ONC-392 Versus Docetaxel in Metastatic NSCLC That Progressed on PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitors
ID: NCT05671510
Our intelligence engine has synthesized this trial record to answer your most important questions in clear, simple terms:
The goal of this Phase 3 clinical trial is to study the safety and efficacy of the nextgen anti-CTLA-4 antibody, gotistobart (ONC-392/BNT316), in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who have disease progressed on anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibody based therapy. The study will test whether gotistobart, in comparison with chemotherapy agent docetaxel, could prolong the life for NSCLC patients. Patients will be randomized to be treated with either gotistobart or docetaxel, IV infusion, once every 21 days, for up to 17 cycles in approximately one year.
Read Full Scientific Objectives & Methods
This is a seamless 2-stage, randomized, open-label, active-controlled, Phase 3 study. The study population consists of patients with NSCLC who progressed on PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor. Approximately 630 patients will be enrolled. Two gotistobart dosing regimens will be tested in Stage I, and one will be selected for Stage II. Stage I, the dose-confirmation stage, will assess the efficacy and safety of two gotistobart dosing regimens (3 mg/kg Q3W and 6 mg/kg Q3W with 2 loading doses of 10 mg/kg Q3W) in comparison to docetaxel 75 mg/m2 Q3W. Stage II will assess the safety and efficacy of gotistobart at the selected dosing regimen versus docetaxel on squamous cell NSCLC. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive either gotistobart at the selected dosing regimen or docetaxel.
Gotistobart will be administrated through IV infusion over 60 minutes, once every 21 days in assigned dose.
Docetaxel will be administrated through IV infusion over 60 minutes, once every 21 days in 75mg/m2 dose.
Treatment Arms Description
Gotistobart will be administrated by IV infusion in 60 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. A cycle is 21 days.
Docetaxel will be administrated by IV infusion in 60 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. A cycle is 21 days.

Primary Outcome Measures
- Overall Survival (OS) — Time Frame: 36 months
OS is defined as the time from randomization to the date of death by any cause. Kaplan-Meier estimates of median OS time will be presented by treatment arm with two sided 95% CIs.
View Secondary Outcome Measures (3)
- Objective response rate (ORR) — Time Frame: 36 months
Objective response rate (ORR) as assessed by the Investigator per RECIST 1.1
- Progression-free survival (PFS) — Time Frame: 36 months
Progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by Investigator per RECIST 1.1
- Treatment emergent adverse events, treatment related adverse events and immune related adverse events. — Time Frame: 36 months
Incidence of TEAEs, TRAEs, irAEs will be calculated. The AEs leading to treatment discontinuation will be recorded.
