NCT03003962

Brief Summary

This is a randomized, open-label, multi-center Phase III study to determine the efficacy and safety of durvalumab versus platinum-based SoC chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC in patients who are epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) wild-type and with PD-L1 high expression (PEARL)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Overall Survival (OS)

    OS is defined as the time from the date of randomization until death due to any cause (date of death or censoring-date of randomization + 1). Any participant not known to have died at the time of analysis was censored based on the last recorded date on which the participant was known to be alive.

    From date of randomization until death due to any cause. Assessed up to a maximum of approximately 69 months [data cut-off (DCO) 27 October 2022]

  • OS in Participants With LREM

    OS is defined as the time from the date of randomization until death due to any cause (date of death or censoring-date of randomization + 1). Any participant not known to have died at the time of analysis was censored based on the last recorded date on which the participant was known to be alive.

    From date of randomization until death due to any cause. Assessed up to a maximum of approximately 69 months (DCO 27 October 2022)

Secondary Outcomes (42)

  • OS in PD-L1 TC >= 50% Analysis Set

    From date of randomization until death due to any cause. Assessed up to a maximum of approximately 69 months (DCO 27 October 2022)

  • OS in PD-L1 TC >= 50% LREM Analysis Set

    From date of randomization until death due to any cause. Assessed up to a maximum of approximately 69 months (DCO 27 October 2022)

  • Progression Free Survival (PFS) Based on Investigator Assessment According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1)

    Tumor assessments (per RECIST 1.1) every 6 weeks for the first 48 weeks relative to the date of randomization and then every 8 weeks thereafter until confirmed objective disease progression (up to a maximum of approximately 69 months DCO 27 October 2022)

  • PFS Based on Investigator Assessment According to RECIST 1.1 in LREM Analysis Set

    Tumor assessments (per RECIST 1.1) every 6 weeks for the first 48 weeks relative to the date of randomization and then every 8 weeks thereafter until confirmed objective disease progression (up to a maximum of approximately 69 months)

  • PFS Based on Investigator Assessment According to RECIST 1.1 in PD-L1 TC >= 50% Analysis Set

    Tumor assessments (per RECIST 1.1) every 6 weeks for the first 48 weeks relative to the date of randomization and then every 8 weeks thereafter until confirmed objective disease progression (up to a maximum of approximately 69 months)
