      Background:
      Both cisplatin (CDDP)+S-1 and CDDP+pemetrexed (PEM) can be given at full systemic doses with thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and CDDP+PEM is one of the standard chemotherapy regimens in patients with advanced non-squamous (non-sq) NSCLC. This multicenter, randomized, open-label, phase II study (SPECTRA) compared the efficacy and safety of the two above-mentioned promising regimens combined with TRT in patients with unresectable locally advanced non-sq NSCLC.

      Method:
      Patients were randomly assigned to receive CDDP+S-1 (CDDP 60mg/m2, d1, and S-1 80mg/m2, d1-14, q4w, up to 4 cycles) or CDDP+PEM (CDDP 75mg/m2, d1, and PEM 500mg/m2, d1, q3w, up to 4 cycles) combined with TRT 60Gy in 30 fractions. The primary endpoint was 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate. If the 2-year PFS rate is assumed to be 25% in the inferior therapy group and 15% higher in the superior therapy group of this study, the sample size needed for selection of the optimum treatment group at a probability of approximately 95% will be 51 cases/group with the Simon’s selection design. The sample size was set at 100 patients.

      Result:
      Between Jan 2013 and Oct 2016, 102 patients were enrolled in this study from 9 institutions in Japan. All 102 patients were eligible and assessable, of whom 52 were assigned to CDDP+S-1 and 50 to CDDP+PEM. Baseline characteristics were similar (CDDP+S-1/CDDP+PEM): median age (range) 64.5 (39-73)/63.5 (32-74) years; women, n=17 (33%)/n=17 (34%); stage IIIB, n=21 (40%)/n=20 (40%); ECOG PS of 1, n=14 (27%)/n=14 (28%); never smoker, n=12 (23%)/n=12 (24%); and adenocarcinoma, n=47(90%)/n=45(90%). Completion rate of TRT (60Gy) and chemotherapy (4 cycles) was 92%/98% and 73%/86%, respectively. Response rate was 60%/64%. Grade 3 or higher toxicities included febrile neutropenia (12%/2%), anorexia (8%/16%), diarrhea (8%/0%), esophagitis (6%/8%), pneumonia (4%/4%), neutropenia (38%/52%), anemia (8%/12%), thrombocytopenia (4%/6%), and hyponatremia (12%/12%). Grade 1 radiation pneumonitis was observed in 8 (15%)/2 (4%) patients on the basis of the data collected 30 days or less after the discontinuation of protocol treatment. No treatment-related death was observed. The data on PFS and overall survival are immature.

      Conclusion:
      Response rate was similar between the two arms. Toxicities were tolerable and manageable in both arms; however febrile neutropenia was more frequently observed in the CDDP+S-1 arm. We will present the updated safety data of this study at the conference. Survival data will be analyzed in late 2018.

      P1.03-027 - Randomized Phase 2 Study Comparing CBDCA+PTX+BEV and CDDP+PEM+BEV in Treatment-Naïve Advanced Non-Sq NSCLC (CLEAR Study) (ID 8490)

      09:30 - 16:00  |  Author(s): T. Yamanaka

      • Abstract

      Background:
      The study objective was to compare efficacy and safety of CBDCA+PTX+BEV and CDDP+PEM+BEV in non-squamous (non-Sq) NSCLC patients.

      Method:
      Treatment-naïve patients aged 20-74 with advanced or recurrent EGFR/ALK-negative non-Sq NSCLC were randomly assigned at 1:2 ratio to either treatment A (4 cycles of CBDCA [AUC 6] + PTX [200mg/m[2]] + BEV [15mg/kg] q3wk, and maintenance therapy with BEV q3wk until progression) or treatment B (4 cycles of CDDP [75mg/m[2]] + PEM [500mg/m[2]] + BEV q3wk, and maintenance therapy with PEM + BEV until progression). The primary endpoint was PFS by central review. The secondary endpoints included OS and safety profile. Target enrollment number was 210.

      Result:
      A total of 55 sites across Japan enrolled 199 patients: 67/132 (A/B). The median age was 67/66 years, 70%/74% were male, 54%/52% were PS 0, 75%/73% were stage IV and 93%/98% had adenocarcinomas. As of April 14, 2017, patients had completed a median of 7/8 treatment cycles, while 94%/80% had discontinued treatment. The most common ≥G3 adverse events were neutropenia (75%/24%), and hyponatraemia (6%/10%). The most common BEV-related adverse events (≥G1) were hypertension (44%/58%), proteinuria (52%/43%) and epistaxis (26%/14%). Dose reduction was necessary due to an adverse event in 31%/22% patients. Treatment-related death (pulmonary infection) was reported in 1 patient receiving treatment B.

      Conclusion:
      CBDCA+PTX+BEV and CDDP+PEM+BEV had different safety profiles. Efficacy results including the primary endpoints will be presented in 2018.

      P2.07-042 - Feasibility Study of Nivolumab and Docetaxel in Previously Treated Patients with Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (ID 9936)

      09:30 - 16:00  |  Author(s): T. Yamanaka

      • Abstract

      Background:
      Nivolumab (NIV) is a standard second-line treatment for previously treated patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although there is a possibility that a higher effect can be expected by combination NIV and cytotoxic agents, verification in a clinical trial is required. Because there was only one report of phase Ib trial (N=6) of NIV + docetaxel (DTX) combination (Kanda et al, Ann Oncol 2016), we planned a feasibility study to examine the safety of this combination prior to large scale clinical trials.

      Method:
      Eligibility criteria included a history of platinum-based chemotherapy, PS 0-1, and adequate organ functions. Patients received NIV 3 mg/kg (days 1, 15) and DTX 60mg/m[2 ](day 1) every 4 weeks for a maximum of 2 courses. The primary endpoint was safety of 1st course and evaluated dose-limiting toxicities (DLT). This study used a 3 + 3 design and was considered to be feasible if DLT occurred in one-thirds or less of the patients. The secondary endpoints were the adverse events and the response rate. DLT was defined in accordance with the phase Ib study of Kanda et al .

      Result:
      Between Aug 2016 and Sep 2016, three patients were enrolled into this trial in 2 centers in Japan. First case was 57 years old female / adenocarcinoma, 2nd case was 44 years old male / squamous cell carcinoma, 3rd case was 58 years old male / adenocarcinoma. Grade 3 or more adverse events occurred only in one case of Grade 4 neutropenia, and no DLTs were observed in any cases. All patients completed 2 courses and objective tumor responses were PD, SD, PR, respectively. Two of three patients still survive more than 10 months from start of this therapy.

      Conclusion:
      NIV+ DTX combination therapy was acceptable for safety and further evaluation is warranted. Because the use of combination NIV plus cytotoxic agents is not approved in Japan, we are planning to conduct a phase II / III trial (CONDUCT study) comparing NIV + DTX with NIV alone in previously treated patients with advanced NSCLC in the Thoracic Oncology Research Group (TORG), using an Advanced Medical Healthcare in Japan.
