MINI31.14 - PROs with Ceritinib in ALKi-Naive ALK+ NSCLC Patients with and without Brain Metastases (ID 1528)
18:30 - 20:00 | Author(s): M. Cobo Dols
- Abstract
Background:
In the pivotal ASCEND-1 study, ceritinib, an anaplastic lymphoma kinase inhibitor (ALKi), demonstrated sustained clinical activity in ALKi-naive patients with ALK-rearranged (ALK+) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), including in patients with brain metastases (BrM). ASCEND-3 (NCT01685138) evaluated patient-reported outcomes (PROs) as well as clinical outcomes with ceritinib, in ALKi-naive ALK+ NSCLC patients with and without baseline BrM.
Methods:
Adult patients with ALK+ NSCLC previously treated with up to 3 lines of cytotoxic therapy received oral ceritinib 750 mg daily. PROs were assessed using Lung Cancer Symptom Scale (LCSS) and EORTC (QLQ-C30, QLQ-LC13) quality of life and lung cancer surveys at baseline and Day 1 of treatment cycles 2, 3, and every two cycles thereafter (1 cycle=28 days). Data were analyzed by presence/absence of baseline BrM. Data beyond cycle 9 are not reported due to small sample sizes.
Results:
Of 124 enrolled patients (median age [range] 56 [27–82] years; 40.3% male), 50 (40.3%) had BrM at baseline. At data cutoff (27 June 2014), median follow-up was 8.3 months. Up to cycle 9, PRO questionnaire compliance was at least 97.0%. In the overall patient population, investigator-assessed disease control rate (DCR) was 89.5% and median duration of response (DOR) 9.3 months. Investigator-assessed whole-body DCR [95% confidence interval (CI)] in patients with and without baseline BrM was 86.0% [73.3, 94.2] and 91.9% [83.2, 97.0], respectively, while DOR [95% CI] was 9.1 [7.5, Not Estimable] and 10.8 [9.3, 10.8] months, respectively. Mean change from baseline in patients’ total LCSS score ranged from -3.4 to -11.4 while receiving ceritinib, with 82.1% of patients experiencing symptom improvement; symptoms improved in patients with and without baseline BrM (Figure). QLQ-LC13 outcomes were broadly consistent with those of LCSS in the full patient population and in the subgroups of patients with and without baseline BrM. In general, mean global quality of life (QLQ-C30) was maintained on treatment for all patients. Patients reported diarrhea and nausea and vomiting symptoms were worse than baseline, however, nausea and vomiting symptoms did reduce over time. Figure 1
Conclusion:
In ALKi-naive patients with ALK+ NSCLC, treatment with ceritinib demonstrated clinical efficacy and improved cancer symptoms, with health-related quality of life generally maintained regardless of baseline BrM status. Improvements were greatest for the lung-related symptoms, cough and pain.

ORAL04.05 - Results Ph III Trial Customized Adjuvant CT after Resection of NSCLC with Lymph Node Metastases SCAT: A Spanish Lung Cancer Group Trial (ID 2983)
10:45 - 12:15 | Author(s): M. Cobo Dols
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
Postop platinum-based CT improves outcomes in completely resected NSCLC with nodal involvement (St II-IIIA) but compliance and outcomes remain limited. Analysis of expression of genes involved in DNA repair could be used to individualize optimal CT. BRCA1 is primarily involved in the repair of double strand DNA breaks and functions as a differential regulator of response to cisplatin (Cis) and antimicrotubule agents. BRCA1 defficiency can enhance Cis resistance. Loss of BRCA1 function is associated to sensitivity to DNA-damaging CT and may also be associated with resistance to spindle poisons
Methods:
Randomized phase III multicenter trial. After surgery patients (p) with St II and III NCSLC were random 1:3 to control arm (3 cycles Cis-Docetaxel) or to experimental arm with treatment assigned according BRCA1 expression levels (low levels: Cis-Gemcitabine; intermediate levels: Cis-Doc; high levels: Docetaxel alone). Stratifification factors: N1 vs N2; age < or > 65 y; non-Squamous vs Squamous (Sq) histology; lobectomy vs pneumonectomy). Planned PORT in N2. Primary end-point OS. Secondary end-points DFS, toxicity profile (CTCAE v 3.0) /compliance, recurrence pattern. Statistical hypothesis: increase 20% 5y survival rate control group (45%)
Results:
From June/2007 to May/2013, a total of 591 p were screened and 500 of them were randomized in the study, 108 in control arm, 392 in experimental arm. In experimental arm 110 p received Cis-Gem, 127 Cis-Doc and 110 Doc alone. There were no significant differences between arm for known prognostic factors: Median age 64 y; 79% males, 21% females; 43% Sq, 49% Adenoca, 8% others; 57% former smokers, 32% current smokers, 11% never smokers; pneumonectomy 26%; N1 58%, N2 48%. Median tumor size 4.4 cm (0.8-15.5 cm). Median mRNA BRCA1 levels 15.78 (0.73-132). Mean BRCA1 levels 6.95 in Adenoca vs 20.29 in Sq (p<0.001). P with Sq histology showed a longer DFS (HR 0.73; p=0.05) but without differences in OR (HR 1) Median follow-up 28 months (0-79 m), with a cut-off of March 15[th] 2015, median survival has not reached both arms and no significant differences have been seen for OS with hazard ratio (HR) 0.866 (p=0.45) or DFS with HR 1. In experimental group HR for OS was 0.842 (NS) comparing low with high-BRCA1 levels. In p with high-BRCA1 levels control treatment (Cis-Doc) was superior to experimental (Doc) with HR 1.24 (NS).In non-Sq histology experimental treatment was superior to control with HR 0.75. For p receiving all planned treatment HR is 0.63 with p = 0.043 compared with p not able to complete treatment.
Conclusion:
Overall survival data are still immature because median survival is not reached with a median f-u 28 m for this N+ population. At this time analysis BRCA1 based adjuvant CT does not improve overall OS. In p with high BRCA1 levels Doc alone is inferior to Cis-Doc. BRCA-1 levels are higher in Sq and in non-Sq histology a trend to better survival in experimental arm was found. Full dose of planned treatment confers a survival advantage, however, longer follow-up is still warranted.
