      Background:
      Nivolumab (anti-PD-1, ONO-4538, BMS-936558), a fully human IgG4, PD-1 immune-checkpoint inhibitor antibody, has shown durable clinical activity in previous[MS誠1] phase I and II trials in several tumor types. In March 2015, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Nivolumab for the treatment of patients with metastatic squamous (SQ) non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy. Here, we report the results of two phase II studies to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nivolumab in previously treated advanced SQ (JapicCTI-No.132072) and NSQ (JapicCTI-No.132073) NSCLC pts.

      Methods:
      Both studies required pts aged ≥ 20 years with an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1, stage IIIB/IV, or recurrent NSCLC and at least one prior chemotherapy including platinum containing regimen. Pts received nivolumab 3 mg/kg IV Q2W until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint in both studies was the objective response rate (ORR) (RECIST v1.1). Planned sample size was 30 pts for SQ and 67 pts for NSQ, respectively (P~0~[MS誠1] =0.09 &[MS誠2] P~1~=0.26, P~0~=0.09 & P~1~=0.20 ; α=0.025 (one-side), 1-β=0.8).

      Results:
      From April 2013 to April 2014, a total of 111 NSCLC pts were enrolled in both studies (35 pts with SQ, 76 pts with NSQ, male/female: 81/30; PS 0/1: 46/55; aged 31 to 84 [median: 65.0] years; Stage IIIB/Stage IV/recurrence: 6/86/19). Objective response rates (ORRs) were 25.7% (9/35) [95% CI: 14.2, 42.1] in SQ and 19.7% (15/76) [95% CI: 12.3, 30.0] in NSQ, respectively. Complete Response was observed in 2.6% with NSQ. Median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 4.2 months (95% CI: 1.4, 7.1) for SQ and 2.8 months (95% CI: 1.4, 3.4) for NSQ, respectively. Median follow-up periods were 10.4 months and 8.4 months, respectively. Median duration of response was not reached in each study. Of 9 SQ pts and 15 NSQ pts who responded to nivolumab, durable and ongoing response was observed in 77.8% (7/9) and 80.0% (12/15), respectively. Median overall survival was not reached in either study. All Grade drug-related adverse events across both studies were 79.3% (88/111) and Grade 3-4 drug-related adverse events (G3-4 AEs) were observed in 16.2% (18/111) pts. Most common G3-4 AEs were lymphocyte count decreased 3.6% (4/111), hyponatremia 1.8% (2/111), interstitial lung disease 1.8% (2/111), pleural effusion 1.8% (2/111). Any grade of interstitial lung disease was observed in 4.5% (5/111) pts. No grade 5 AEs were observed.

      Conclusion:
      In these studies, nivolumab showed encouraging clinical efficacy in both SQ and NSQ NSCLC with a manageable safety profile.

      MINI16.08 - AZD9291 in Pre-Treated T790M Positive Advanced NSCLC: AURA2 Phase II Study (ID 1406)

      16:45 - 18:15  |  Author(s): M. Satouchi

      • Abstract
      • Presentation
      • Slides

      Background:
      The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) T790M mutation is found in about half of patients who have developed resistance to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), gefitinib or erlotinib. AZD9291 is an oral, potent, irreversible EGFR-TKI selective for both EGFR-sensitizing (EGFRm) and T790M resistance mutations. In the Phase I AURA study, AZD9291 80 mg (dose selected for further evaluation) was found to be clinically active, with an acceptable tolerability profile. This ongoing AURA2 Phase II study (NCT02094261) investigates the efficacy and safety of AZD9291 80 mg once daily after previous EGFR-TKI treatment in patients with EGFRm and T790M positive advanced NSCLC.

      Methods:
      AURA2 (NCT02094261) is a global, open-label, single-arm Phase II study. To be eligible, all patients had a mandatory tumor sample taken after disease progression on the most recent line of therapy, for confirmation of T790M positive status by central laboratory testing using the cobas™ EGFR Mutation Test. Further inclusion criteria included measurable disease, World Health Organization performance status (WHO PS) 0 or 1, and acceptable organ function; stable brain metastases were allowed. Patients receive AZD9291 at 80 mg once daily until disease progression. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) according to RECIST 1.1 (assessed by independent central review, ICR). Secondary objectives included disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DoR), progression-free survival (PFS), and safety. Planned enrollment was 175 patients to give an ORR with 95% confidence interval (CI) within ±8%. The data cut-off was January 9, 2015.

