E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
Other types of substudies Specify title, date and version of each substudy with relative objectives: Merck will conduct Future Biomedical Research on DNA, RNA and tumor specimens collected during this clinical trial. Such research is for biomarker testing to address emergent questions not described elsewhere in the protocol (as part of the main trial) and will only be conducted on specimens from appropriately consented subjects. The objective of collecting specimens for Future Biomedical Research is to explore and identify biomarkers that inform the scientific understanding of diseases and/or their therapeutic treatments. The overarching goal is to use such information to develop safer, more effective drugs, and/or to ensure that subjects receive the correct dose of the correct drug at the correct time.
|
Altre tipologie di sottostudi specificare il titolo, la data e la versione di ogni sottostudio con i relativi obiettivi: Merck condurrà una Ricerca Biomedica Futura su campioni di DNA, RNA e tessuto tumorale raccolti nel corso di questo studio clinico. Tale ricerca ha lo scopo di esaminare vari biomarcatori per rispondere a domande che stanno emergendo e che non sono descritte in altre parti del protocollo (nell’ambito dello studio principale), e verrà condotta solo su campioni di soggetti che abbiano rilasciato apposito consenso. L'obiettivo della raccolta dei campioni per la Ricerca Biomedica Futura è quello di esplorare e identificare biomarcatori che contribuiscano scientificamente alla comprensione delle malattie e/o della relative terapie. L'obiettivo ultimo è quello di utilizzare tali informazioni per sviluppare farmaci più sicuri e più efficaci, e/o per garantire che i soggetti ricevano la dose giusta del giusto farmaco al momento giusto.

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Have a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of Stage IV (American Joint Committee on Cancer [AJCC] v. 8) NSCLC and study participants should not have had prior systemic therapy for advanced disease. 2. Have confirmation that epidermal growth factor receptor– (EGFR-), anaplastic lymphoma kinase– (ALK-), c-ros oncogene 1 (ROS1), or B isoform of rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma (B-Raf) directed therapy is not indicated as primary therapy (documentation of absence of tumor activating EGFR or B-Raf mutations AND absence of ALK or ROS1 gene rearrangements). If participant's tumor is known to have a predominantly squamous histology, molecular testing for EGFR mutation and ALK and ROS1 translocations will not be required, as this is not part of current diagnostic guidelines. 3. Have measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the local site investigator/radiology. Lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions. 4. Male/female subjects who are at least 18 years of age on the day of signing the informed consent. 5. A male participant must agree to use a contraceptive as detailed in the protocol during the treatment period and for at least 120 days after the last dose of study treatment and refrain from donating sperm during this period. 6. A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies: a.) Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) OR b.) A WOCBP who agrees to follow the contraceptive guidance in the protocol during the treatment period and for at least 120 days after the last dose of study treatment. 7. The participant (or legally acceptable representative if applicable) provides written informed consent for the study. The participant may also provide consent for Future Biomedical Research. However, the participant may participate in the main study without participating in Future Biomedical Research. 8. Have provided archival tumor tissue sample or newly obtained core or excisional biopsy of a tumor lesion not previously irradiated. Newly obtained biopsies are preferred to archival tissue. Repeat samples may be required if adequate tissue is not provided. 9. Participants must have adequately controlled blood pressure (BP) with or without antihypertensive medications, defined as BP =150/90 mm Hg at Screening and no change in antihypertensive medications within 1 week before Cycle 1/Day 1. 10. Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1. 11. Have adequate organ function as defined in the protocol. Specimens must be collected within 10 days prior to the start of study treatment. |
