Ongoing clinical trials of immunotherapies for non-small-cell lung cancer

Intervention Study design Estimated enrolment (n) Stage Main eligibility requirements Endpoints
START Liposomal BLP25 or placebo Phase 3 randomised, double-blind placebo-controlled 1476 Unresectable stage III Stable disease or objective response after primary chemoradiotherapy. Two or more cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy, ≥50 Gy radiation chemotherapy, ≥50 Gy radiation Primary: OS. Secondary: time to symptom progression, time to disease progression, 1, 2, and 3 year survival, safety
INSPIRE Liposomal BLP25 or placebo Phase 3 randomised, double-blind placebo-controlled 420 Unresectable stage III Stable disease or objective response after primary chemoradiotherapy. Two or more cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy, ≥50 Gy radiation Primary: OS. Secondary: time to symptom progression, time to disease progression, PFS, time to treatment failure, safety
STOP Belagenpumatucel-L or placebo Phase 3 randomised, double-blind placebo-controlled 506 Unresectable stage III or IV Stable disease or objective response after primary platinum-based chemoradiotherapy Primary: OS. Secondary: PFS, quality of life, time to progression, objective response, response duration, rate of CNS metastases development, safety
MAGRIT MAGE-A3 vaccine or placebo Phase 3 randomised, double-blind placebo-controlled 2270 Completely resected, stage IB, II, or IIIA Tumour expresses MAGE-A3 gene. Primary: disease-free survival. Secondary: lung-cancer-specific survival, OS, anti-MAGE-A3 and anti-protein D seropositivityrate, adverse events
Randomised trial of ipilimumab in squamous cell lung cancer Ipilimumab, carboplatin, paclitaxel or placebo, carboplatin, and paclitaxel Phase 3 randomised,double-blind placebo-controlled 920 Stage IV or recurrent Squamous cell histology Primary: OS. Secondary: PFS, objective response
FORTIS-M Talactoferrin or placebo Phase 3 randomised, double-blind placebo-controlled 720 Stage IIIB or IV Progressive disease after two or more previous systemic therapies Primary: OS. Secondary: PFS, objective response, disease stabilisation rate, safety
FORTIS-C Talactoferrin, carboplatin, paclitaxel or placebo, carboplatin, paclitaxel Phase 3 randomised, double-blind placebo-controlled 1100 Stage IIIB or IV No previous systemic anti-cancer therapy for non-small-cell lung cancer Primary: OS, PFS. Secondary: objective rate, disease stabilisation rate, safety

MAGE=melanoma-associated antigen. PFS=progression-free survival. OS=overall survival.
