      P1.01-20 - Phase III Study Comparing Gefitinib (G) to Gefitinib Combined with Carboplatin and Pemetrexed (GCP) for NSCLC with EGFR Mutations (NEJ009). (ID 11263)

      Background

      Although EGFR-TKI alone has been a standard first-line treatment for patients with advanced NSCLC with EGFR mutations, our phase II study (NEJ005) showed promising efficacy of GCP. NEJ009, an open-label, randomized phase III study, was conducted to evaluate the superiority of GCP vs G in progression-free survival (PFS), PFS2, and overall survival (OS).

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      Patients with newly diagnosed stage III/IV/recurrent NSCLC harboring EGFR activating mutations (exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R) were randomized 1:1 to G 250 mg PO QD or GCP (G 250mg PO QD combined with carboplatin AUC 5 + pemetrexed 500mg/m2, every 3 weeks). The primary endpoints consisting of PFS, PFS2, and OS were sequentially analyzed according to a preplanned gate-keeping method. Secondary endpoints included objective response rate, safety, and quality of life.

      In Sep 2017, a preplanned required number of events of PFS2 was observed. The ITT population included 344 patients with baseline characteristics fairly well balanced between the arms. Although GCP demonstrated significantly better PFS compared to G, there was no difference in PFS2 between the arms as below. Additional OS analysis (G:101 events vs GCP:83 events) revealed that median survival time of GCP was much longer than that of G (52.2 months vs 38.8 months, HR: 0.695, p=0.013).

      NEJ009 was the first phase III study which evaluated the efficacy of a combination of EGFR-TKI and platinum doublet chemotherapy in untreated advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations. Although GCP regimen failed to demonstrate its superiority in PFS2, it may increase long survivors.

      P1.16-21 - Phase I / II Study of Carboplatin, Nab-Paclitaxel, and Concurrent Radiotherapy for Patients with Locally Advanced NSCLC (ID 12112)

      16:45 - 18:00  |  Author(s): Yuka Fujita

      • Abstract

      Background

      We performed an open-label, multicenter phase I/II study (UMIN ID 000012719) to prospectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of nab-paclitaxel plus carboplatin (nab-P/C) with concurrent thoracic radiotherapy in unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      In the phase I study (standard 3+3 design), escalating doses of weekly nab-paclitaxel were given along with weekly carboplatin area under the plasma concentration time curve (AUC) 2 and concurrent radiotherapy 60 Gy in 30 fractions, followed by 2 cycles of nab-paclitaxel (100 mg/m2 on Days 1, 8 and 15) plus carboplatin (AUC 6 on Day 1). In the phase II study, nab-P/C at recommend dose (RD) was administered.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      In the Phase I study, 11 patients were enrolled with 9 evaluable for dose limiting toxicity (DLT). At level 1 (nab-paclitaxel 40mg/m2), none of 3 patients experienced DLT. At level 2 (nab-paclitaxel 50mg/ m2), 1 of 6 patients experienced DLT: grade 3 leukopenia requiring a second consecutive skip in the administration of weekly nab-P/C. Level 2 was defined as the RD. A total of 56 patients including 6 patients who received at dose of RD, were evaluable for the efficacy and safety. Of the 56 patients for safety analysis, common toxicities in the concurrent phase included grade 3/4 leukopenia (60.7 %), neutropenia (26.8 %), anemia (7.1 %), anorexia (7.1 %), esophagitis (5.4 %) and febrile neutropenia (1.8 %). In one patient, grade 3 pneumonitis was observed. There were no treatment-related deaths. The objective response rate was 76.8 % (95% confidence interval (CI), 64.2 to 85.9 %). The median progression-free survival was 11.8 months (60% CI, 10.6 to 16.2 months, 95% CI, 8.2 to 20.8 months), and the median overall survival was not reached.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      This is the first study to demonstrate encouraging feasibility and activity for concurrent chemoradiation with nab-paclitaxel 50 mg/m2 and CBDCA AUC 2 in patients with locally advanced NSCLC.
