Overview

Study Title

A Phase 3 Study of Pembrolizumab in Combination with Carboplatin/Taxane (Paclitaxel or Nab-paclitaxel) Followed by Pembrolizumab with or without Maintenance Olaparib in the First-line Treatment of Metastatic Squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Summary

This study will compare pembrolizumab (MK-3475) plus maintenance olaparib, vs. pembrolizumab plus maintenance olaparib placebo for the treatment of squamous NSCLC

Objective

Primary Objectives: To compare pembrolizumab plus maintenance olaparib with pembrolizumab plus placebo with respect to progression-free survival (PFS) assessed according to RECIST 1.1 (Section 4.2.1.1) by blinded independent central review (BICR). To compare pembrolizumab plus maintenance olaparib with pembrolizumab plus placebo with respect to overall survival (OS). Secondary Objectives: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of pembrolizumab plus maintenance olaparib compared to pembrolizumab plus placebo. To evaluate the change from baseline (at randomization) and the time to true deterioration (TTD) in global health status/quality of life (QoL), cough, chest pain, dyspnea and physical functioning following treatment with pembrolizumab plus maintenance olaparib compared to pembrolizumab plus placebo.

Treatments

Therapies

Chemotherapy (NOS); Immunotherapy; Therapy (NOS)

Medications

Inclusion Criteria

Have a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis squamous NSCLC.

Have Stage IV squamous NSCLC.

Have measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1.

Have not received prior systemic treatment for their advanced/metastatic NSCLC.

Have provided archival tumor tissue sample or newly obtained core or incisional biopsy of a tumor lesion not previously irradiated. Formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks are preferred to slides. Newly obtained biopsies are preferred to archived tissue. Note: Adequacy of biopsy specimen for the above analyses must be confirmed by the central laboratory before the participant can receive study intervention(s). Submission of another tumor specimen may be required prior to enrolling the participant, if adequate tumor tissue was not provided the first time.

Have a performance status of 0 or 1 on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status assessed within 7 days prior to the administration of study intervention.

Have a life expectancy of at least 3 months.

Has adequate organ function.

Male participants are eligible to participate if they agree to the following during the intervention period for at least 180 days after the last dose of study intervention: (a) Refrain from donating sperm (b) Be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long-term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent OR (a) Agree to use contraception, unless confirmed to be azoospermic (vasectomized or secondary to medical cause [Appendix 5]), as detailed below: (b) Agree to use male condom plus partner use of an additional contraceptive method when having penile-vaginal intercourse with a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) who is not currently pregnant. Note: Men with a pregnant or breastfeeding partner must agree to remain abstinent from penile-vaginal intercourse or use a male condom during each episode of penile-vaginal penetration. Contraceptive use by men should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies. If the contraception requirements in the local label for any of the study interventions is more stringent than the requirements above, the local label requirements are to be followed

A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant (Appendix 5), not breastfeeding, and at least 1 of the following conditions applies: a. Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) as defined in Appendix 5. OR b. A WOCBP who agrees to follow the contraceptive guidance in Appendix 5 during the treatment period and for at least 180 days following the last dose of pembrolizumab and olaparib or at least 180 days following the last dose of cytotoxic chemotherapy and agrees not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) to others or freeze/store for her own use for the purpose of reproduction during this period. The investigator should evaluate the potential for contraceptive method failure (ie, noncompliance, recently initiated) in relationship to the first dose of study intervention. A WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive urine pregnancy test as required by local regulations) within 24 hours (72 hours for serum) before the first dose of study intervention.

Contraceptive use by women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies. If the contraception requirements in the local label for any of the study interventions is more stringent than the requirements above, the local label requirements are to be followed.
