A Study of Sintilimab Compared With Docetaxel or Pemetrexed as Second-line Treatment for Patients With Stage IV Nonsquamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer After Failure With Platinum-Containing Chemotherapy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This prospective, single-center, randomized, controlled study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of sintilimab compared with docetaxel or pemetrexed as second-line treatment for patients with stage IV nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer with wild-type EGFR after failure with platinum-containing chemotherapy. Treatment may continue as long as participants are experiencing clinical benefit as assessed by the investigator, i.e., in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or symptomatic deterioration attributed to disease progression.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Arm A: Sintilimab Participants will receive Sintilimab as long as they continue to experience clinical benefit in the opinion of the investigator until unacceptable toxicity or symptomatic deterioration attributed to disease progression as determined by the investigator. |
Drug: Sintilimab
Sintilimab will be administered intravenously at a fixed dose of 200 milligrams (mg) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle.
Other Names:
|
| Active Comparator: Arm B: Chemotherapy (Docetaxel or Pemetrexed) Participants randomized to the chemotherapy arm will receive docetaxel or pemetrexed until disease progression per standard RECIST v1.1 or unacceptable toxicity. |
Drug: Docetaxel
Docetaxel 75 milligrams per square meter (mg/m^2) will be administered intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle.
Drug: Pemetrexed
Pemetrexed 500 mg/m^2 will be administered intravenously on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Overall Survival (OS) [Approximately 21 months]
Overall Survival (OS) was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause. Data for participants who were not reported as dead at the time of analysis was censored at the date when they were last known to be alive.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) [Approximately 21 months]
ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with confirmed objective tumor response, complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as determined by investigator using RECIST v1.1 criteria.
- Progression-free survival (PFS) [Approximately 21 months]
PFS was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of first documented disease progression or death, whichever occurs first. Disease progression was determined based on investigator assessment using response evaluation criteria In solid tumors (RECIST) v1.1.
- Duration of response (DOR) [Approximately 21 months]
DOR was defined as the duration from the first tumor assessment that supports the participant's objective response (CR or PR, whichever is first recorded) to disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
- Emergence of adverse events(AEs) [Approximately 21 months]
AEs graded using CTCAE (Version 4.0) criteria.
