Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) [From randomization until the earliest of disease progression, death or (Phase II: cut-off date of 4-March-2016; up to 889 days) (Phase III: cut-off date of 16-March-2018; up to 31 months)]

    This outcome measure presents progression-free survival. Disease progression was defined according to the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) criteria. Progression-free survival time was calculated as the duration from the date of randomization to the date of disease progression or death, whichever occurred first. For patients with known date of progression (or death): PFS (days) = min (date of progression, date of death) - date of randomization + 1 day. For patients without progression or death, PFS was censored at the last imaging date that showed no disease progression: PFS (days, censored) = date of last imaging showing no progression - date randomization + 1 day.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Overall Survival (OS) [From randomization until the earliest of disease progression, death or (Phase II: cut-off date of 4-March-2016; up to 889 days) (Phase III: cut-off date of 16-March-2018; up to 31 months)]

    Overall survival was defined as the duration of time from randomization to time of death. This is the key secondary endpoint of the trial.

  2. Objective Response According to Modified RECIST- Investigator Assessment [Tumour imaging was to be performed every 6 weeks until disease progression, death or start of subsequent anti-cancer therapy, whichever occurred earlier; up to 54 months]

    Objective response (best overall tumour response of confirmed complete response [CR] or confirmed partial response [PR]). Complete Response: disappearance of all target lesions Partial Response: at least a 30 % decrease in the total tumour measurement of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline total tumour measurement. Percentage of Patients with confirmed objective response is presented. This endpoint was only evaluated for Phase III part.

  3. Disease Control According to Modified RECIST- Investigator Assessment [Tumour imaging was to be performed every 6 weeks until disease progression, death or start of subsequent anti-cancer therapy, whichever occurred earlier; up to 54 months]

    Disease control (best overall response of confirmed CR or PR, or Stable Disease (SD) that lasted ≥36 days) according to modified RECIST. Percentage of Patients with Disease control is presented. This endpoint was only evaluated for Phase III part.

Recruitment Details Patients were initially treated with combination therapy consisting of nintedanib or placebo plus standard chemotherapy (pemetrexed/cisplatin), for a maximum of 6 cycles of 21 days duration. After completion of combination therapy, patients who had not progressed continued with nintedanib or placebo monotherapy.
Pre-assignment Detail All participants were screened for eligibility to participate in trial. Subjects attended specialist sites to ensure that they (the participants) met all implemented inclusion/exclusion criteria. Participants were not to be entered to trial if any of the specific entry criteria was violated. PD: Progressive Disease

Outcome Measures

1. Primary Outcome
Title Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Description This outcome measure presents progression-free survival. Disease progression was defined according to the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) criteria. Progression-free survival time was calculated as the duration from the date of randomization to the date of disease progression or death, whichever occurred first. For patients with known date of progression (or death): PFS (days) = min (date of progression, date of death) - date of randomization + 1 day. For patients without progression or death, PFS was censored at the last imaging date that showed no disease progression: PFS (days, censored) = date of last imaging showing no progression - date randomization + 1 day.
Time Frame From randomization until the earliest of disease progression, death or (Phase II: cut-off date of 4-March-2016; up to 889 days) (Phase III: cut-off date of 16-March-2018; up to 31 months)

3. Secondary Outcome
Title Objective Response According to Modified RECIST- Investigator Assessment
Description Objective response (best overall tumour response of confirmed complete response [CR] or confirmed partial response [PR]). Complete Response: disappearance of all target lesions Partial Response: at least a 30 % decrease in the total tumour measurement of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline total tumour measurement. Percentage of Patients with confirmed objective response is presented. This endpoint was only evaluated for Phase III part.
Time Frame Tumour imaging was to be performed every 6 weeks until disease progression, death or start of subsequent anti-cancer therapy, whichever occurred earlier; up to 54 months
