higher scores represent better HRQOL.	from randomization of the first patient until 38 months
Lung Cancer Subscale (LCS) Scores in the ITT (Non-squamous) Population	LCS is a subscale of FACT-L measuring lung cancer specific symptoms. The LCS scores range from 0 to 28, higher scores represent fewer lung cancer symptoms.	from randomization of the first patient to 38 months later or death whatever occurs first.
Time to Symptomatic Deterioration (TSD) in the ITT (Non-squamous) Population	TSD is defined as the time from randomization to the date of symptomatic deterioration (≥3 point decline in the LCS score that is maintained for at least 2 consecutive cycles) or death if death occurs before these 2 consecutive cycles are completed.	from randomization of the first patient to 38 months later or death whatever occurs first
Euro Quality of Life - 5D (EQ-5D) Index Scores in the ITT (Non-squamous) Population	The EQ-5D contains a descriptive system which measures 5 health dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activity, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. These five health dimensions are summarized into a single score, the EQ-5D index score which ranges from -0.594 to 1 when the United Kingdom (UK) weights are applied (0=death, 1=perfect health). Higher index scores represent better health states.	from randomization of the first patient until 38 months later or death whatever occurs first
EQ-5D Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Scores in the ITT (Non-squamous) Population	The EQ-5D also contains a visual analog scale (EQ-VAS), which records the respondent's self-rated health status on a vertical graduated visual analog scale ranging from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state).	from randomization of the first patient until 38 months later or death whatever occurs first
