General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
To demonstrate that treatment with avelumab in combination with Standard of Care Chemotherapy (SOC CRT) was superior to SOC CRT alone in prolonging Progression-free Survival (PFS) in front-line subjects with high risk, locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (LA SCCHN) who were candidates for definitive CRT with cisplatin.
|
||
Protection of trial subjects |
The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and in compliance with all International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial subjects were followed.

Recruitment
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Recruitment details |
Study had 3 sequential treatment phases: Lead-in,CRT and Maintenance. There were 3 treatments administered during CRT phase: Blinded therapy (Avelumab/placebo), Cisplatin and IMRT. Only blinded therapy (Avelumab/placebo) was administered during Lead-in and Maintenance phases. Reasons for discontinuation are summarized separately for each treatment. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Pre-assignment
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Screening details |
If a subject discontinued all 3 treatments due to death, then death is included as reason for discontinuation in each treatment disposition summary. All deaths that are reported as reason for discontinuation at any phase are included in all-cause mortality summary. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Subjects with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (LA SCCHN) were administered with avelumab 10 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) intravenous (IV) injection on Day 1 of the Lead-in Phase (7 days) and on Days 8, 25 and 39 in CRT phase (63 days). In CRT phase subjects also received SOC CRT: cisplatin 100 milligram per square meter (mg/m^2) on Days 1, 22, 43 and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) 5 days a week. CRT phase was followed by maintenance phase (12 months) in which subjects received avelumab 10 mg/kg IV injection every 2 weeks. All subjects were followed for safety 30 days after the last study treatment administration or until the time of initiation of new systemic anticancer treatment. If any concern arose subjects were followed up on Day 90 via telephone call thereafter in long term (LT) follow up period every 16 weeks for survival and new systemic anticancer treatment. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Arm description |
Subjects with LA SCCHN were administered with placebo IV injection matched to avelumab on Day 1 of the Lead-in Phase (7 days) and on Days 8, 25 and 39 in CRT phase (63 days). In CRT phase subjects also received SOC CRT: cisplatin mg/m^2 on Days 1, 22 and 43 + IMRT 5 days a week. CRT phase was followed by maintenance phase (12 months) in which subjects received placebo IV injection every 2 weeks. All subjects were followed for safety 30 days after the last study treatment administration or until the time of initiation of new systemic anticancer treatment. If any concern arose subjects were followed up on Day 90 via telephone call thereafter in long term follow up period every 16 weeks for survival and new systemic anticancer treatment. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

End point description |
Objective response (OR) was defined as a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per RECIST v1.1 recorded from randomization until disease progression per modified RECIST v1.1 or death due to any cause. A subject was considered to have achieved an OR if the subject had a CR or PR which did not need to be confirmed at a subsequent assessment. CR for target disease: complete disappearance of all target lesions with the exception of nodal disease. All target nodes must decrease to normal size (short axis less than [<] 10 millimeter [mm]). CR for non-target disease: disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker levels. All lymph nodes must be ‘normal’ in size (<10 mm short axis). PR: Greater than or equal to (>=) 30% decrease under baseline of the sum of diameters of all target measurable lesions. The ORR was estimated by dividing the number of subjects with OR (CR or PR) by the number of subjects randomized. FAS included all randomized subjects.

TEAE was defined as event with onset dates occurring during the on-treatment period. Safety analysis set included all subjects who received at least one dose of study drug.

End point description |
EQ-5D-5L is a standardized subject completed questionnaire that measures health status in terms of a single index value or utility score. EQ-5D-5L consisted of two components: a health state profile (descriptive system) and a visual analogue scale (VAS) in which subjects rate their overall health status from 0 (worst imaginable) to 100 (best imaginable), where higher scores indicated better health status. EQ-5D health state profile is comprised of 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 response levels: 1=no problems, 2=slight problems, 3=moderate problems, 4=severe problems and 5=extreme problems. EQ-5D-5L health status index score range between 0 to 1. Higher score indicated better health status. FAS included all randomized subjects.

In CRT phase participants also received SOC CRT: cisplatin 100 milligram per square meter (mg/m^2) on Days 1, 22, 43 and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) 5 days a week. CRT phase was followed by maintenance phase (12 months) in which participants received avelumab 10 mg/kg IV injection every 2 weeks. All participants were followed for safety 30 days after the last study treatment administration or until the time of initiation of new systemic anticancer treatment. If any concern arose participants were followed up on Day 90 via telephone call thereafter in long term (LT) follow up period every 16 weeks for survival and new systemic anticancer treatment. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
