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.
