Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Veliparib + Carboplatin + Paclitaxel
Participants received veliparib 120 mg orally twice daily (BID) on Days -2 to 5 (7 consecutive days) of each 21-day cycle and carboplatin at an area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) 6 mg/mL/min and paclitaxel 200 mg/m² by intravenous (IV) infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for up to a maximum 6 cycles of treatment, until treatment toxicity which, in the Investigator's opinion, prohibited further therapy, or until radiographic progression.
|
Drug: Carboplatin
Carboplatin administered intravenously over approximately 15 to 30 minutes at (AUC 6 mg/mL/min) immediately following paclitaxel infusion. Drug: Veliparib Capsules taken orally twice a day, 12 hours apart.
Other Name: ABT-888 Drug: Paclitaxel Paclitaxel administered intravenously over 3 hours at a dose of 200 mg/m². |
Placebo Comparator: Placebo + Carboplatin + Paclitaxel
Participants received placebo orally BID on Days -2 to 5 (7 consecutive days) of each 21-day cycle and carboplatin at an AUC 6 mg/mL/min and paclitaxel 200 mg/m² by IV infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for up to a maximum 6 cycles of treatment, until treatment toxicity which, in the Investigator's opinion, prohibited further therapy, or until radiographic progression.

Drug: Paclitaxel Paclitaxel administered intravenously over 3 hours at a dose of 200 mg/m². Drug: Placebo to veliparib Capsules taken orally twice a day, 12 hours apart. |
- Overall Survival (OS) in current smokers [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years from first dose of study drug ]Time to death for a given subject will be defined as the number of days from the date that the subject was randomized to the date of the subject's death.
- Overall Survival (OS) in all subjects [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years from first dose of study drug ]Time to death for a given subject will be defined as the number of days from the date that the subject was randomized to the date of the subject's death.
- Progressive-Free Survival (PFS) in current smokers and in all subjects [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years from first dose of study drug ]Defined as the number of days from the date that the subject was randomized to the date the subject experiences an event of disease progression or to the date of death (all causes of mortality) if disease progression is not reached.
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) in current smokers and in all subjects [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years from first dose of study drug ]Objective response rate is defined as the proportion of subjects with complete or partial response as determined by the investigator per RECIST (version 1.1)
- Change in Quality of Life: European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Core 30 Question Questionnaire (EORTC-QLQ-C30). [ Time Frame: From Screening (prior to dosing) up to 2 years ]
- Change in Quality of Life: European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Lung Cancer 13 Question Questionnaire (EORTC-LC13). [ Time Frame: From Screening (prior to dosing) up to 2 years ]
- Change in Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status [ Time Frame: From Screening (prior to dosing) up to 2 years ]
- Change in Quality of Life: European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions-5 Levels Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) [ Time Frame: From Screening (prior to dosing) up to 2 years ]
- Duration of Response [ Time Frame: From complete or partial response to disease progression (up to 3 years from randomization). ]The duration of overall response for a given subject will be defined as the number of days from the day the criteria are met for Complete or Partial Response (whichever is recorded first) to the date that Progressive Disease (PD) is objectively documented.
