      Background:
      Leptomeningeal metastases (LM) occur in almost 5% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients (pts) and are associated with a poor prognosis. To date, no prospective study has identified active chemotherapy for NSCLC pts with LM. In retrospective studies, EGFR-TKI treatment is reported to be effective in the treatment of LM. We conducted a multi-center, single-arm phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy of erlotinib in pts with LM.

      Methods:
      NSCLC pts with cytologically confirmed LM were eligible and received erlotinib 150mg daily. Overall cytological response rate (ORR; defined “number of pts who achieves complete remission in CSF / number of all pts”), time to LM progression (TTP), overall survival (OS) and pharmacokinetics were analyzed. Under the null hypothesis, the regimen would be rejected if confirmed ORR was 5% or less. This study was closed because of low accrual with only 21 of required 32 pts (66 %) accrued.

      Results:
      From Dec 2011 to May 2015, 21 pts (17 pts with EGFR mutation) were enrolled. CSFs available for EGFR mutation analysis (N=17) were all EGFR T790M negative. ORR was 30 % (95%CI 12 -54 %). Median TTP was 2.3 months. Median OS was 3.1 months. Significantly longer TTP and OS were observed in EGFR-mutant than in EGFR-wild type (P=0.0054 and P<0.0001, respectively). Seven pts survived longer than 6 months. CSF penetration rate (Mean + SD) was 3.3 + 0.8 %. There was no correlation between CSF concentration and clinical efficacy.

      Conclusion:
      Erlotinib treatment for LM is active, especially in EGFR-mutant. Our findings suggest that erlotinib could represent a treatment option for EGFR mutated pts. CSF penetration in LM patients is equivalent to those in previous reports. Table1. Summary of ORR, TPP and OS

      P2.06-015 - The NICE Salvage Study: A Phase II Trial of Weekly Nab-Paclitaxel in the Salvage Setting for Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (ID 4566)

      Background:
      The standard chemotherapy for advanced NSCLC after the failing of second or third line chemotherapy has yet to be established. In these salvage setting patients the acceptable safety and efficacy of solvent-based paclitaxel (sb-P) monotherapy have been previously reported as one possible treatment option (Anticancer Res 2005). Compared with sb-P, nab-paclitaxel(nab-P) yielded a higher mean maximal circulating concentration of free paclitaxel and delivered higher drug concentration to tumors in preclinical xenograft models (Clin. Cancer Res. 2006). Moreover, a large multicenter international phase III study (CA031) of nab-P + carboplatin (C) vs sb-P + C, nab-P + C produced a significantly higher overall response rate (ORR) compared with sb-P + C, and had an acceptable safety profile as a first line chemotherapy (J. Clin. Oncol. 2012) .These results suggest that nab-P monotherapy have possibility to be more efficacious and tolerable compared to sb-P monotherapy. KTOSG trial 1301 has recently revealed weekly nab-P as a second line chemotherapy is associated with acceptable toxicity and a favorable ORR in patients with advanced NSCLC (Lung Cancer 2016). However, there are no reports of nab-P monotherapy after the failing of second or third line chemotherapy. We therefore planned this study aiming to assess the efficacy and safety of nab-P monotherapy for patients in the salvage setting.

      Methods:
      This multicenter single arm phase II study assesses the efficacy of nab-P in pts with PS 0-2 and aged < 75 years with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Pts must have failed two or three prior lines of therapy including at least a platinum- containing chemotherapy. Pts pretreated with sb-P or nab-P, or tumors harboring EGFR mutation or ALK fusion gene are excluded. Pts receive nab-P 80 mg/m2 on days 1,8 and 15 of a 28-days cycle. The primary endpoint of the trial is progression-free survival in an intent-to-treat analysis using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. Secondary endpoints include overall survival, ORR, disease control rate, efficacy according to prior docetaxel, quality of life, and safety. The study is powered to detect a 1.5-month improvement in median PFS in this investigational arm beyond the 2.0-month median PFS estimated from historical data. Assuming a one-sided 0.10 level of Type I error and 80% power, the sample size was calculated to be 35 pts based on the Brookmeyer-Crowley method. The target sample size is established as 38 pts. As of June 2016, 14 pts were registered and recruitment is ongoing (UMIN000016173).

      P3.02c-001 - Phase I Study of Salazosulfapyridine Targeting Cancer Stem Cells in Combination with CDDP and Pemetrexed for Chemo-Naïve Advanced Non-Sq NSCLC (ID 4318)

      14:30 - 15:45  |  Author(s): M. Takenoyama

      • Abstract

      Background:
      Variant splicing isoforms of CD44 (CD44v) are a marker of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in solid tumors. CD44v stabilizes the glutamate-cystine transporter subunit xCT and thereby promotes synthesis of the intracellular antioxidant glutathione and protects CSCs from oxidative stress. Salazosulfapyridine (SASP) is an inhibitor of xCT activity, and, in combination with cisplatin (CDDP), it attenuates the increase in the proportion of CD44v-positive tumor cells during the growth of tumor xenografts in mice.

      Methods:
      Individuals with advanced (stage IIIB or IV) nonsquamous non–small cell lung cancer are eligible to enroll in a phase I dose-escalation study (standard 3+3 design) of SASP in combination with CDDP and pemetrexed (PEM) as first-line treatment. Patients receive SASP daily as well as CDDP (75 mg/m[2]) and PEM (500 mg/m[2]) on day 1 of a 21-day cycle. The primary end point is the percentage of patients who experience dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) between administration of the first dose of SASP (day 1) and day 21.

      Results:
      From April 2015 to January 2016, 15 patients were enrolled in the study (mean age, 64 years; age range, 42–74 years; male/female ratio, 10/5; ECOG performance status 0/1 ratio, 6/9). Immunohistochemical staining of tumor biopsy specimens revealed that the proportion of CD44v-positive cells was >10% in 9 patients before SASP treatment. No DLT was observed in the first three patients treated at SASP dose level 1 (500 mg TID) or those treated at dose level 2 (1000 mg TID). At dose level 3 (1500 mg TID), two of three patients experienced a DLT (anorexia of grade 3). We enrolled additional patients at dose level 2 and two of the total of five patients treated at this dose level experienced DLTs (hypotension or pneumonitis, each of grade 3). To confirm the safety of dose level 1, we enrolled additional patients at this dose level and one of the total of six patients treated at this dose level experienced DLTs (AST and ALT elevation, each of grade 3). Exposure of SASP following oral administration varied markedly among individuals according to ABCG2 and NAT2 genotypes as previously reported.

      Conclusion:
      SASP 500 mg TID was the recommended dose when administered with CDDP plus PEM.
