The company reported that the CONTERNO trial which is a worldwide, randomised Phase 3 trial of cosibelimab in conjunction with pemetrexed and platinum chemotherapy for the first-line care of patients with non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer, has started. Rate of survival (OS) is the main goal for the CONTERNO Phase 3 trial, which is developed to assist full regulatory approvals globally.
The CONTERNO trial compares cosibelimab (1200 mg every three weeks) with pemetrexed and the platinum chemotherapy selected by investigator (carboplatin or cisplatin) in individuals with previously unmanaged stage IV non-squamous NSCLC and no EGFR mutations or ALK translocations to pemetrexed and platinum chemotherapy alone in patients with previously untreated stage IV non-squamous NSCLC and no EGFR mutations OS is the most important endpoint. Progression-free survival, objective response rate, and safety are all important secondary goals. A total of 560 people will be randomly assigned to receive cosibelimab in combination with chemotherapy or chemotherapy alone in a 2:1 ratio.
