Study summary

This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center clinical study. Target population is patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer who had not received systemic chemotherapy. Study objective is to compare the efficacy and safety of Camrelizumab + carboplatin/cisplatin + pemetrexed /paclitaxel / albumin paclitaxel ± SRT/WBRT with placebo + carboplatin/cisplatin + pemetrexed /paclitaxel / albumin paclitaxel ± SRT/WBRT. Camrelizumab is a humanized anti-PD1 IgG4 monoclonal antibody.

Detailed Description:

In this study, eligible subject will be randomized into study arm or control arm to accept study treatment. Paticipant was confirmed without EGFR activating mutation or ALK fusion and received no prior systemic therapy. Patients would receive Camrelizumab/placebo in combination with chemotherapy for 4-6 cycles,non-squamous subject followed by Camrelizumab/placebo + pemetrexed as maintenance treatment until progression or unacceptable toxicity, squamous subject followed by Camrelizumab/placebo as maintenance treatment until progression or unacceptable toxicity, Camrelizumab/placebo for a maximum of 2 years.

  • Experimental
    Camrelizumab group

    subject will receive Camrelizumab intravenously(IV) PLUS pemetrexed or paclitaxel or albumin paclitaxel PLUS cisplatin or carboplatin AUC 5 on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle(Q3W) for 4-6 cycles followed by Camrelizumab ± pemetrexed IV Q3W until progression (up to approximately 2 years). Whether the subject accepts intracranial radiotherapy will be decided by investigators according to the guidelines and the conditions of the subjects.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Intracranial Progression-Free Survival(iPFS)

    Intracranial Progression-free survival is defined as the duration from date of enrollment to the first occurrence of progression in brain metastasis disease or death from any cause or switch therapy

    Time frame: up to 24 months

  2. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first.

    Time frame: up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Intracranial Objective Response Rate (iORR)

    iORR is defined as the percentage of participants in the analysis population who have a Complete Response (CR: Disappearance of all target lesions) or a Partial Response(PR: ≥30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) in brain lesion per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1

    Time frame: up to 24 months

  2. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR was defined as the percentage of participants in the analysis population who had a CR or a PR.

    Time frame: up to 24 months

  3. Intracranial Duration of Response (iDOR)

    iDOR was defined as the time from first documented evidence of a CR or PR until PD or death

    Time frame: up to 24 months

  4. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS was defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause.

    Time frame: up to death

  5. Duration of Response (DOR)

    DOR was defined as the time from first documented evidence of a CR or PR until PD or death

    Time frame: up to 24 months

  6. Adverse events (AEs)/ Serious adverse event (SAE)

    All adverse event/Serious adverse event that occurred during the study period according to CTCAE v 5.0

    Time frame: up to 24 months

  7. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)

    Assessment of cognitive function using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). The MMSE evaluates orientation, registration, attention and calculation, recall, and language. Total scores range from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating better cognitive function.

    Time frame: Assessed at baseline and at each scheduled tumor imaging assessment (every 6 weeks for the first 48 weeks, then every 12 weeks thereafter) up to 24 months

  8. Hopkins Verbal Learning Test - Revised (HVLT-R)

    Assessment of verbal learning and memory using the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test - Revised (HVLT-R). The HVLT-R consists of three learning trials of a 12-word list, a delayed recall trial, and a delayed recognition trial. Total recall score (trials 1-3) ranges from 0 to 36, delayed recall score from 0 to 12, and recognition discrimination index from -12 to 12. Higher scores indicate better verbal learning and memory function.

    Time frame: Assessed at baseline and at each scheduled tumor imaging assessment (every 6 weeks for the first 48 weeks, then every 12 weeks thereafter) up to 24 months

Other outcomes

  1. Change in Functioning Scales (EORTC QLQ-C30)

    Change from baseline in patient-reported global health status/quality of life, as measured by the EORTC QLQ-C30 global health status/QoL scale. Scores are transformed to a 0-100 scale; higher scores indicate better quality of life.

    Time frame: Assessed at baseline and at each scheduled tumor imaging assessment (every 6 weeks for the first 48 weeks, then every 12 weeks thereafter) up to 24 months
