NCT01321554

Brief Summary

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study to compare the progression free survival, overall response rate (ORR) and safety of participants treated with lenvatinib 24 mg by continuous once daily oral dosing versus placebo. The study is conducted in 3 phases: a Prerandomization Phase (screening and baseline period), a Randomization Phase (double-blind treatment period), and an Extension Phase (Optional Open Label (OOL) Lenvatinib Treatment Period and a follow-up period).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first documentation of disease progression or death (whichever occurred first), as determined by blinded IIR using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 for the double-blind treatment period (Randomization Phase). Disease progression per RECIST v1.1 was defined as at least a 20 percent (%) relative increase and 5 millimeter (mm) absolute increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the smallest sum on study), recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions.

    Date of randomization to the date of disease progression or death (whichever occurred first), assessed up to data cutoff date (15 Nov 2013) or up to approximately 2.5 years

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    Date of randomization to the date of disease progression or death (whichever occurred first), assessed up to data cutoff date (15 Nov 2013) or up to approximately 2.5 years

  • Overall Survival (OS)

    Date of randomization until date of death from any cause, assessed up to data cutoff date (15 Nov 2013) or up to approximately 2.5 years

  • Pharmacokinetic (PK) Profile of Lenvatinib: Area Under the Plasma Concentration Curve

    Cycle 1 Days 1 and 15: 0-10 hours postdose; Cycle 2 Day 1: 0-12 hour postdose

Study Arms (4)

Lenvatinib (Randomization Phase)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive blinded study drug (lenvatinib or matching placebo) until documentation of disease progression (confirmed by IIR), development of unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent.

Drug: Lenvatinib

Placebo (Randomization Phase)

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Participants randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive blinded study drug (lenvatinib or matching placebo) until documentation of disease progression (confirmed by IIR), development of unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent.

Drug: Placebo

Lenvatinib 24 mg (OOL Lenvatinib Treatment Period)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive lenvatinib 24 mg, orally once daily until documentation of disease progression (confirmed by investigator's assessment), development of unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. Placebo treated participants in the Randomization Phase who have progressive disease confirmed by IIR could request to receive lenvatinib treatment in the OOL Treatment Period.

Drug: Lenvatinib

Lenvatinib 20 mg (OOL Lenvatinib Treatment Period)

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive lenvatinib 20 mg, orally once daily until documentation of disease progression (confirmed by investigator's assessment), development of unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. Placebo treated participants in the Randomization Phase who have progressive disease confirmed by IIR could request to receive lenvatinib treatment in the OOL Treatment Period.

Drug: Lenvatinib

Interventions

Lenvatinib 24 mg (two 10-mg and one 4-mg lenvatinib matched capsules) taken orally once daily, continuously. Dose interruptions or reductions were allowed for subjects who experienced treatment-related toxicity.

Also known as: Lenvatinib (Lenvima, E7080)
Lenvatinib (Randomization Phase)Lenvatinib 24 mg (OOL Lenvatinib Treatment Period)

Matching placebo (two 10-mg and one 4-mg lenvatinib matched capsules) taken orally once daily, continuously.

You may qualify if:

  • Measurable disease according to (RECIST 1.1) and confirmed by central radiographic review.
  • I-refractory/resistant disease.
  • Evidence of disease progression within 12 months prior to signing informed consent (+1 month screening window).
  • Prior treatment with 0 or 1 vascular endothelial growth-factor (VEGF) or vascular endothelial growth-factor receptors (VEGFR) targeted therapy.
  • Adequate renal, liver, bone marrow, and blood coagulation function, as defined in the protocol.

You may not qualify if:

  • Anaplastic or medullary carcinoma of the thyroid
  • or more prior VEGF/ VEGFR-targeted therapies
  • Received any anticancer treatment within 21 days or any investigational agent within 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug.
  • Participants were eligible for lenvatinib treatment in the OOL Lenvatinib Treatment Period if the met the following criteria:
  • Placebo-treated participants in the Randomization Phase who had progressive disease (PD) confirmed by IIR, and who requested treatment with lenvatinib.
  • Participants with maximum interval between the day of confirmation of PD by IIR and Cycle 1/Day 1 of the OOL Lenvatinib Treatment Period of less than or equal to 3 months.
  • No systemic anticancer treatment during the interval between the day of confirmation of PD by the IIR and Cycle 1/Day 1 of the OOL Lenvatinib Treatment Period.
