Brief summary: This is a Phase 2, open-label, multicenter study to assess the efficacy and safety of second/third-line treatment with nab-paclitaxel in combination with the epigenetic modifying therapy of CC-486 or immunotherapy of durvalumab, and nab-paclitaxel monotherapy in subjects with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Detailed description: This Phase 2 study will test the hypothesis that epigenetic modifying therapy of CC-486 or immunotherapy of durvalumab can improve the anti-tumor activity of nab-paclitaxel in subjects with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have received no more than one prior chemotherapy regimen for their advanced disease. It will further assess efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel monotherapy in this setting. Each subject will receive study therapy as second- or third-line of treatment. Approximately 240 male and female subjects with advanced NSCLC will be assigned to one of the following treatment arms (approximately 80 subjects per group): nab-paclitaxel /CC-486 combination therapy, nab-paclitaxel/durvalumab combination therapy or nab-paclitaxel monotherapy prior to receiving first dose of Investigational Product. A permuted-block randomization method will be employed to assign the subjects among the treatment arms that are enrolling simultaneously, when applicable, stratified by the following baseline factors: ECOG performance status (0 versus 1), gender (males versus females), and smoker (yes versus no). Treatment assignments of subjects to the nab-paclitaxel/CC-486 combination therapy and nab-paclitaxel monotherapy arms will be conducted completely in a randomized fashion.
