E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study is to determine the 2 year progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with NSCLC (UICC stages I to III A) treated with Sorafenib following potentially curative surgery of NSCLC.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary objectives are - To determine PFS at 3 and 4 years following surgery - To determine overall survival (assessed after 3 and 4 years) - To assess the safety and tolerability of Sorafenib adjuvant treatment when administered following surgery for NSCLC, - To assess biomarkers relevant to Sorafenib response and disease state, and their correlation to clinical outcome |

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• Patients with histologically confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC UICC stages I, II or III A. • Patients must have completely resected disease (pathological R0 resection) and may not be treated with prior chemotherapy. Patients must have fully recovered from surgery prior to initiation of study treatment. • Adjuvant radiotherapy for stage III A disease is permitted given that the patient has recovered from all radiation-induced toxicities. In those patients, a complete restaging will be performed prior to enrolment into the trial. • Patients with completely resected NSCLC stage II or III A, who for medical reasons are not eligible for standard adjuvant chemotherapy consisting of a regimen of 4 cycles cisplatin/vinorelbine. • Patients with completely resected NSCLC stage II or III A, who are not willing to undergo standard adjuvant chemotherapy with 4 cycles of cisplatin/vinorelbine, are also eligible. • Age ≥ 18 years. • ECOG performance status 0, 1 or 2. • Normal organ and marrow function defined as: a. Hematopoetic: absolute neutrophil count >1,500/mm3, platelet count > 100,000/mm3, hemoglobin > 9 g/dL b. INR < 1.5 ULN and PTT within normal limits c. Hepatic: total bilirubin < 1.5 x ULN, AST or ALT < 2.5 x ULN d. Renal: creatinine < 1.5 x ULN • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test performed within 7 days prior to the start of treatment. • Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate birth contraception prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation (i.e. contraception with a failure ratio of < 1%/year are implants, injection preparations, combined oral contraceptiva, intrauterine device (e.g. hormone spiral), surgical sterilisation or vasectomy). Men should use adequate birth control for at least 3 months after the last administration of Sorafenib. • Ability to understand the nature and scope of the trial and willingness to sign a written informed consent. A signed informed consent must be obtained prior to any study specific procedures.
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• Any other histology (e.g. carcinoid tumors) or disease stages other than I to III A. • Patients who are eligible and willing to undergo standard adjuvant chemotherapy (4 cycles of cisplatin/vinorelbine). • Any prior systemic anticancer therapy including chemotherapy, targeted agents, experimental therapy or biological therapy for NSCLC. • Cardiac disease: congestive heart failure > class II NYHA, patients must not have unstable angina pectoris or new onset of angina pectoris or myocardial infarction within the past 6 months, or cardiac ventricular arrhythmias requiring antiarrhythmic therapy. • Uncontrolled hypertension defined as systolic blood pressure > 150 mm Hg or diastolic pressure > 90 mm Hg, despite optimal therapy. • Known brain metastasis. Patients with symptoms should undergo CT scan/MRI of the brain to exclude brain metastasis. • Active clinically serious infections > NCI-CTCAE Grade 2. • Thrombotic or embolic events including transient ischemic attacks within the past 6 months. • Pulmonary hemorrhage/bleeding event > NCI-CTCAE Grade 2 within 4 weeks before first dose of study drug. • Hemorrhage/bleeding event ≥ NCI-CTCAE Grade 3 within 4 weeks before first dose of study drug. • Serious non-healing wound, ulcer or bone fracture. • Evidence or history of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy. • Therapeutic anticoagulation with Vitamin K antagonists such as warfarin/phenprocoumon, or with heparins or heparinoids. Low dose warfarin/phenprocoumon is permitted if INR is < 1.5. Low dose aspirin (300mg/d) is permitted. • Use of St John’s Wort or rifampicin. • Major surgery, open biopsy or significant traumatic injury within 4 weeks before first dose of study drug. • Known or suspected allergy to Sorafenib or any agent given in the course of this trial. • Previous cancer that is distinct in primary site or histology from NSCLC except cervical cancer in situ, treated basal cell carcinoma, superficial bladder tumors or any cancer curatively treated ≤ 3 years prior to study entry. • Concurrent cancer that is distinct in primary site or histology from NSCLC. • Substance abuse, medical or psychological condition that may interfere with the patient´s participation in the study. • Any condition that impairs patient’s ability to swallow whole pills • Any malabsorption condition • Use of Bevacizumab or any other any drugs (licensed or investigational) that target VEGF or VEGF Receptors. • Systemic treatment for lung cancer, including the use of investigational agents.
