Details and patient eligibility

About

The tumor treating fields（EFE-P100）generates alternating electric field during operation, and the tumor treating fields（EFE-P100）has a specific frequency and a specific field intensity. The tumor treating fields（EFE-P100）patch acts on the corresponding part of the patient and prevents the mitosis of tumor cells. This study was divided into two phases including phase II and phase III clinical trials. The main purpose of phase II clinical trial is to evaluate the safety of tumor treating fields（EFE-P100） combined with docetaxel injection in the second-line treatment of stage IV non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients who failed after platinum-containing chemotherapy and anti-programmed Death 1（PD-1)/Programmed Cell Death-Ligand 1(PD-L1) antibody treatment. The main purpose of phase III clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of tumor treating fields（EFE-P100） combined with docetaxel injection and docetaxel injection alone in the second-line treatment of stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who failed after platinum-containing chemotherapy and anti-programmed Death 1（PD-1)/Programmed Cell Death-Ligand 1(PD-L1) antibody treatment.

2. Untreated brain metastases, or with meningeal metastases, spinal cord compression, etc. Patients who had received previous treatment for brain metastases and were asymptomatic if they had been stable for at least 4 weeks on imaging before randomization and had stopped systemic hormone therapy (dose >10mg/ day prednisone or other equivalent hormone) for more than 2 weeks were eligible.
3. Severe bone injury due to bone metastases, including severe bone pain that is poorly controlled, pathologic fractures of major sites that have occurred within the last 6 months or are expected to occur in the near future.
4. Previous docetaxel therapy or docetaxel-containing combination therapy;
5. There are contraindications to docetaxel treatment or a known severe allergy to docetaxel;
6. A history of diagnosis of a tumor other than small-cell lung cancer and antitumor therapy within 5 years prior to enrollment, excluding treated stage I prostate cancer, cervical or uterine cancer in situ, breast cancer in situ, and non-melanoma skin cancer;
7. Abnormal bone marrow, heart, liver and kidney function: A. Neutrophil count <1.5×109/L, platelet count <100×109/L, hemoglobin <90 g/L; TBiL> upper normal value (ULN); AST and/or ALT>2.5×ULN; ALP>2.5×ULN (>5×ULN if bone metastases are present); C. Serum creatinine >1.5×ULN; Creatinine clearance rate <50 mL/min;
8. A history of severe cardiovascular disease, including second/third degree heart block; Severe ischemic heart disease; Poor control of hypertension; New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II or worse congestive heart failure (mild physical activity limitation; Comfortable at rest, but normal activities can cause fatigue, palpitations, or difficulty breathing);
9. Patients who required systemic corticosteroid (other corticosteroid at a dose of more than 10mg prednisone per day or an equivalent physiologic dose) or other immunosuppressive agents within 14 days prior to enrollment or during the study period were eligible for enrollment if: A. The use of topical or inhaled glucocorticoids is permitted; B. Allow short-term (≤7 days) use of glucocorticoids for the prevention or treatment of non-autoimmune allergic diseases;
10. If she had severe infection before the first treatment, the investigator judged that she was not suitable to participate in this study.
11. A history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (known HIV1/2 antibody positive);
12. The presence of active hepatitis B, active hepatitis C, or other active infections that the investigator determines may affect the patient's treatment;
13. There is a definite history of neurological or psychiatric disorders (e.g., epilepsy, dementia) or drug use or alcohol abuse within the last year that may affect trial compliance;