1. Avere una diagnosi istologicamente o citologicamente confermata di NSCLC di stadio IV (American Joint Committee on Cancer [AJCC] v 8) e i partecipanti allo studio non dovrebbero aver ricevuto una terapia sistemica per malattia in stadio avanzato. 2. Avere una conferma che la terapia diretta al recettore del fattore di crescita epidermica (EGFR-) alla chinasi del linfoma anaplastico (ALK), all’oncogene 1 c-ros (ROS1) o all’isoforma B del fibrosarcome accelerato rapidamente (B-Raf) non sia indicata come terapia primaria (doc di assenza di mutazioni tumorali attivanti EGFR e mutazioni di B-Raf e assenza di riarrangemento genico di ALK e ROS1) e assenza di riarrangiamenti genici di ALK). Se è noto che il tumore del partecipante abbia un’istologia squamosa predominante, non sarà richiesto il test molecolare per la mutazione dell’EGFR e delle traslocazioni ALK e ROS1, in quanto ciò non rientra nelle attuali linee guida diagnostiche. 3. Avere una malattia misurabile in base ai criteri RECIST 1.1, come determinato da sperimentatore/esami radiologici del centro locale. Le lesioni localizzate in una zona già sottoposta a radiazioni sono considerate misurabili se ne è stata dimostrata la progressione. 4. Soggetti maschi/femmine che abbiano compiuto 18 anni d’età al momento della firma del consenso informato. 5. Un partecipante di sesso maschile deve acconsentire ad usare un metodo contraccettivo come indicato nel protocollo nel corso del trattamento e per almeno 120 gg dopo l’assunzione dell’ultima dose del trattamento in studio ed evitare di donare sperma durante questo periodo. 6. Una partecipante di sesso femminile è idonea alla partecipazione qualora non sia in stato di gravidanza, non stia allattando e soddisfi almeno una delle seguenti condizioni: a.) Non sia una donna in età fertile (WOCBP) come def. dall’App.5 OPPURE b.) Sia una WOCBP che accetti di attenersi alla guida sui metodi contraccettivi durante il periodo di trattamento e per almeno 120 giorni dopo l’ultima dose del trattamento di studio. 7. Il/La partecipante (o il rappresentante legale qualora applicabile) deve fornire consenso informato scritto per lo studio. Il/La partecipante può inoltre decidere di fornire il consenso per la Ricerca Biomedica Futura. Tuttavia, il partecipante può prender parte allo studio principale anche senza prender parte alla Ricerca Biomedica Futura. 8. Avere fornito campioni di tessuto tumorale archiviato o biopsia incisionale o escissionale ottenuta ex-novo da una lesione tumorale non precedentemente irradiata. Le biopsie ottenute ex-novo sono preferibili rispetto al tessuto archiviato. Potrebbe essere richiesto un nuovo campione se non è stato fornito un campione adeguato. Nota: I vetrini bioptici devono essere inviati al laboratorio per gli esami entro 14 giorni dalla data di preparazione (i dettagli relativi all’invio del tessuto tumorale possono essere trovati nel manuale delle procedure). 9. I partecipanti devono avere una pressione arteriosa adeguatamente controllata con o senza terapia antipertensiva, definita come pressione sanguigna =150/90 mm Hg allo screening e nessuna modifica dei farmaci antipertensivi entro 1 settimana prima del Giorno 1 /Ciclo 1. 10. Presentare uno stato di validità secondo il Gruppo cooperativo orientale di oncologia (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, ECOG) da 0 a 1. 11.

Ha subito un trapianto di organo solido/tessuto allogenico. 5. WOCBP con test di gravidanza sulle urine positivo nelle 72 ore precedenti la prima dose del trattamento dello studio (vedere l’Appendice 5). In caso non sia possibile confermare la negatività del test sulle urine, sarà richiesto un test di gravidanza sul siero. Nota: nel caso in cui siano passate 72 ore tra il test di gravidanza allo screening e la prima dose del trattamento dello studio, è necessario eseguire un altro test di gravidanza (sulle urine o sul siero) che deve risultare negativo affinché il soggetto possa iniziare a ricevere il farmaco dello studio. 6. I soggetti che presentino proteinuria >1+ alla striscia reattiva sulle urine saranno sottoposti a raccolta delle urine delle 24 ore per una valutazione quantitativa della proteinuria. I soggetti che evidenzino proteine nelle urine =1 g/24 ore non saranno idonei. 7.
