Follow Up from day 1 of study drug treatment to the date of disease progression; up to the clinical cut-off date of 12 april 2017; overall maximum treatment duration was 61 weeks for the cc-486 + pbz arm and 60 weeks for the pbz + placebo arm

Summary

This trial will test whether adding CC-486 to pembrolizumab improves outcomes for patients with NSCLC that has progressed after prior treatment.

See full description
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have had only one prior platinum-based chemotherapy. They must not be pregnant, agree to contraception, and have good organ function. Excluded are those with certain medical conditions, previous treatments like azacitidine, or severe allergies to trial drugs.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if combining CC-486 (oral azacitidine) with pembrolizumab improves outcomes in NSCLC compared to pembrolizumab alone. Participants previously treated for advanced NSCLC will either receive the combination therapy or just pembrolizumab.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to immune system activation such as inflammation of organs, infusion-related reactions, fatigue, digestive issues and increased risk of infections due to the immunotherapy nature of pembrolizumab and possible similar effects from CC-486.

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Pembrolizumab plus PlaceboExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
In this control arm, participants will receive pembrolizumab as a 30 minute IV infusion on day 1 of each 21-day cycle and placebo will be administered by mouth daily on days 1 to 14 of each 21 day cycle. Placebo will also be administered in order to allow blinding of the study.
Group II: CC-486 plus PembrolizumabExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
In the experimental arm, participants will receive a combination of two investigational drugs, CC-486 and pembrolizumab every 21-days.
