A Study Evaluating RO5479599 in Combination With Carboplatin and Paclitaxel in Participants With Advanced or Metastatic Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) of Squamous Histology
Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Participants with the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0-1
- Locally advanced or metastatic (stage IIIB or IV) squamous NSCLC
- No prior systemic chemotherapy, targeted therapy for metastatic NSCLC
- Evidence of at least one radiologically measurable lesion as per RECIST version 1.1
- Adequate hematological, liver and renal function
- Participants must agree to either remain completely abstinent or to use effective contraceptive methods from screening until 6 months after the last dose of study treatment
- Histologically confirmed squamous NSCLC participants eligible for enrollment must provide archival tumor biopsy tissue or if unavailable must be willing to undergo a fresh pretreatment primary tumor or metastatic biopsy
- Participants with Gilbert's Syndrome will be eligible for the study
Exclusion Criteria:
- Concurrent therapy with any other investigational drug
- History or clinical evidence of central nervous system (CNS) primary tumors or metastases
- Evidence of significant, uncontrolled concomitant diseases, which could affect compliance with the protocol or interpretation of results, including uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and/or significant cardiovascular disease or uncontrolled infection
- Any other diseases, metabolic dysfunction, a physical examination finding or a clinical laboratory finding, giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that would contraindicate the use of an investigational drug
- Major surgery or significant traumatic injury less than (<) 28 days prior to the first study treatment infusion (excluding biopsies) or anticipation of the need for major surgery during study treatment
- Pregnant or breast-feeding women
- History of other malignancies that could affect compliance with protocol or interpretation of results. Participants with malignancies diagnosed more than 5 years prior to study day one, adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix or basal or squamous cell skin cancer are generally eligible

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
RO5479599 + Carboplatin + Paclitaxel
RO5479599 800 milligrams (mg) will be administered in the Safety Run-In Phase by intravenous infusion q3w on Day 1 of 3-weekly cycles (each cycle of 21 days) in combination with carboplatin (to produce an area under the curve [AUC] of 6 mg/milliliter [mL]*minute) and paclitaxel 200 mg per square meter (mg/m^2) by intravenous infusion q3w for 4 to 6 cycles. Thereafter, RO5479599 will be continued as a monotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel may be continued at the investigator's discretion) until disease progression, death, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or study termination by sponsor, whichever occurs first.
