Study Summary

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

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.

Trial Design

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is this trial being conducted in numerous hospitals throughout the state?

"Currently, this trial is occurring at 10 different sites. These locations include Saint Louis, Los Angeles and Washington D.C., with other cities hosting the remaining locations. If you are selected for the study, it would be ideal to choose the site nearest you to limit travel as much as possible."

Answered by AI

What are the objectives of this test?

"The primary outcome of this clinical trial, as measured by the sponsor Celgene, is the Kaplan Meier Estimate of Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Based on Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Methodology. This will be evaluated over a period of 61 weeks for the CC-486 + PBZ arm and 60 weeks for the PBZ + Placebo arm. In addition to the primary outcome, this trial will also be assessing secondary outcomes including Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of CC-486, Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of CC-486, and Kaplan Meier"

Answered by AI

Does CC-486 have any harmful side effects for people?

"The Power team has assessed CC-486's safety to be a 2. This is because, although there is some data supporting its safety, there is no evidence yet of its efficacy."

Answered by AI

What are the primary maladies that CC-486 is designed to target?

"CC-486 is a medication that oncologists typically prescribe to patients with relapsed or refractory mediastinal large b-cell lymphoma. Additionally, this drug can also be used as part of treatment for conditions like complete blood count and induction chemotherapy."

Answered by AI

How many people are volunteering to test this new treatment?

"This clinical trial is no longer recruiting patients. It was first posted on 10/9/2015 and the most recent edit was on 9/6/2022. If you are looking for other studies, there are currently 1959 clinical trials actively recruiting patients with carcinoma, non-small-cell lung and 1174 trials for CC-486 actively enrolling participants."

Answered by AI

Could you provide more context on CC-486's medical research history?

"Currently, 155 phase 3 trials and 1174 active clinical trials are studying CC-486. The global scope of these studies is large, with 41658 locations running experiments related to CC-486."

Answered by AI

Is this research actively looking for new participants?

"This study is not seeking patients at the moment. The date when this information was last updated was September 6th, 2022 and the trial was first posted on October 9th, 2015. For those looking for other studies, 1174 trials involving CC-486 and 1959 trials for carcinoma, non-small-cell lung are actively enrolling patients."
