NCT03968419

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the major pathological response (MPR) rate of canakinumab given as a neoadjuvant treatment, either as single agent or in combination with pembrolizumab, in addition to evaluate the MPR of pembrolizumab as a single agent and the dynamic of the tumor microenvironment changes on treatment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Major Pathological Response (MPR) Rate at the Time of Surgery in Subjects Randomized to Canakinumab Monotherapy and in Combination With Pembrolizumab Based on Central Review

    MPR was defined as the percentage of participants with major pathological response (defined as ≤10% residual viable tumor cells on surgical samples). Any participant who had \>10% residual viable cancer cells, or started new antineoplastic therapy prior to surgery, or did not have the surgery performed, or had the surgery performed but with unevaluable MPR result, was considered as a non-responder. MPR was assessed at the time of surgery in all subjects randomized to canakinumab monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab based on central review.

    At time of surgery (up to 6 weeks after first dose of study treatment)

Secondary Outcomes (12)

  • Canakinumab Antidrug Antibodies (ADA) Prevalence

    Predose (0 hour) on Day 1 of Cycle 1 (Cycle=21 days)

  • Canakinumab ADA Incidence

    From baseline (Predose on Day 1 of Cycle 1) up to 130 days after last dose of study treatment (assessed up to 24.6 weeks). Cycle = 21 days

  • Pembrolizumab ADA Prevalence

    Predose (0 hour) on Day 1 of Cycle 1 (Cycle = 21 days)

  • Pembrolizumab ADA Incidence

    From baseline (Predose on Day 1 of Cycle 1) up to 26 days after last dose of study treatment (assessed up to 10.7 weeks). Cycle = 21 days

  • Overall Response Rate (ORR) Based on Local Investigator Assessment Using RECIST v1.1

    From date of randomization to date of surgery, assessed up to 6 weeks

  • +7 more secondary outcomes

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Histologically confirmed NSCLC stage IB-IIIA (per AJCC 8th edition), deemed suitable for primary resection by treating surgeon, except for N2 and T4 tumors.
  • Subject must have been eligible for surgery and with a planned surgical resection in approximately 4-6 weeks (after the first dose of study treatment).
  • A mandatory newly obtained tissue biopsy from primary site was required for study enrollment. An archival biopsy was also acceptable if obtained up to 5 months before first day of study treatment and if the subject did not go through antineoplastic systemic therapies between biopsy collection date and beginning of study treatment.
  • Eastern Cooperative oncology group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.

You may not qualify if:

  • Subjects with unresectable or metastatic disease.
  • History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to monoclonal antibodies, which in the opinion of the investigator may pose an increased risk of serious infusion reaction
  • Subjects who received prior systemic therapy (including chemotherapy, other anti-cancer therapies and any other antibody or drug specifically targeting T-cell co-stimulation or immune checkpoint pathways) in the past 3 years before screening
  • Active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years prior to randomization. Control of the disorder with replacement therapy was permitted
  • Subject with suspected or proven immunocompromised state or infections
