E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
•To compare OS in patients with advanced NSCLC of non- adenocarcinoma tumor histology receiving erlotinib alone (Arm B) or figitumumab plus erlotinib (Arm A). Patients in Arm B may have received single agent figitumumab upon progression on erlotinib alone. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
•To compare PFS in patients with advanced NSCLC of non-adenocarcinoma tumor histology receiving erlotinib alone (Arm B) or figitumumab plus erlotinib (Arm A). •To assess the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of figitumumab; •To assess the efficacy of figitumumab in terms of ORR; •To collect PK data of figitumumab for population PK meta-analysis; •To monitor for the occurrence of anti drug antibody in response to figitumumab; •To test for the presence of plasma IGF-IR related markers; •To assess health-related quality of life outcomes (HRQoL) using the EORTC QLQ-C30 / LC13 and health state utilities using the EQ-5D questionnaire. |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Male or females ≥ 18 years of age. 2. Histologically or cytologically documented non-small cell lung cancer with a primary histology of squamous cell, large cell or adenosquamous carcinoma and their variants (Appendix 10),69 with metastases (Stage IV), recurrent disease, or locally advanced (Stage IIIB) with malignant pleural effusion. 3. Patients in whom erlotinib is a reasonable treatment option. Patient must have received previous treatment for advanced disease consisting of at least one platinum based combination regimen. However, patients 70 years of age or older could have received at least one single agent therapies. 4. At least 1 measurable lesion, as defined by RECIST. All target lesions must have a unidimensional diameter of at least 2 cm (1 cm is acceptable for spiral CT scans if the reconstruction algorithm is 0.5 cm). Baseline measurements/evaluations must be completed within 4 weeks prior to randomization and performed at the participating investigational site. 5. ECOG performance status 0-2. 6. At least two weeks since the last systemic therapy regimen prior to enrollment. Patients must have recovered to NCI CTCAE v3.0 <Grade 1 from all acute toxicities (excluding Grade 1 toxicity that are not considered a safety risk by the Sponsor and Investigator) or toxicity must be deemed irreversible by the investigator. 7. At least one week since the last radiotherapy. Patients must have recovered from all acute toxicities from radiotherapy. Patients must have adequate hematologic, renal and liver function as defined by: Hemoglobin >9 g/dL, neutrophils >1000/mm3, platelets >50,000/mm3, creatinine <1.5 mg/dL (132 micromol/L) and AST (SGOT) and/or ALT (SGPT) <5 x ULN (upper limit of normal). 9. Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plans, laboratory tests, and other study procedures, including the provision of diagnostic paraffin slides or sections and the completion of patient reported outcome measures. 10. Negative pregnancy test within one week of initial dose of figitumumab for women of child-bearing potential. Patients must be surgically sterile or postmenopausal women, or must agree to use double barrier contraception during the period of therapy and for 5 months following the last dose of the study drug. Double barrier contraception is defined as male condom plus spermicide in combination with female condom, diaphragm, or cervical cap; or male condom plus spermicide in combination with an intrauterine device. Within these limits, the specific form of contraception employed is left to the discretion of the patient or the principal investigator. 11. Written and voluntary informed consent understood, signed and dated. |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Primary NSCLC histology not listed in Inclusion #1. Primary NSCLC adenocarcinoma and its subtypes: acinar, papillary, bronchioalveolar, solid, fetal, mucinous, signet ring and clear cell or mixed histologies of these types. Unknown or unspecified (Not otherwise specified) NSCLC histology. 2. Prior erlotinib therapy. 3. Gross hemoptysis (defined as ½ teaspoon or more of bright red blood in a single episode) within 2 weeks prior to randomization. 4. Inability to swallow pills. 5. Prior anti-IGF-IR based investigational therapy. Other investigational therapies (targeted or vaccine), unless otherwise agreed by investigators and sponsor, will require 2 weeks wash out period before enrollment. 6. Symptomatic brain metastases. Brain metastases stable for <2 weeks before dosing or requiring concurrent steroid therapy or with clinical symptoms. Clinical symptoms suggestive of new brain metastasis within 2 weeks of enrollment unless new brain metastasis are ruled out by a CT scan or MRI. 7. Major surgery within three weeks prior to study enrollment or not fully recovered from side effects of previous procedures 8. Previous (less than 3 years ago) or current malignancies at sites other than curatively treated in situ carcinoma of the cervix of the uterus, or basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. 9. Hgb A1C level ≥ 5.7%. 10. Any history of unstable angina, myocardial infarction or symptomatic congestive heart failure. Significant active cardiac disease including: uncontrolled high blood pressure (ie, systolic blood pressure >180 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure >95 mm Hg), deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, cerebro-vascular attack, or valvular disease. Requirement for inotropic support or serious uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia (including atrial flutter/fibrillation) within 3 years prior to screening. Patients must have Troponin values within normal range according to the performing laboratory. 11. Other serious uncontrolled medical disorder or active infection that would impair the ability to receive study treatment as determined by the investigator. 12. Subjects who are receiving chronic high dose systemic immunosuppressive steroid therapy (≥ 100 mg prednisone per day or >40 mg dexamethasone per day) within 2 weeks prior to enrollment. Previous moderate to high dose steroid treatment is allowed but must be stopped at enrollment. Topical steroid use, inhaled steroids, and low dose steroid use at time of randomization (eg, cortisone 30 mg/day, prednisone 5 mg/day) will be allowed. 13. Dementia or significantly altered mental status that would limit the understanding or rendering of informed consent and compliance with the requirements of this protocol. 14. Pregnancy or breast feeding. |
