E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Step 1 (phase II) 2:1 randomized non-comparative one stage Fleming phase II Primary objective To evaluate the overall survival (OS) rate at 12 months in HLA-A2 positive patients with advanced NSCLC as 2nd or 3rd line therapy after failure of checkpoint-inhibitor regimens.
Step 2 (conditional phase III): 2:1 comparative randomized phase III Primary objective To demonstrate that OSE2101 is superior to control treatment with respect to overall survival (OS) in HLA-A2 positive patients with advanced NSCLC as 2nd or 3rd line therapy after failure of checkpoint-inhibitor regimens. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Step 1 (phase II) : Secondary objectives • To describe secondary measures of clinical efficacy including disease control rate (DCR) at 6 and 12 months, Health-related Quality of life (QoL) and progression free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR) and evaluate duration of response (DR) • To assess the safety and tolerability • To describe patient reported outcomes (PRO) disease/treatment related symptoms of lung cancer.
Step 2 (conditional phase III): Secondary objectives • To compare secondary measures of clinical efficacy including DCR at 6 months, Health-related (QoL) and progression free survival (PFS) • To assess the safety and tolerability of OSE2101 compared to the control treatment Exploratory objectives • To compare other efficacy criteria (ORR, DCR at 12 months, DR), other QoL criteria and time to next lung cancer therapy in both treatment arms. |

Patients whose tumor harbors EGFR gene mutation that sensitizes tumors to TKI (EGFR exon 18-21) or ALK rearrangement. 5. Ongoing immunotherapy (checkpoint inhibition, antigen immunotherapy that would be scheduled to continue concomitantly to the study). 6. Spinal cord compression (unless treated with the patient attaining good pain control and stable or recovered neurologic function), carcinomatous meningitis, or leptomeningeal disease 7.

Overall survival (OS): • In Step 1: OS rate at 12 months in experimental Arm A (OSE2101) in 84 evaluable patients exposed to OSE2101 • In Step 2: comparison of OS between experimental Arm A (OSE2101) and control Arm B (docetaxel or pemetrexed) when 278 events observed |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The study design is built as a 2-step design design. Analysis of the 1st step will decide whether the 2nd step is clinically relevant and analysis of the combined population included in step 1 and 2 is planned when the target number of events is reached. However, the final analysis will exclude the 38 patients with previous ICI treatment randomized before the recruitment hold. |
