Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Aflibercept (ziv-aflibercept, AVE0005, VEGF trap, ZALTRAP®)
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo
Treatment: Drugs - Docetaxel (Taxotere®)
Treatment: Drugs - Dexamethasone (pre- and post-medication for docetaxel)

Experimental: Placebo/Docetaxel - Participants with Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) were administered Placebo immediately followed by Docetaxel every three weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or participant's refusal.

Placebo comparator: Aflibercept/Docetaxel - Participants with Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) were administered Aflibercept immediately followed by Docetaxel every three weeks until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or participant's refusal.


Treatment: Drugs: Aflibercept (ziv-aflibercept, AVE0005, VEGF trap, ZALTRAP®)
6 mg/kg Aflibercept administered intravenously (IV) over 1 hour once on Day 1, every 3 weeks.

Treatment: Drugs: Placebo
Matching placebo to Aflibercept administered intravenously (IV) over 1 hour once on Day 1, every 3 weeks.

Treatment: Drugs: Docetaxel (Taxotere®)
75 mg/m² docetaxel in 250 mL dextrose 5% or NaCl 0.9% administered intravenously (IV) over 1 hour, on Day 1 every 3 weeks.

Treatment: Drugs: Dexamethasone (pre- and post-medication for docetaxel)
As a pre- and post-medication for docetaxel, 8 mg dexamethasone was administered orally, the evening before Day 1, on Day 1 (early morning, 1 hour before docetaxel treatment, and evening) and on Day 2 (morning and evening).

Summary
Brief summary
The primary objective of the study was to demonstrate overall survival improvement for aflibercept + docetaxel compared to docetaxel + placebo as second line treatment for participants with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

The secondary objectives were to compare other efficacy parameters, to assess the overall safety of the two treatment arms, to assess the pharmacokinetics of intravenous (IV) aflibercept in this participant population and to determine immunogenicity of IV aflibercept in all participants.
