Table 1. . Summary of the LUME-Lung 1 study: key points.
Factor | Details |
---|---|
Study design | International, randomized, double-blind, controlled Phase III study |
Patients | 1300 patients with advanced NSCLC who had progressed after first-line chemotherapy |
Treatments | Docetaxel 75 mg/m2 by intravenous infusion on day 1, plus nintedanib 200 mg twice daily orally or matching placebo on days 2–21 of a 21-day cycle Treatment cycles were continued until patients experienced unacceptable AEs or disease progression |
Primary end point: progression-free survival (PFS) – how long patients live with the disease without it getting worse – as determined by an independent central review panel | Nintedanib plus docetaxel was found to improve PFS significantly compared with placebo plus docetaxel in the overall patient population, regardless of histology as well as in patients with adenocarcinoma histology |
Key secondary end point: overall survival (OS) | OS was also significantly improved in patients with adenocarcinoma NSCLC In the total adenocarcinoma population, median OS was greater than 1 year in the nintedanib plus docetaxel group and OS was significantly greater than in the placebo plus docetaxel group (median: 12.6 vs 10.3 months; HR: 0.83 [95% CI: 0.70–0.99]; p = 0.0359) |
1-year survival probability | 52.7% in the nintedanib plus docetaxel compared with 44.7% in the placebo plus docetaxel group |
2-year survival probability | 25.7% in the nintedanib plus docetaxel group compared with 19.1% in the placebo plus docetaxel group |
AE: Adverse event; HR: Hazard ratio; OS: Overall survival; PFS: Progression-free survival.
