Actual (reported)The purpose of this study is to determine whether the cancer vaccine tecemotide (L-BLP25) in addition to best supportive care is effective in prolonging the lives of Asian subjects with unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer in comparison to a placebo plus best supportive care (a so-called placebo controlled study).

Actual (reported)Overall Survival (OS) Time
OS time was measured as the time (in months) between the date of randomization and the date of death. For subjects alive or lost to follow-up at time of analysis, the time between the date of randomization and the date on which the subject was last known alive was calculated and used as a censored observation in the analysis.
From the date of randomization until death, assessed up to 5.6 years
Time to Symptom Progression (TTSP)
From the date of randomization to the date of symptomatic progression, assessed up to 5.6 years
Time to Progression (TTP)
From the date of randomization to the date of radiological confirmation of PD, assessed up to 5.6 years
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
From the date of randomization to PD, assessed up to 5.6 years
Time to Treatment Failure (TTF)
From the date of randomization to the date of first missed treatment, assessed up to 5.6 years
Number of Subjects With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious TEAEs, TEAEs Leading to Discontinuation and TEAEs Leading to Death
From the first dose of study drug administration until 42 days after the last dose of study drug administration, assessed up to 5.6 years
Tecemotide (L-BLP25) + Single low dose cyclophosphamide + Best supportive care (BSC)
Saline + Placebo + Best supportive care (BSC)
Subjects will receive 8 consecutive weekly subcutaneous vaccinations with 918 microgram (mcg) of tecemotide (L-BLP25) at Week 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 (primary treatment phase) and then at 6-Week intervals, beginning at Week 14 (maintenance phase) until disease progression (PD) is documented or the subject discontinues for any other reason.

A single intravenous (IV) infusion of 300 milligram per square meter (mg/m\^2) (to a maximum 600 mg) of cyclophosphamide will be given 3 days before the first administration of tecemotide.
Subjects will receive 8 consecutive weekly subcutaneous vaccinations of tecemotide (L-BLP25) matching placebo at Week 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 followed by maintenance treatment at 6-Week intervals, beginning at Week 14, until PD is documented or the subject discontinues for any other reason.
A single IV infusion of 0.9 percent (%) sodium chloride (saline) will be given 3 days before first placebo vaccination.
The BSC will be provided as per the investigator's discretion, and is not limited to palliative radiation, psychosocial support, analgesics and nutritional support.
