Utidelone Versus Docetaxel in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare Utidelone with Docetaxel in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer previously failed platinum-containing chemotherapy regimens. This phase III, open-label, randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of Utidelone and Docetaxel in the aforementioned lung cancers.

Phase 3 |
Detailed Description
In this study, 612 patients will be screened, enrolled and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the Utidelone (40 mg/m2/d intravenously once daily on days 1-5) treatment or the docetaxel (75 mg/m2/d, intravenously once on day 1) control group, stratified by prior immunotherapy status (PD-1/PD-L1 vs. no PD-1/PD-L1). Both groups will be treated in a 21-day cycle until disease progression or an occurrence of intolerable toxicities. Tumor assessments will be performed at baseline and every 6 weeks (±7 days) after randomization and continued until disease progression as assessed by RECIST v1.1 criteria, with or without discontinuation of study treatment; the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire will be used to assess patients' quality of life based on a signed informed consent.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: The treatment group-Utidelone monotherapy Drug: Utidelone Injection Dose: 40 mg/m2/d intravenously Regimen: once daily on days 1-5 in a 21-day cycle |
Drug: Utidelone Injection
Pretreatment: diphenhydramine 40 mg by intramuscular injection or oral administration, and dexamethasone10 mg and cimetidine 300 mg by intravenous injection 30 minutes prior to Utidelone iv drip at the first day of each cycle. The dose of dexamethasone and diphenhydramine can be halved by the physician based on patient's condition in the following day through the fifth day in each cycle, as detailed in the protocol.
Dexamethasone 8 mg per oral, bid, one day prior to docetaxel iv drip for 3 days.
The treatment group will be treated with Utidelone Injection at 40 mg/m2/d intravenously once daily on days 1-5 in a 21-day cycle until disease progression or an occurrence of intolerable toxicities.
|
| Active Comparator: The control group-Docetaxel monotherapy Drug: Docetaxel Injection Dose:75 mg/m2/d, administered intravenously Regimen: once on day 1 in a 21-day cycle |
Drug: Docetaxel Injection
Pretreatment: Dexamethasone should be administered orally for 3 days at 16 mg per day (8 mg twice daily), starting one day before the start of Docetaxel.
The control group will be treated with Docetaxel Injection at 75 mg/m2/d, administered intravenously once on day 1. Patients in this group will be treated in 21-day cycles until disease progression or intolerable toxicities occurs.
