E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Presence of active or untreated CNS metastases as determined by MRI or CT scan performed during screening. 2. Active malignancies other than NSCLC within the last 5 years with the exception of adequately treated cone-biopsied in situ carcinoma of the cervix uteri or basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin 3. Serious cardiac illness or medical conditions including but not confined to: • History of documented congestive heart failure (CHF), New York Heart Association class II/III/IV, with a history of dyspnea, orthopnea or edema that requires current treatment with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, beta-blockers or diuretics. NOTE: Use of these medications for the treatment of hypertension is allowed • Baseline QTc > 470 msec or history of QT prolongation while taking other medications • High-risk uncontrolled arrhythmias (ventricular tachycardia, high-Grade AV-block, supra-ventricular arrhythmias which are not adequately rate-controlled) that require current treatment with the following anti-arrythmic drugs: flecainide, moricizine or propafenone • Current coronary artery disease with a history of myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, angioplasty or coronary bypass surgery 4. Radiotherapy within 2 weeks prior to randomization (related toxicities must be ≤Grade 1) 5. Prior radiotherapy to the only area of measurable disease 6. Major surgery (unrelated to NSCLC) within 4 weeks prior to randomization 7. Hemoptysis ≥ Grade 2 at randomization 8. Peripheral neuropathy ≥ Grade 2 at randomization 9. History of severe allergic or hypersensitivity reactions to docetaxel or excipients (eg, polyethylene glycol [PEG] 300 and polysorbate 80) 10. Women who are pregnant or lactating 11. Significant weight loss of ≥ 10% body weight within the 4 weeks prior to randomization |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Stage 1 The primary endpoints of the study are (1) PFS in adenocarcinoma histology subjects with elevated baseline total LDH and (2) PFS in a subset of subjects with KRAS mutated disease.
Stage 2 Evaluation of OS in the two treatment arms |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Stage 1 The primary analysis of PFS in adenocarcinoma subjects with elevated baseline serum LDH will be conducted when approximately 73 PFS events have been observed in this subgroup. The primary analysis of PFS in subjects with KRAS mutation will be conducted when approximately 73 PFS events have occurred in this population. This analysis will include all subjects with KRAS mutation enrolled in the study
Stage 2 A formal interim OS analysis is planned when approximately 125 OS events (approximately 40% of the total number of deaths) have been observed. The primary analysis for median OS will be conducted when approximately 311 OS events have been observed. |

E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Stage 1 Overall Response Rate, Disease Control Rate, tumour size change, and 1 year overall survival and overall survival between the 2 treatment groups. Stage 2 Progression Free Survival, Overall Response Rate, Disease Control Rate, tumour size changes, and 1 year overall survival and overall survival between the 2 treatment groups
|
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Stage 1 and Stage 2 Tumor size changes from baseline to at least 6 or 12 weeks Disease Control Rate is defined as the proportion of patients with best response, according to modified RECIST 1.1, of CR, PR or SD, where the SD must be for at least 6 weeks (DCR-6) or 12 weeks (DCR-12)