      Results:
      Recruitment is complete and 210 patients were enrolled; 12 patients did not have measurable disease at baseline by ICR and are excluded from the evaluable-for-response set. By central testing, in addition to T790M, patients had background EGFR mutation: Ex19del, 65%; L858R, 32%; other, 3%. Baseline characteristics: median age, 64 years; female, 70%; WHO PS 0/1, 40%/60%; Asian, 63%; second-/≥third-line, 32%/68%. Median treatment exposure was 4.0 months and 183 patients remain on treatment at the data cut-off. ORR by ICR was 64% (127/198; 95% CI 57, 71) and DCR was 90% (95% CI 85, 94). Investigator-assessed ORR was 64% (135/210; 95% CI 57, 71). Median DoR and median PFS have not been reached (maturity 6% and 20%, respectively). The estimated proportion of patients who are alive and progression free is 82% and 70% at 3 and 6 months, respectively. The most common all-causality adverse events (AEs) were diarrhea, 34% (1% Gr≥3) and grouped rash terms 40% (0.5% Gr≥3); 38 (18%) patients experienced Gr≥3 AEs. Interstitial lung disease grouped terms were reported in four (1.9%) patients, one of which was fatal (0.5%) and considered possibly causally related to AZD9291 by the investigator. Eight patients (4%) discontinued treatment due to an AE. Updated results from a later data cut-off will be available for presentation.

      Conclusion:
      AZD9291 80 mg once daily demonstrates clinical activity and manageable tolerability in patients with EGFRm, T790M mutation positive advanced NSCLC that has progressed on or after EGFR‑TKI treatment. AZD9291 is being investigated in the randomized AURA3 Phase III study (NCT02151981) in comparison with platinum-based doublet chemotherapy.

      P2.01-075 - Bevacizumab with Docetaxel or S-1 in Non-Squamous NSCLC (HANSHIN 0110) (ID 195)

      09:30 - 17:00  |  Author(s): M. Satouchi

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background:
      This multicenter, randomized phase II trial investigated the efficacy and safety of docetaxel plus bevacizumab and S-1 plus bevacizumab in the second-line treatment of non-squamous (non-Sq) non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

      Methods:
      Patients with non-Sq NSCLC who experienced disease progression after prior platinum-based chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive docetaxel 60 mg/m[2] plus bevacizumab 15 mg/kg (DB) once every 3 weeks or S-1 40 mg/m[2] orally twice daily on days 1–14 plus bevacizumab 15 mg/kg (SB) on day 1 every 3 weeks until disease progression. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS).

      Results:
      Ninety patients were randomized. The median PFS was 3.9 months (95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.0–6.5) in the DB arm and 3.5 months (95% CI = 2.9–5.9) in the SB arm. The objective response rate was significantly higher in the DB arm than in the SB arm (22.2% vs. 2.2%; P = 0.004), whereas the disease control rates of the arms were identical (62.2% vs. 62.2%; P = 1.00). Patients receiving DB were more likely to have ≥grade 3 neutropenia (93.4% vs. 4.4%) and febrile neutropenia (33.3% vs. 0%) than SB-treated patients. In the DB arm, PFS and overall survival were significantly longer among bevacizumab-naïve patients than among bevacizumab-experienced patients (median PFS: 7.4 months vs. 2.8 months; P < 0.001; and median OS: 27.4 months vs. 11.7 months; P = 0.002).

      Conclusion:
      DB and SB produced modest PFS benefits in the second-line treatment of patients with advanced non-Sq NSCLC. Because of the toxicity of DB and the low response rate of SB, neither regimen warrants further investigation, excluding DB in bevacizumab-naïve patients with advanced non-Sq NSCLC.

