Study Description

Brief Summary:

The aim of this study is to combine AZD1775 with standard front-line chemotherapy in subjects with advanced NSCLC.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Previously Untreated Stage IV Non-Squamous Non Small Cell Lung Cancer	Drug: AZD1775; Drug: AZD1775 Matching Placebo; Drug: pemetrexed; Drug: carboplatin	Phase 2

Detailed Description:

This is a randomised, phase II trial comparing AZD1775 plus pemetrexed and carboplatin followed by maintenance AZD1775 and pemetrexed versus pemetrexed and carboplatin followed by maintenance pemetrexed in patients with previously untreated metastatic non-squamous NSCLC with TP53 mutations. The primary endpoint of the trial is assessment of progression-free survival (PFS).

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: AZD1775 + carboplatin + pemetrexed; Randomised: AZD1775 + pemetrexed + carboplatin followed by maintenance AZD1775 + pemetrexed versus pemetrexed and carboplatin followed by maintenance pemetrexed.	Drug: AZD1775; AZD1775 is a highly selective, adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) competitive, small molecule inhibitor of the WEE 1 kinase that sensitizes tumor cells to cytotoxic agents and is being developed for the treatment of advanced solid tumors and p53 pathway deficient malignancies; Other Name: MK-1775; Drug: pemetrexed; This drug is a part of a general group of chemotherapy drugs called anti-metabolites. It prevents cells from using folate to make DNA and RNA. Because cancer cells need these substances to make new cells, this drug helps to stop the growth of cancer cells.; Drug: carboplatin; This drug is a platinum chemotherapy drug that acts like an alkylating agent. It stops the growth of cancer cells, causing the cells to die.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Progression Free Survival [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
   Progression free survival is defined as the time from randomisation until the date of objective disease progression or death (by any cause in the absence of progression) regardless of whether the subject withdraws from randomised therapy or receives another anti-cancer therapy prior to progression.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Assess the Objective Response Rates in Each Arm [ Time Frame: Up to a maximum of 4 treatment cycles (treatment cycles will be repeated every 21 days) ]
   The objective response rate is defined as the number of the subjects with a confirmed best overall response of CR or PR divided by the number of subjects in the Full Analysis Set (FAS) for whom measureable disease is present at baseline
2. Assess the Disease Control Rate in Each Treatment Arm [ Time Frame: Up to a maximum of 4 treatment cycles (treatment cycles will be repeated every 21 days) ]
   the disease control rate is defined as the percentage of FAS subjects with a best overall response of CR, PR or SD).
3. Assess the Duration of Response in Each Treatment Arm [ Time Frame: Up to a maximum of 4 treatment cycles (treatment cycles will be repeated every 21 days) ]
   Duration of response is defined as the time from the date of first documented response until the date of documented progression or any cause death.
4. Assess Overall Survival in Each Treatment Arm [ Time Frame: Up to a maximum of 4 treatment cycles (treatment cycles will be repeated every 21 days) ]
   Overall survival is defined as the time from the date of randomization until death due to any cause.
