Brief Summary
Primary Objectives:
- Study was designed with multiple primary endpoints analyzed on randomized participants at the time of the cut-off date for each given analysis (progression free survival \[PFS\] and overall survival \[OS\])
- Study success was defined either on PFS or OS
- The primary objective was to determine whether tusamitamab ravtansine improves the progression free survival (PFS) when compared to docetaxel in participants with metastatic non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) expressing CEACAM5 greater than or equal to 2+ in intensity in at least 50% of the tumor cell population and previously treated with standard-of-care platinum-based chemotherapy and an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)
- The primary objective was to determine whether tusamitamab ravtansine improves the overall survival (OS) when compared with docetaxel in participants with metastatic non-squamous NSCLC expressing CEACAM5 greater than or equal to 2+ in intensity in at least 50% of the tumor cell population and previously treated with standard-of-care platinum-based chemotherapy and an immune checkpoint inhibitor. Secondary Objectives:
- Compared the objective response rate (ORR) of tusamitamab ravtansine with docetaxel
- Compared the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of tusamitamab ravtansine with docetaxel
- Evaluated the safety of tusamitamab ravtansine compared to docetaxel
- Assessed the duration of response (DOR) of tusamitamab ravtansine as compared with docetaxel

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Progression-free Survival (PFS)
PFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documentation of objective PD as assessed by radiological review committee (IRC) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) definitions or death due to any cause before the study cut-off date, whichever occurred first. PD was defined as unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions; appearance of 1 or more new lesions; at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 millimeters (mm).
Tumor assessments performed at screening, and every 8 weeks +/-5 days thereafter, up to 189 weeks
Overall Survival (OS)
Overall survival was defined as the time from date of randomization to date of death due to any cause.
From date of first study treatment administration (Day 1) until the date of death due to any cause, up to 189 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (8)
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Tumor assessments performed at screening, and every 8 weeks +/-5 days thereafter, up to 189 weeks
Time to Deterioration (TTD) in Disease-related Symptoms as Determined by European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire and Lung Cancer-specific Module With 13 Items (EORTC QLQ LC-13)
Predose on Day 1 of Cycle 1, then on Day 1 of every 2 docetaxel Cycles, or every 3 tusamitamab ravtansine Cycles (i.e., every 6 weeks) up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug administration, up to 151 weeks
TTD in Physical Function as Determined by European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Cancer-specific Module With 30 Items (EORTC QLQ C30)
Predose on Day 1 of Cycle 1, then on Day 1 of every 2 docetaxel Cycles, or every 3 tusamitamab ravtansine Cycles (i.e., every 6 weeks) up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug administration, up to 151 weeks
TTD in Role Function Measured by EORTC QLQ C30
Predose on Day 1 of Cycle 1, then on Day 1 of every 2 docetaxel Cycles, or every 3 tusamitamab ravtansine Cycles (i.e., every 6 weeks) up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug administration, up to 151 weeks
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)
From date of first study treatment administration (Day 1) up to 30 days after the last dose of study treatment administration, up to 151 weeks
- +3 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
SAR408701 (tusamitamab ravtansine)
EXPERIMENTALParticipants received tusamitamab ravtansine 100 milligrams per square meter (mg/m\^2) by intravenous (IV) infusion, once every 2 weeks (Q2W) until objective progressive disease (PD), unacceptable adverse event/toxicity, upon participant's request to stop treatment, or Investigator decision, whichever occurred first (maximum exposure: 147 weeks).
Docetaxel
ACTIVE COMPARATORParticipants received docetaxel 75 mg/m\^2 by IV infusion, once every 3 weeks (Q3W) until objective PD, unacceptable adverse event/toxicity, upon participant's request to stop treatment, or Investigator decision, whichever occurred first (maximum exposure: 115 weeks).
Interventions
