Abstract

Abstract: Background: Pembrolizumab, a PD-1 inhibitor combined with platinum-based Ctx is standard therapy for eligible pts without a targetable mutation, stage IIIB/IV NSCLC. Currently, there is no data to guide treatment following progression on sequential/concomitant use of platinum-based Ctx and PD-1 inhibitors. Activation of inflammation and elevated baseline c-reactive protein (CRP) levels are associated with a lower response to immunotherapies. Canakinumab is a high-affinity anti-IL-1β monoclonal antibody that showed a significant reduction in the incidence of fatal and nonfatal lung cancer in myocardial infarction pts with increased CRP levels (CANTOS study). Trial design: CANOPY-2 (NCT03626545) is a multicenter, phase 3 study evaluating the safety and efficacy of docetaxel ± canakinumab in pts with squamous/non-squamous, stage IIIB-IV NSCLC. This study includes a safety run-in part (part 1 – open-label) to confirm recommended phase 3 regimen (RP3R) to be used in the randomized phase 3 part (part 2 – double-blind, placebo-controlled). Key inclusion criteria: adult pts pretreated with one prior platinum-based Ctx and one prior PD-(L)1 inhibitor therapy for locally advanced or metastatic disease, either together/sequentially and then progressed; ECOG PS 0-1. In part 1, ∼9 pts will be enrolled to have at least 6 evaluable pts and ∼226 pts will be randomized (1:1, stratified by the number of prior lines of therapy and histology) in part 2 to docetaxel ± canakinumab. Primary objectives: to confirm RP3R of canakinumab + docetaxel, as determined by the incidence of dose-limiting toxicity in the first 42 days of administration (part 1) and overall survival (part 2). Secondary objectives: overall response rate, disease control rate, duration of response, time to response, progression-free survival by investigator (RECIST v1.1), safety, PK, immunogenicity of canakinumab, and patient-reported outcomes. Part 1 is completed and part 2 is ongoing after confirming canakinumab 300 mg Q3W as RP3R. Clinical trial identification: ACZ885V2301/NCT03626545. Legal entity responsible for the study: Novartis.