      P3.01-020 - Updated Data from JP28927 Study of Alectinib in ALK+ NSCLC Patients with or without History of ALK Inhibitor Treatment (ID 346)

      09:30 - 17:00  |  Author(s): M. Satouchi

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background:
      Alectinib, a next generation ALK inhibitor, was granted approval in Japan 2014, since it showed good efficacy and tolerability in ALK+ NSCLC patients without previous ALK inhibitor treatment in Phase I/II study (AF-001JP). We also reported its promising response and good tolerability for crizotinib pre-treated patients in JP28927 study (ESMO 2014). This report describes the update of efficacy and safety result in JP28927 study.

      Methods:
      Patients (with/without prior ALK inhibitor treatment) who had ALK+ NSCLC were enrolled in JP28927. Patients received alectinib (300mg) twice daily; treatment was continued until the investigator determined lack of clinical benefit.

      Results:
      Thirty-five patients were enrolled into JP28927 study. Median follow-up duration was 400 days (35-457 days). The median progression free survival (PFS) of 35 patients was 13.9 months (95%CI: 11.1- NR). Among 30 patients with the target lesions at base line, the overall response rate (ORR) was 70% (95%CI: 50.6-85.3) with rapid response (the median time to response was 1.2 months [95%CI: 1.1-2.1]). Twenty-three out of 35 patients had been confirmed the progressive disease with crizotinib treatment. Their median PFS was 12.9 months (95%CI: 3.9-NR). Twenty out of 23 patients had the target lesions at base line. ORR was 65% (95%CI: 40.8-84.6) and the median time to response was 1.2 months (95%CI: 1.1-1.3). The treatment-related adverse events (AEs) observed in more than 10% of the patients were constipation (31.4%), dysgeusia (25.7%), WBC count decreased (22.9%), neutrophil count decreased (22.9%), vomiting (14.3%), rash (14.3%), blood bilirubin increased (14.3%) and AST increase (14.3%). Treatment-related Grade 3 AEs, i.e. pulmonary thrombosis, lymphocyte count decrease, hypophosphatemia, were observed in 3 patients. No treatment-related Grade 4 or 5 AEs were observed.

      Conclusion:
      The updated results in JP28927 study once again endorsed our previous reports which had indicated alectinib’s promising response even for ALK+NSCLC patients who failed to crizotinib treatment.

      P3.01-085 - Randomized Phase II Study of Docetaxel plus Bevacizumab or Pemetrexed plus Bevacizumab for Elderly Non-Squamous NSCLC (TORG1323) (ID 1742)

      09:30 - 17:00  |  Author(s): M. Satouchi

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background:
      A randomized study comparing carboplatin plus weekly paclitaxel versus single-agent chemotherapy in elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) demonstrated a survival advantage for combination therapy, however, increased toxicity and treatment-related deaths were also observed. Thus, single agent approaches remain the standard of care and the improvement of treatment remains a challenge in elderly patients. The combination of bevacizumab and other platinum-based chemotherapies is the standard of care in non-elderly patients with non-squamous NSCLC. Additionally, a randomized phase II study suggested the improvement of efficacy for the combination of B plus single-agent pemetrexed or docetaxel compared with single-agent alone. Even in elderly patients, two prospective studies which we conducted demonstrated the feasibility of the combination of bevacizumab and single agent pemetrexed or docetaxel. Thus we plan this randomized phase II study (TORG1323) to select the optimal regimen for experimental arm of the future phase III study in elderly patients.

      Methods:
      TORG1323 is an open label multicenter randomized phase II study to compare docetaxel plus bevacizumab (DB) with pemetrexed plus bevacizumab (PB). The primary endpoint is progression free survival (PFS, assessed by independent review committee). The secondary endpoints are safety, PFS (assessed by investigators), objective response rate, overall survival, time to treatment failure and quality of life. Eligible patients are 75 years or older, have histologically or cytologically documented stage IIIb, IV or recurrent non-squamous NSCLC for which they had no received chemotherapy, ECOG performance status 0 or 1, and adequate organ function. Patients are randomly assigned to PB and DB arm (1:1). Bevacizumab is administered 15 mg/kg, pemetrexed is 500 mg/m[2] and docetaxel is 50 mg/m[2] every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Selection design is adopted for this study. The planned sample size is 120 patients to yield 80 % power to select an optimal regimen correctly. Enrollment time is 2 years 8 months and follow-up time is 1 year. The first patient on this clinical trial was enrolled in April 2014. Further details can be found on UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN000012786). Figure 1
