Non-small-cell Lung Cancer Clinical Trial
— PERSEEOfficial title:
Randomized, Open-label, Controlled Phase III Trial Comparing Pembrolizumab-platinum Based Chemotherapy Combination With Pembrolizumab Monotherapy in First Line Treatment of Non-small-cell Lung Cancers (NSCLC) With PDL1 Expression ≥50%
PERSEE is a French national phase 3 academic study comparing the chemotherapy-pembrolizumab combination to pembrolizumab alone as a first-line treatment for advanced NSCLC molecularly defined by a PDL1 expression ≥ 50% of tumour cells and no EGFR mutations or ALK rearrangement. The main hypothesis is the superiority of the chemo-immunotherapy combination over mono-immunotherapy in terms of progression-free survival evaluated by an independent review committee. One of the anticipated benefits of using the chemotherapy-pembrolizumab combination starting from the first line setting for NSCLC patients with PD L1 ≥ 50% is a reduced risk of early progression, which is known to occur with pembrolizumab monotherapy, and therefore, a better PFS.

Other | Following of the quality of life with European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire of Cancer patients. | The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire with 30 questions developed to assess the quality of life of cancer patients. An essential aspect of the "modular" approach to QOL assessment adopted by the EORTC Quality of Life Group is the development of modules specific to tumour site, treatment modality, or a QOL dimension, to be administered in addition to the core questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30). Mini: 42. Maxi: 114. Hisher score mean worse outcome. |

Other | Following of the quality of life with European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire of Lung Cancer patients. | The EORTC Study Group on Quality of Life has developed a modular system for assessing the quality of life of cancer patients in clinical trials composed of two basic elements: (1) a core quality of life questionnaire, the EORTC QLQ-C30, covering general aspects of health-related quality of life, and (2) additional disease- or treatment-specific questionnaire modules. Two international field studies were carried out to evaluate the practicality, reliability and validity of the core questionnaire, supplemented by a 13-item lung cancer-specific questionnaire module, the EORTC QLQ-LC13.The lung cancer questionnaire module comprises both multi-item and single-item measures of lung cancer associated symptoms (i.e. coughing, haemoptysis, dyspnoea and pain) and side-effects from conventional chemo- and radiotherapy (i.e. hair loss, neuropathy, sore mouth and dysphagia). Mini: 13. Maxi: 52. Higher score means worse outcome. | Up to 60 months | |
Other | Following of the quality of life with European Quality of life 5 dimensions and 3 Levels | The EQ-5D-3L descriptive system comprises the following five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 3 levels: no problems, some problems, and extreme problems. The patient is asked to indicate his/her health state by ticking the box next to the most appropriate statement in each of the five dimensions. This decision results into a 1-digit number that expresses the level selected for that dimension. The digits for the five dimensions can be combined into a 5-digit number that describes the patient's health state. Mini: 0. Maxi: 100. Higher score means better outcome. | Up to 60 months | |
