E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of Part B is to compare the PFS of ramucirumab administered in combination with erlotinib versus placebo in combination with erlotinib in previously untreated patients with EGFR mutation-positive metastatic NSCLC. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary objectives of Part B are to compare ramucirumab administered in combination with erlotinib versus placebo administered in combination with erlotinib for:
• safety and toxicity profile
• overall survival (OS)
• objective response rate (ORR) (complete response [CR] + partial response [PR])
• disease control rate (DCR) (CR + PR + stable disease [SD])
• duration of response (DOR)
• pharmacokinetics (PK) and immunogenicity of ramucirumab
• patient-reported outcomes (using Lung Cancer Symptom Scale [LCSS] and EuroQol 5 dimension, 5-level questionnaire [EQ 5D-5L]) |

Protocol Addendum I4T-MC-JVCY(1)
A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind Study of Erlotinib in Combination with Ramucirumab or Placebo in Previously Untreated Patients with EGFR Mutation-Positive Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
This addendum (1) to the main protocol is specific for sites participating in the drug-drug interaction (DDI) substudy in Part B of Study I4T-MC-JVCY (JVCY).
The rationale of this addendum (1) is to add a secondary objective to assess whether co administration with ramucirumab affects pharmacokinetics of erlotinib. Additional pharmacokinetic (PK) samples for DDI investigation will be collected from approximately 15 patients from each arm. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Part B: Progression Free Survival (PFS) |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Part B: After 320 PFS events for approximately 450 patients have been reported.
PFS is measured from the date of randomization to the date of radiographic documentation of progression (as defined by RECIST v. 1.1) based on investigator assessment, or the date of death due to any cause, whichever is earlier. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
• overall survival (OS) defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of death from any cause
• objective response rate (ORR) (complete response [CR] + partial response [PR]) defined as the proportion of randomized patients achieving a best overall response of PR or CR, from randomization to disease progression.
• disease control rate (DCR) (CR + PR + stable disease [SD]) defined as the proportion of randomized patients achieving a best overall response of PR or CR or SD, from randomization to disease progression.
• duration of response (DOR) defined from the date of first documented CR or PR (responder) to the date of objective progression or the date of death due to any cause, whichever is earlier.
• pharmacokinetics (PK) of ramucirumab: Cmin from Cycle 2 predose through Cycle 14 predose
• Number of patients with Anti-Ramucirumab antibodies from Cycle 1 predose through follow-up
• Change from baseline on the Lung Cancer Symptom Scale [LCSS] - time to deterioration (TtD) for each of the 9 items
• Change from baseline on the EuroQoL 5-dimension, 5-Level Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L): -Descriptive statistics for the 5 dimensions, index, and VAS calculated for each assessment period
