Safety and Efficacy Study of Abraxane as Maintenance Treatment After Abraxane Plus Carboplatin in 1st Line Stage IIIB / IV Squamous Cell Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Not Recruiting

Trial ID: NCT02027428

Purpose

Maintenance treatment of advanced stage squamous cell NSCLC. Phase III, randomized, open-label, multi-center study of nab-paclitaxel with best supportive care (BSC) or BSC alone as maintenance treatment after response or stable disease (SD) with nab-paclitaxel plus carboplatin as induction in subjects with stage IIIB/IV squamous cell NSCLC. Subjects who discontinued treatment from the maintenance part for any reason other than withdrawal of consent, lost to follow-up, or death, were entered into a Follow-up period that had a visit 28 days after progression or discontinuation. Those who entered Follow-up without progression continued with follow-up scans according to standard of care (SOC) until documentation of progression of disease. Additionally, subjects were followed for OS by phone approximately every 90 days for a minimum of 18 months, for up to approximately 5 years after the last subject was randomized.

11. Aspartate transaminase/serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, alanine
   transaminase/serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase ≤ 2.5 × upper limit of normal range
   or ≤ 5.0 × upper limit of normal range if liver metastases.

12. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal range except in cases of Gilbert's
   disease and liver metastases.

13. Creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dL.

14. Expected survival of > 12 weeks for the Induction part of the study.

15. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1.

16. For Maintenance part of the study, subjects must have received at least one dose of
   nab-paclitaxel in each of the 4 cycles during Induction

17. Females of childbearing potential [defined as a sexually mature woman who (1) have not
   undergone hysterectomy (the surgical removal of the uterus) or bilateral oophorectomy
   (the surgical removal of both ovaries) or (2) have not been naturally postmenopausal

      doctor-approved contraception throughout the study without interruption, and
      while receiving study medication or for a longer period if required by local
      regulations.

18. Male subjects must:

   c. agree to complete abstinence from heterosexual contact or use a condom during
   sexual contact with a female of child bearing potential while receiving study
   medication and within 6 months after last dose of study medication, even if he has
   undergone a successful vasectomy.

19. Females must abstain from breastfeeding during study participation and 3 months after
   IP discontinuation.

Exclusion Criteria:

The presence of any of the following will exclude a subject from enrollment into the
Induction and Maintenance parts of the study (except if specified at study entry only):

   1. Evidence of active brain metastases, including leptomeningeal involvement (prior
   evidence of brain metastasis are permitted only if treated and stable and off therapy
   for ≥ 4 weeks prior to first dose of study drug).

   2. Only evidence of disease is non-measurable at study entry.

   3. Preexisting peripheral neuropathy of Grade 2, 3, or 4 (per Common Terminology Criteria
   for Adverse Events v4.0).

   4. Venous thromboembolism within 6 months prior to signing Informed Consent Form.

   6. History of the following within 6 months prior to first administration of a study
   drug: a myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina pectoris, coronary/peripheral
   artery bypass graft, New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III-IV heart failure,
   uncontrolled hypertension, clinically significant cardiac dysrhythmia or clinically
   significant electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormality, cerebrovascular accident, transient
   ischemic attack, or seizure disorder.

   7. Treatment with any investigational product within 28 days prior to signing Informed
   Consent Form.

   8. History of allergy or hypersensitivity to nab-paclitaxel or carboplatin.

   involved administration of experimental therapy and/or therapeutic devices.

10. Any other clinically significant medical condition and/or organ dysfunction that will
   interfere with the administration of the therapy according to this protocol.

   form (ICF).

12. Subject has received radiotherapy ≤ 4 weeks or limited field radiation for palliation
   ≤ 2 weeks prior to starting investigational product (IP), and/or from whom ≥ 30% of
   the bone marrow was irradiated. Prior radiation therapy to a target lesion is
   permitted only if there has been clear progression of the lesion since radiation was
