E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Run-in Phase I: 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: 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.

Alternatively, the Cockcroft and Gault formula (Appendix 10.2) may be used to estimate GFR, but if GFR < 50 ml/min, then creatinine clearance through EDTA or 24 hour urine collection should be measured.
28.Total bilirubin above the upper limit of normal.
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.

|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Phase I: For the primary endpoint of the run-in Phase I part, the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of BIBF 1120 added to gem-citabine and cisplatin is defined as the dose of BIBF 1120 at which no more than 1 out of 6 patients have a DLT (or one dose tier below that dose at which 2 or more out of 6 patients experienced drug-related DLT) during the first 21-day treatment cycle.
Phase II: The primary endpoint for the Phase II part of the 1199.82 study is PFS, which is defined as time between the date of randomisation to the date of either progression of the disease (based on RECIST 1.1) or date of death (from any cause), whichever occurs first. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Phase I: Evaluation of objective response and best overall response by means of descriptive statistics. Descriptive statistics of plasmaconcentrations per analyte and time point and of standard pharmacokinetic parameters will also be calculated.

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. |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
