      Background:
      The treatment landscape for advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has changed with the advent of targeted therapies and the use of companion diagnostics.

      Methods:
      The primary objective of this multi-site, retrospective, chart review study was to describe the treatment patterns, Biomarker (Bmx) testing practices and health care resource use (HCRU) in patients who initiated first line therapy (1LT) for newly diagnosed Stage IIIB/IV NSCLC between January 2011 - July 2013 in Japan. Data were analyzed descriptively. Overall survival (OS) was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

      Results:
      Of the 175 Japanese patients 70% were male, 19% non- smokers, mean age of 68.8 years (SD=7.75), 83% stage IV and 74 % (n=129) with non-squamous (NSq) histology. 60% (n=105) received second line therapy (2LT) and 31% (n=55) received third line + therapy (3L+T). 85% (n=110) of the NSq and 40% (n=17) of the squamous (Sq) patients received at least one Bmx test. 81% (n=105) and 19% (n=25) of NSq patients, and 40% (n=17) and 24% (n=4) of Sq patients received an EGFR and ALK test, respectively. EGFR Tyrokinase Inhibitors were most commonly used among NSq EGFR mutated patients (n=44) across all lines. 86% (n=38) of the patients used Gefitinib in 1LT and Erlotinib was used in 2LT (n=11 of 30, 37%) and 3LT (n=9 of 15, 60%) patients. All ALK positive patients (n=2) in 1L received anti-ALK therapy (Crizotinib). Among NSq EGFR/ALK negative or unknown patients (n=83), 89% (n=74) received platinum combinations, most commonly carboplatin+paclitaxel (n=22, 26.5%). Single agents (n=29, 67% and n=11, 50%) were commonly used in NSq EGFR/ALK negative or unknown patients receiving 2LT (n=43) and 3LT (n=22); most commonly docetaxel (n=15, 35% & n=5, 23%). Majority of the 1LT patients with Sq histology (36/43, 84%) received platinum combinations therapy; most commonly carboplatin+paclitaxel (51%). Among 2LT, 67 % (n=20) received a single agent, most commonly docetaxel (n=14, 47%). Single agents were commonly used in 73% (n=11) of the patients receiving 3L+T. Overall, the average length of stay, regardless of line of therapy, was 24.6 days per admission. Duration of treatment was longest for 1LT (mean [SD] 140 [175] days), followed by 2LT (66 [129] days) and 3L+T (65 [83] days).Median OS for Japan from start of 1LT & 2LT was 9.9 and 4.7 months, respectively.

      Conclusion:
      NSq patients are frequently tested for Bmx in Japan. Treatment is personalized according to mutation status and is in concordance with recommended guidelines.

      P3.02c-015 - Phase II Trial of S-1/Cisplatin Combined with Bevacizumab for Advanced Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: TCOG LC-1202 (ID 4487)

      Background:
      S-1 plus cisplatin is a standard chemotherapy regimen for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (Ann. Oncol. 2015; 26:1401-8). The addition of bevacizumab significantly improved overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced non-squamous (non-SQ) NSCLC who received carboplatin plus paclitaxel but failed to show an OS advantage in patients who received cisplatin plus gemcitabine. Few studies of bevacizumab have evaluated quality of life (QOL) in patients with non-SQ NSCLC.

      Methods:
      Chemotherapy-naïve patients with stage IIIB, IV, or recurrent non-SQ NSCLC, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0–1, age 20–74 years, and measurable lesions were treated with a 3-week cycle of S-1 40 mg/m[2] twice a day on days 1–14, cisplatin 60 mg/m[2] on day 8, and bevacizumab 15 mg/kg on day 8, for 4–6 cycles. Patients without progressive disease received maintenance bevacizumab 15 mg/kg on day 1 with a 3-week cycle and S-1 40 mg/m[2] twice a day every other day. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR), OS, toxicity profile, and QOL.

      Results:
      From June 2013 to January 2015, 39 evaluable patients were enrolled from 8 institutions: 10 women and 29 men; median age 65 (range, 38–74) years; epidermal growth factor receptor positive/anaplastic lymphoma kinase positive: two patients/two patients; performance status 0/1: 22/17; stage IIIB/IV/recurrence: 1/35/3; adeno/large cell/other: 35/1/3. Thirty one patients (80%) completed 4 cycles of induction chemotherapy, and 23 patients (59%) were started on maintenance chemotherapy. Median PFS, OS, and ORR were 7.3 months (95% confidence interval (CI): 5.9–8.7), 21.4 months (95% CI: 14.7–not reached), and 64%, respectively. The worst hematologic and non-hematologic adverse events were as follows (%): grade 3/4 leukopenia: 13/0; neutropenia: 18/5; thrombocytopenia: 0/0; anemia: 0/0; neutropenic fever: 3/0; and hypertension: 28/0; diarrhea: 3/0. QOL data will be presented at the meeting.

      Conclusion:
      S-1 plus cisplatin in combination with bevacizumab met the primary endpoint in patients with advanced non-SQ NSCLC in the present trial. Additionally, the response rate is anticipated to be high, and the regimen was well tolerated. Clinical trial information: UMIN000009476
