      Background:
      Cancer cachexia is characterized by decreased body weight (BW), mainly lean body mass (LBM) and negatively impacts quality of life (QOL) and prognosis. ONO-7643/anamorelin (ANAM) is a novel selective ghrelin receptor agonist with appetite-enhancing and anabolic activity.

      Methods:
      ONO-7643-03 was a double-blind, exploratory Phase 2 trial assessing ANAM efficacy and safety in Japanese non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with unresectable stage III/IV NSCLC, ECOG performance status (ECOG PS) 1-2 and cachexia (main criteria: ≥5% weight loss within prior 6 months). Patients were randomized to ANAM at 100 or 50 mg, or placebo, given daily orally for 12 weeks. Co-primary endpoints were change from baseline over 12 weeks in LBM (measured by DXA) and handgrip strength (HGS). Secondary endpoints included change in BW, ECOG PS, Karnofsky performance scale (KPS) and QOL assessment (QOL-ACD).

      Results:
      Demographics were balanced (N=180); median age=66 yr, male (68.9%), ECOG PS=1 (77.5%) and stage IV (76.1%). Treatment effects: the change in LBM over 12 weeks was 0.55 kg in the placebo arm and 1.15 kg in the ANAM 100 mg arm, and the change in LBM at both Weeks 8 and 12 showed significant differences between ANAM 100 mg and placebo (p<0.05). However, the change in HGS was similar between arms at both time points. The change in BW to Weeks 12 was -0.93 kg in the placebo arm vs +0.54 kg in the 50 mg arm and +1.77 kg in the 100 mg arm, and was significantly different between the 100 or 50 mg arms and the placebo arm at all time points (p<0.05). The cumulative rate of deterioration of ECOG PS was lowest in the 100 mg arm, and ANAM 100mg significantly improved KPS and QOL-ACD compared to placebo at Weeks 4 and 12 (p<0.05). Regarding safety, ANAM treatment for 12 weeks was well tolerated. While median survival time (MST) was not significantly different between active treatment arms and placebo, MST of patients with BW loss was significantly shorter than those without (215 vs 327 days; p=0.0055).

      Conclusion:
      This phase 2 study demonstrated that ANAM has promising potential in improving body composition, performance status and QOL in patients with cancer cachexia.

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

      • 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.
