Trial Information

A Randomized Discontinuation Phase II Trial of Ridaforolimus in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Patients With KRAS Mutations


Allocation and Arms Additional Information: All Patients will receive an 8-week open-label
lead-in treatment of ridaforolimus. After this 8 week period patients will be re-assessed
for disease status. Patients who are stable after 8 weeks are randomized in a double-blind
fashion to continue treatment with ridaforolimus or to a placebo until disease progression.
(Those patients who have stable disease but are randomized to placebo may cross-over to
open-label ridaforolimus at the time of disease progression.) Those patients with tumor
shrinkage during the open-label lead-in treatment will continue on open-label ridaforolimus,
while those patients who have disease progression at 8-weeks are taken off-study.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Patient has histologically confirmed stage IIIB/IV non-small cell lung cancer

- Patient has a documented mutation of the KRAS gene

- Patient has evidence of disease progression following 1 but no more than 3 prior
chemotherapy regimens

- A minimum of 4 weeks has passed since the most recent anti-cancer treatment

- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test prior to start of
therapy and must use an approved contraceptive method for the duration of the study

- Patient has adequate organ function

- Patient has performance status of <=2 on Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG)
performance scale

- Patient is >=18 years of age

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patient has received more than 2 prior chemotherapy regimens for the treatment lung
cancer

- Patient is known to have active brain metastases

- Patient is currently participating or has participated in an investigational drug
study within 30 days

- Patient is known to be Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) positive or has a known
history of Hepatitis B or C

- Patient has an active infection requiring prescribed intervention

- Patient has newly diagnosed or un-controlled Type 1 or 2 diabetes
