A Study of Carboplatin, Pemetrexed Plus Placebo vs Carboplatin, Pemetrexed Plus 1 or 2 Truncated Courses of Demcizumab in Subjects With Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (DENALI)
Nonsquamous Nonsmall Cell Neoplasm of Lung

About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Nonsquamous Nonsmall Cell Neoplasm of Lung focused on measuring Phase 2, histologically, confirmed, malignancy, metastatic, pemetrexed, carboplatin, carcinoma, non small cell lung, lung neoplasms, lung diseases
Eligibility Criteria
Main Inclusion Criteria:
- Signed Informed Consent Form
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed Stage IV non-squamous NSCLC
- Availability of FFPE (formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded) tumor tissue, either fresh core-needle-biopsied or archived
- Age > or = to 21 years
- ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status of 0 or 1
- Disease that is measurable per RECIST v1.1
- Adequate organ and marrow function
- For women of childbearing potential, agreement to use two effective forms of contraception
Main Exclusion Criteria:
- Histologically or cytologically documented, advanced, mixed non-small cell and small cell tumors or mixed adenosquamous carcinomas
- NSCLC with known EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor ) mutation or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene translocation (such as EML4 [echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4]-ALK [anaplastic lymphoma kinase])
- Prior or ongoing therapy (including chemotherapy, antibody therapy, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, hormonal therapy, or investigational therapy) for the treatment of Stage IV non-squamous NSCLC
- Evidence of tumor invading major blood vessels, cavitation of one or more pulmonary tumor mass(es) or tracheo-esophageal fistula
- Brain metastases, leptomeningeal disease, uncontrolled seizure disorder, or active neurologic disease
- Malignancies other than non-squamous NSCLC successfully treated within 3 years prior to randomization (with the exception of certain early-stage cancers)
- History of a significant allergic reaction attributed to humanized or human monoclonal antibody therapy
- Significant intercurrent illness defined as an illness that may result in the subject's death prior to their death from non-squamous NSCLC and/or significantly limit their ability to comply with the requirements of this study
- Recent hemoptysis >2.5 mL or serious bleeding from another site, known bleeding disorder or coagulopathy or therapeutic anti-coagulation
- Major surgical procedure, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to randomization, or anticipation of need for major surgical procedure during the course of the study
