      Background:
      Patients with extensive-stage disease (ED) small cell lung cancer (SCLC) have limited treatment options and poor survival following failure of platinum-based chemotherapy. Pembrolizumab, a humanized anti–programmed death 1 (PD-1) antibody, has demonstrated robust antitumor activity and a favorable safety profile in multiple tumor types. Here, we present updated safety and efficacy data, including survival, for patients with ED SCLC enrolled in the KEYNOTE-028 (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02054806) study.

      Methods:
      KEYNOTE-028 is a nonrandomized, multicohort phase 1b trial of pembrolizumab in patients with PD-L1–positive advanced solid tumors. Patients received pembrolizumab 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks for up to 2 years or until confirmed progression or intolerable toxicity, death, withdrawal of consent, or physician decision. Response was assessed per RECIST v1.1 by investigators every 8 weeks for the first 6 months and every 12 weeks thereafter. The primary end point was objective response rate (ORR; per RECIST v1.1, investigator assessed). Secondary end points included safety, tolerability, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS).

      Results:
      24 patients with ED SCLC and tumor PD-L1 positivity were enrolled and received ≥1 dose of pembrolizumab. At the data cutoff date (June 9, 2016), median follow-up duration was 9.8 months (range, 0.5-24.0 months); 3 patients (12.5%) remain on treatment. The ORR was 37.5% (95% CI, 18.8%-59.4%), including 1 complete and 8 partial responses in 24 evaluable patients. Median duration of response was 9.0 months (range, 1.9-19.9+ months). Median PFS was 1.9 months (95% CI, 1.7-5.9 months); the 6- and 12-month PFS rates were 29.8% and 24.8%, respectively. Median OS was 9.7 months (95% CI, 4.1 months-not reached); the 6- and 12-month OS rates were 66.0% and 35.7%, respectively. No new safety concerns were noted. Sixteen of 24 (66.7%) patients experienced treatment-related AEs. Two patients experienced grade 3-5 treatment-related AEs: 1 patient had blood bilirubin increased (grade 3) and 1 patient experienced grade 3 asthenia and grade 5 colitis.

      Conclusion:
      Pembrolizumab demonstrated promising antitumor activity in this pretreated, PD-L1–positive ED SCLC population. The responses were found to be durable and may have led to an OS benefit for the subset of patients who achieved objective responses with pembrolizumab.

      OA11.01 - Prolonged OS of Patients Exposed to Weekly Paclitaxel and Bevacizumab: Impact of the Cross-Over in the IFCT-1103 ULTIMATE Study (ID 4988)

      Background:
      Overall survival (OS) is considered as the gold standard for evaluating efficacy of antineoplastic treatments, including chemotherapy and targeted therapies. In randomized trials, allowing patients to cross-over to the other arm usually prevents demonstration of a survival benefit. However, it may provide important information with clinical relevance.

      Methods:
      The phase III IFCT-1503 ULTIMATE study compared weekly paclitaxel and bevacizumab (wPB) vs. docetaxel (DOC) as second- or third-line therapy in non-squamous NSCLC. At progression, patients were allowed to cross over to the other arm. Date of progression was collected for patients who crossed over to the other arm and for those who did not cross over but received a post-discontinuation treatment within 60 days following progression. Post-discontinuation progression-free survival (PFS2) and OS2 were calculated from day 1 of post-discontinuation treatment.

      Results:
      The study met its primary endpoint, PFS, which was significantly improved in the wPB arm (medians 5.4 vs. 3.9 mo, hazard ratio (HR) 0.62, p=0.006). No overall survival was observed (medians 9.9 vs. 11.4 mo, HR 1.18, p=0.4). Out of patients treated with DOC (n=55), those who crossed over to wPB (n=21, 38.2%) had a median PFS2 of 4.9 mo [3.1-6.2] and a median OS2 of 12.5 mo (7.0-NR), whereas those who did not cross over but received a post-discontinuation treatment (n=13, 23.7%) had a median PFS2 of 1.7 mo [1.1-2.2] and a median OS2 of 4.1 mo [2.1-5.9]. Out of patients treated with wPB (n=111), median PFS2 was 1.9 mo [1.2-2.2] for those who crossed over to DOC (n=9, 8.3%) and median PFS2 and OS2 were 1.9 mo [1.7-2.6] and 5.0 m [3.4-9.0] for those who did not cross over but received a post-discontinuation treatment (n=57, 52.3%).

