A Study to Test Different Doses of BI 836880 Combined With Ezabenlimab in Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Followed by Other Types of Advanced Solid Tumours
United States, Australia, France252 participantsStarted 2018-07-05
Plain-language summary
This study has 2 parts. The first part was open to adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The second part was open also to adults with other types of advanced cancer of the lung, brain, skin, and liver. After early encouraging results, more people with liver cancer can now take part in the study. The participants get a combination of two medicines called BI 836880 and ezabenlimab.
BI 836880 is a type of an antibody that blocks new blood vessel formation. New blood vessels are needed by the tumour to continue growing. Ezabenlimab is an antibody that may help the immune system fight cancer (immune checkpoint inhibitor).
The purpose of the first part of the study was to find out the highest dose of the BI 836880 that the participants can tolerate in combination with BI 754091. After the best dose of BI 836880 for the combination with ezabenlimab was found, it is used in the second part of the study. The purpose of the second part is to see whether the combination of BI 836880 and BI 754091 is able to make tumours shrink.
The participants are in the study as long as they benefit from and can tolerate treatment. During this time, they get infusions of BI 836880 and ezabenlimab every 3 weeks. The doctors also regularly check the general health of the participants.

Inclusion Criteria:
Part 1:
* Of full age (according to local legislation, usually ≥ 18 years) at screening.
* Pathologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC with PDL-1 expression available and \>1% by IHC (as defined by the Pembrolizumab companion diagnostic test, determined by appropriate local pathology lab.
* No previous treatment with check-point inhibitor. Or patients with checkpoint inhibitor based treatment as last therapy before entering the trial.
* Documented disease progression or relapse (based on investigator's assessment) during or after completion of at least 2 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy as first line treatment of Stage IIIB/IV non- squamous NSCLC or for checkpoint inhibitor experienced patients during or after completion of at least 2 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy and a checkpoint inhibitor treatment (monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy). This includes patients relapsing within 6 months of completing (neo)adjuvant/curative-intent chemotherapy/CPI or chemoradiotherapy
* At least one target lesion (outside the brain) that can be accurately measured per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) version 1.1 .
* Lesion with a diameter ≥ 2cm assessed by radiologist as suitable for DCE-MRI evaluation (Mandatory in Part 1, optional in Part 2)
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 1 Life expectancy ≥ 3 months after start of the treatment in the opinion of the investiga…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
