E.2 Objective of the trial |

E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To evaluate OS in the 2 treatment groups. • To compare ORR in the 2 treatment groups. • To evaluate disease control rate (DCR) in the 2 treatment groups. • To evaluate safety and tolerability of ficlatuzumab plus erlotinib versus placebo plus erlotinib in subjects who have previously untreated metastatic EGFR-mutated NSCLC and a BDX004 Positive Label. • To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of ficlatuzumab and erlotinib. |

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Male or female and ≥18 years of age. 2. Histologically and/or cytologically confirmed primary diagnosis of Stage IV NSCLC (according to American Joint Committee on Cancer [AJCC] 7th edition lung cancer staging criteria). 3. Measurable disease according to RECIST v.1.1. 4. An EGFR exon 19 deletion and/or an exon 21 (L858R) substitution mutation. 5. BDX004 Positive Label. 6. Have received no prior systemic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, or biologic therapy for metastatic NSCLC. Subjects may have previously been treated with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for early stage lung cancer or chemo-radiotherapy for locally advanced disease provided this was completed at least 6 months prior to enrollment. No prior EGFR TKI therapy is allowed for any stage of NSCLC. 7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1. 8. Clinical laboratory values meeting the following criteria prior to randomization: • Serum creatinine ≤1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN). • Total bilirubin ≤1.5 x ULN. • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤2.5 x ULN, or AST and ALT ≤5 x ULN if liver metastases. • Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤1.5 x ULN and prothrombin time/international normalized ratio (PT/INR) ≤1.5 x ULN if not on anticoagulation therapy. Subjects receiving anti-coagulation therapy with an agent such as warfarin or low-molecular weight heparin may be allowed to participate if the subject is on a stable dose of anticoagulant and coagulation test results are in the therapeutic range established prior to initiation of study treatment. • Hematologic function: - Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1,500 cells/μL. - Hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL or 5.6 mmol/L. - Platelet count ≥100,000/μL. 9. For female subjects of childbearing potential, documentation of negative serum pregnancy test prior to randomization. 10. For female subjects of childbearing potential and male subjects whose sexual partners are of childbearing potential, agreement to use an effective method of contraception during the study and for at least 30 days after the last dose of study treatment. Effective birth control includes (a) intrauterine device plus one barrier method; (b) oral, implantable or injectable contraceptive plus one barrier method; or (c) two barrier methods. Effective barrier methods are male or female condoms, diaphragms, and spermicides (creams or gels that contain a chemical to kill sperm). 11. Ability to give written informed consent and comply with protocol requirements |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. History of severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions or hypersensitivity to recombinant proteins or excipients in the investigational agent or erlotinib. 2. History of known brain metastases. 3. Prior treatment with any other investigational drug or biologic agent within 5 half-lives prior to randomization, or any investigational device within 2 weeks prior to randomization. 4. Any unresolved toxicity from previous radiation therapy. 5. Significant cardiovascular disease, including: • Echocardiogram (ECHO) or multiple gated acquisition (MUGA) showing left ventricular ejection fraction of less than 55%. • Cardiac failure New York Heart Association class III or IV. • Myocardial infarction, severe or unstable angina within 6 months prior to randomization. • History of serious ventricular arrhythmia (ie, ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation). • Significant thrombotic or embolic events within 3 months prior to randomization (significant thrombotic or embolic events include but are not limited to stroke or transient ischemic attack). Catheter-related thrombosis is not a cause for exclusion. Diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism is allowed if it occurred >3 months prior to randomization. • Any uncontrolled or severe cardiovascular disease. 6. Any other medical condition (eg, alcohol abuse) or psychiatric condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might interfere with the subject’s participation in the trial or interfere with the interpretation of trial results. 7. History of prior malignancy within 3 years prior to randomization (except for adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, carcinoma in situ of the breast or cervix, superficial bladder cancer, or early stage prostate cancer, without evidence of recurrence). 8. Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to randomization. 9. Serious and/or symptomatic active infection within 14 days prior to first dose of study drug. Subjects who have asymptomatic or mild infection and are currently taking a short course of antibiotics (eg, urinary tract infection, bronchitis) may be allowed after discussion with the Medical Monitor. 10. Known human immunodeficiency virus infection. 11. Radiographic evidence of interstitial lung disease. 12. For female subjects, pregnancy or breast feeding. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary efficacy endpoint PFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the earliest date of the first objective documentation of radiographic disease progression or death due to any cause. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
