Brief Summary

Protocol title: Comparison of cost-effectiveness of continuation maintenance therapy with six cycles of pemetrexed versus pemetrexed until disease progression for metastatic non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) Study design: An open-labelled, randomized, phase 2 trial Indication: Patients with stage IV non-squamous NSCLC, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1, and have received first-line or second-line chemotherapy with pemetrexed plus platinum for 4 cycles Treatment: Maintenance pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 every 3 weeks for six cycles versus until disease progression Objectives: Primary endpoint: 1\. Progression-free survival in the intention-to-treat population Secondary endpoints:

  1. 1.Cost-effectiveness
  2. 2.Overall survival
  3. 3.Quality-of-life (QoL)
  4. 4.Quality-adjusted progression-free survival (QA-PFS)
  5. 5.Quality-adjusted life expectancy (QALE)
  6. 6.Tumor response rate
  7. 7.Adverse events

Study Population

Patients with metastatic non-squamous mon-small-cell lung cancer

You may qualify if:

  • Males and females ≥ 20 years of age
  • ECOG performance status of 0-1
  • Histologically or cytologically verified non-squamous NSCLC
  • Stage IV disease, as defined by American Joint Committee on Cancer 7th edition staging, prior to first-line or second-line chemotherapy with pemetrexed plus platinum
  • At least one measurable lesion as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1
  • Completion of 4 cycles of first-line or second-line chemotherapy with pemetrexed plus platinum and documented radiographic evidence of a complete or partial tumor response or stable disease by RECIST 1.1
  • Adequate organ function, including followings:
  • Bone marrow:
  • Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 x 103 /μL White blood cell ≥ 3.0 x 103 /μL Platelet count ≥ 75 x 103 /μL Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL
  • Hepatic:
  • Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper normal limit (UNL) Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3.0 x UNL (≤ 5.0 x UNL if liver metastasis) Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3.0 x UNL (≤ 5.0 x UNL if liver metastasis)
  • Renal:
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥ 30 mL/min
  • Estimated life expectancy of at least 6 months
  • Ability to comply with study and follow-up procedures
  • +1 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Squamous cell and/or mixed small-cell, non-small-cell histology
  • Prior participation in any investigational drug study within 4 weeks
  • Prior malignancy other than NSCLC, except those remain disease-free for ≥ 3 years after curative treatment, non-melanoma skin cancer or in situ cervical cancer
  • Serious concomitant systemic disorders, such as acute or recent myocardial infarction (\< 6 months before enrollment), congestive heart failure with New York Heart Association functional class II\~IV, frequent exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (≥ 2 hospitalizations per year), or recent cerebrovascular disease (\< 6 months before enrollment)
  • Active uncontrolled infections or HIV infection
  • Current or planned pregnancy, or breast feeding in women
  • Symptomatic central nervous system metastasis unless the patient has completed successful local therapy and has been off corticosteroids for ≥ 4 weeks
  • Concurrent administration of any other antitumor therapy including chemotherapy, target therapy, immunotherapy, and hormone therapy
  • Psychiatric disorders that would compromise the patient's compliance or decision
