Received >1 prior anti-cancer drug regimen for advanced or metastatic NSCLC. Patients who develop disease progression while on switch maintenance therapy (maintenance using an agent not in the first-line regimen) will not be eligible.
Any systemic anti-cancer therapy within 4 weeks prior to starting study treatment (6 weeks for nitrosoureas, mitomycin, and suramin) or any anti-cancer therapy which has not been cleared from the body by the time of starting study treatement
Prior treatment with a MEK inhibitor or any docetaxel-containing regimen (prior treatment with paclitaxel is acceptable) |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Progression free survival is defined as the time from randomisation until the date of objective disease progression (RECIST 1.1) or death (by any cause in the absence of progression).
|
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Measured at baseline until the date of first documented objective disease progression, assessed up to 33 months |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Overall Survival (OS)
Overall Survival is defined as the time from the date of randomisation until death due to any cause.
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
ORR is defined as the number (%) of subjects with at least one visit response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR).
Duration of Response (DoR)
Duration of response will be defined as the time from the date of first documented response until date of documented progression or death in the absence of disease progression.
Symptom improvement rate (using ASBI from LCSS)
Time to symptom progression (using ASBI from LCSS)
The safety and tolerability profie of Selumetinib in Combination with Docetaxel by assessing of adverse events, Clinical chemistry, haematology and urinalysis, vital signs, ECG and Echocardiogram
The pharmacokinetics (PK) of selumetinib and N-desmethyl selumetinib when administered in combination with docetaxel by assessment of area under plasma concentration time curve (AUC + Cmax) |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
OS: Measured at baseline until date of death due to any cause, assessed up to 41 months
ORR: Measured at baseline until the date of first documented objective disease progression, assessed up to 33 months
Symptom improvement rate and time to symptom progression: (using ASBI from LCSS): both measured from randomisation until 30 days post treatment discontinuation or 30 days post progression (if study treatment discontinued before progression), assessed up to 33 months
Safety and tolerability profie of Selumetinib in Combination with Docetaxel; Measured from randomisation until 30 days post treatment discontinuation, assessed up to 33 months
PK samples will be taken on day 1 and 22 |
