E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Run-in Phase I (in UK and the Netherlands only): To confirm that up to a 200mg b.i.d dose of BIBF 1120, added to gemcitabine and cisplatin, is safe and tolerable added to a standard dose of cisplatin/gemcitabine in patients with stage IIIB/IV or recurrent non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with squamous cell histology. Pharmacokinetics of BIBF 1120 and clinically relevant metabolites, gemcitabine and cisplatin.
Phase II: To investigate the efficacy and safety of BIBF 1120 compared to placebo in first line NSCLC patients with squamous cell histology, and at least stable disease after two cycles of cisplatin/gemcitabine chemotherapy.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Run-in Phase I (in UK and the Netherlands only): The evaluation of objective response and best overall response by means of descriptive statistics. Descriptive statistics of plasma concentrations per analyte and time point and of standard pharmacokinetic parameters will also be calculated.
Phase II : The analysis of objective response, disease control and overall survival. Duration of objective response and duration of disease control will also be evaluated for patients achieving objective response and disease control respectively.
In addition to that Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) questionnaires – namely the QLQ-C30, QLQ-LC13 and EQ-5D questionnaire – will be analysed.

29.ALT and/or AST>2.5 x upper limit of normal in the presence of liver metastases or
ALT/AST> 1.5 x upper limit of normal in patients without liver metastases.
