Study Stopped
Completion of recruitment was not feasible as accrual was slower than anticipated. Even if a benefit for denosumab could be shown, these results would be of very limited clinical impact by the time they would be available

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate how well the standard treatment (platinum-based doublet chemotherapy) in combination with denosumab works compared with the standard treatment alone in patients with a type of lung cancer called "non small cell lung cancer" (NSCLC) that has spread to other parts of the body.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Overall Survival
OS will be defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death, whatever the cause. The follow-up of participants still alive will be censored at the moment of last follow-up. OS will be reported for all participants in both treatment arms.
Overall survival was measured from the date of randomization to the date of death, whatever the cause, up to a maximum of 56 months
Secondary Outcomes (5)
Progression-free Survival (PFS) Based on RECIST 1.1
Time from date of randomisation until objective disease progression or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to a maximum of 56 months
Number of Participants With Response (CR+PR) Based on RECIST 1.1
Response of the tumour is defined according to RECIST 1.1 criteria, assessed up to 56 months
Toxicity Profile of Denosumab
Assessed up to 56 months
Overall Survival by Membranous RANK Expression.
Up to maximum of 56 months
Overall Survival by Cytoplasmic RANK Expression.
up to a maximum of 56 months
Study Arms (2)
None, standard chemotherapy only
OTHER4 - 6 cycles of standard chemotherapy + best supportive care including any bone protective agent except denosumab. Standard chemotherapy consis of a combination of platinum-based doublet agents plus gemcitabine or pemetrexed.
Standard chemotherapy + Denosumab
EXPERIMENTAL4 - 6 cycles of standard chemotherapy + denosumab 120 mg, administered subcutaneously every 3-4 weeks until unacceptable toxicity, patient refusal, or patient's death. Denosumab should be administered on day 1 of each cycle, before or after the administration of chemotherapy. After stop of first-line chemotherapy, denosumab must be continued life-long, regardless of tumour progression and concomitantly with subsequent lines of systemic treatment, as long as tolerable for the patient. Standard chemotherapy consis of a combination of platinum-based doublet agents plus gemcitabine or pemetrexed.
Interventions
Denosumab: 120 mg, s.c. every 3-4 weeks (in cycle 1 additional dose on day 8) until unacceptable toxicity, patient refusal or patient's death (max. 4 years 3 months).
Possible standard chemotherapies (3 weeks cycles, duration: 4 - 6 cycles): Cisplatin 75 mg/m2 as an infusion on day 1 Gemcitabine 1250 mg/m2 as an infusion days 1 and 8 or Carboplatin AUC 5 as an infusion on day 1 Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 as an infusion days 1 and 8 or Cisplatin 75 mg/m2 as an infusion on day 1 Pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 as an infusion on day 1 or Carboplatin AUC 5 as an infusion on day 1 Pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 as an infusion on day 1
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced stage IV non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), according to 7th TNM classification
- Age ≥ 18 years
- ECOG performance status 0-2
- Measurable or evaluable disease (according to RECIST 1.1 criteria) assessed within 28 days from randomization.
- Availability of tumour tissue (as assessed by the local pathologist) for translational research:
- preferred: FFPE block from primary tumour or metastasis,
- alternatively: cell block
- if no block available: 10 freshly cut unstained slides.
- Adequate haematological function: neutrophils ≥ 1.5 ×109/L, platelets
- ≥ 100×109/L, and hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL
- Adequate liver function:
- ALT ≤ 3 × ULN ( ≤ 5 × ULN if liver metastasis are present)
- Total bilirubin \< 2 x ULN
- Adequate renal function: calculated renal creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 30 mL/min (according to the formula of Cockroft-Gault)
- Life expectancy of at least 3 months
- +5 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Patients with presence of documented sensitizing EGFR activating mutation or ALK rearrangements (screening following local standards is optional, but strongly encouraged in non-squamous histology)
- Patients with documented brain metastases (systematic screening of patients not mandatory; however, if the patient is symptomatic, brain metastases screening is recommended).
- Prior chemotherapy or molecular targeted therapy for metastatic disease.
- Exceptions:
- Neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy or radio-chemotherapy are allowed if terminated more than 6 months before registration.
- Previous radical radiotherapy without systemic treatment is allowed.
- One previous line of systemic immunotherapy by checkpoint inhibitors is allowed and needs to be documented
- Concomitant treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors
- Any investigational agent(s) within 30 days prior to randomisation
- Concurrent bisphosphonate administration
- Oral/ dental conditions (by visual inspection):
- Prior history or current evidence of osteomyelitis / osteonecrosis of the jaw
- Active dental or jaw condition which requires oral surgery
- Planned invasive dental procedure for the course of the trial
- Non-healed dental or oral surgery
- +11 more criteria

The study steering committee decided to close the study prematurely due to poor accrual. The primary analysis is therefore underpowered.
