Brief Summary:
The primary purpose of the study was to compare the efficacy and safety of canakinumab versus placebo as adjuvant therapy in adult subjects with stages II -IIIA according to the 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC)/Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) and the subset of IIIB (T\>5cm N2 disease) completely resected (R0) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Detailed Description:
This was a phase III, multicenter, randomized, double-blind study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of canakinumab as adjuvant therapy in adult patients with stages AJCC/UICC v.8 II-IIIA and IIIB (T\>5 cm N2) completely resected (R0) NSCLC.
Approximately 1500 patients were planned to be randomized 1:1 to canakinumab, 200 mg subcutaneously (s.c.) every 3 weeks or matching placebo s.c. every 3 weeks. Patients were planned to continue their assigned treatment until they completed 18 cycles (cycle= 21 days) or experienced any one of the following: non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) disease recurrence as determined by Investigator; unacceptable toxicity that precluded further treatment; treatment discontinuation at the discretion of the Investigator or patient; start of a new antineoplastic therapy; death, or loss to follow-up, whichever occurred first. All patients who discontinued from the study treatment were to be followed up every 12 weeks for survival until the final OS analysis or death, loss to follow-up or withdrawal of consent for survival follow-up.