      Conclusion:
      Allowing patients to cross over to the other arm demonstrated benefit of wPB following progression on docetaxel and explains the absence of OS benefit.

      P2.03b-037 - Prognostic Impact of 1st-Line Treatment and Molecular Testing in Advanced NSCLC in France - Results of the IFCT-PREDICT.amm Study (ID 5628)

      14:30 - 15:45  |  Author(s): S. Hiret

      • Abstract

      Background:
      In 2013, recommendations for 1st line treatment in advanced NSCLC included a platinum based chemotherapy (pCT) with or without bevacizumab (BEV-pCT), an EGFR-TKI, or a non-platinum based CT (non-pCT) depending on clinical, pathological and molecular characteristics. Molecular testing for KRAS, EGFR and ALK, is routinely performed in France for advanced non-squamous NSCLC. However, the prognostic impact of the molecular status knowledge before beginning 1st line treatment is unknown.

      Methods:
      After a cross-validation study, KRAS, EGFR and ALK molecular status were assessed in 843 consecutive patients (pts) with previously untreated advanced NSCLC (all histologic subtypes) and categorized as: EGFR/ALK+, KRAS+, wild-type (WT), undetermined (UD) and not done (ND). Treatments from the 1st to 3rd line were separated into 4 groups: p-CT, BEVA-pCT, EGFR/ALK TKI and non-pCT. Demographic, clinical and pathological characteristics were collected and pts were followed-up until death. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) for each line were determined. Prognostic factors including treatment categories (p-CT as reference) and biomarkers status (WT as reference) were studied by Cox model.

      Results:
      Treatments were analyzed in 767 (91.0%) of the 843 pts enrolled between 01/2013 and 02/2014. Pts were 93.1% Caucasians, 66.2% males. Median age was 62.4 yr (28-92). 13.4% were never smokers. PS ≥2 were 21.4% and 90.3% were stage IV. 76.5% had adenocarcinoma, 14.5% squamous cell carcinoma and 9% others with WT=40.4%, KRAS+=23.1%, EGFR/ALK+=10.2%, UD=5.1%, ND=21.2%. 1st line treatments were: p-CT=75.9%, BEVA-pCT=14.2%, EGFR/ALK TKI=7.8% and non-pCT=2.1%. With a 30.3 months (mo) median of follow-up, median OS and PFS were 10.7 mo and 5.3 mo, respectively. Factors independently associated with shorter OS were PS≥2 (HR=2.08, p<.0001), KRAS+, UD and ND mutation status (HR=1.40, p=.002; 1.53, p=.02; 1.29, p=.02), and non-pCT as 1st line treatment (HR=1.92, p=.01), while EGFR/ALK+ (HR=.38, p<.0001) and BEVA-pCT (HR=.54, p<.001) were associated with better survival. There was no interaction effect between biomarkers status and OS treatment groups. However, BEVA-pCT in 1st line therapy in KRAS+ and WT NSCLC (p<.0001 and <.0003, respectively) was associated with longer survival compared to p-CT, while giving a TKI or p-CT in 1st line therapy in EGFR/ALK+ NSCLC did not affect OS.

      Conclusion:
      Results from the IFCT-PREDICT.amm study suggest that prognosis of advanced NSCLC might be optimized in 1st line setting by the knowledge of EGFR/ALK molecular status and the opportunity to give a BEVA-pCT regimen, especially in patients with KRAS+ and WT tumor.
