      P1.01-34 - Docetaxel Plus Ramucirumab with Prophylactic PEG-G-CSF Support for Chemo-NaïVe Elderly NSCLC Patients: A Phase II Study (WJOG9416L) (ID 12400)

      16:45 - 18:00  |  Author(s): Hidetoshi Hayashi

      • Abstract

      Background

      Docetaxel monotherapy is the standard of care for chemo-naïve Japanese elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), according to our results of phase III trial comparing docetaxel and vinorelbine monotherapies (WJTOG9904). In a pivotal phase III study (REVEL), docetaxel plus ramucirumab demonstrated superior response rate (RR) and progression-free survival (PFS) over docetaxel monotherapy in second-line setting for advanced NSCLC. These differences in RR and PFS were translated into overall survival (OS) benefit. This evidence prompted us to investigate docetaxel plus ramucirumab for chemo-naïve elderly patients. However, in a similarly designed Japanese randomized phase II trial (JVCG trial), febrile neutropenia (FN) was observed in 34.2% of docetaxel plus ramucirumab arm. This high incidence of FN is a clinical concern when using docetaxel plus ramucirumab for elderly patients. The ASCO practice guideline recommends primary prophylactic granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) when the risk of FN is 20% or higher. PEGylated-G-CSF (pegfilgrastim) administered once a cycle demonstrated reduction of FN incidence in many types of cancers. Based on the above background, we considered that primary prophylactic PEG-G-CSF would be beneficial for elderly NSCLC patients who received docetaxel plus ramucirumab.

      This is a prospective multicenter, single-arm, phase II study conducted by West Japan Oncology Group (WJOG). Main inclusion criteria includes: chemo-naïve; aged ≥75; histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC; ECOG PS 0/1; adequate organ functions; with measurable disease; without contraindication of ramucirumab; written informed consent; and estimated life expectancy of at least 3 months. Intravenous docetaxel (60 mg/m2, day 1) plus ramucirumab (10 mg/kg, day 1) with subcutaneous PEG-G-CSF (3.6 mg, day 2) every 3 weeks is administered until progression. Continuous docetaxel or ramucirumab monotherapy is permitted when intolerable toxicities occur but clinical benefit is obtained by each drug. The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints are PFS, OS, disease control rate, and safety. We assumed that the threshold and expected ORR were 20% and 35%, respectively. Based on this, the number of patients was calculated to be 59 to provide a power of 80% with probability of one-sided type I error being 0.05. Taking ineligible patients into account, the sample size was set at 65. When the study results are promising, we plan to conduct a phase III trial to compare docetaxel plus ramucirumab with PEG-G-CSF support vs. docetaxel monotherapy for chemo-naïve elderly NSCLC patients. Clinical trial information: UMIN000030598.

      P3.01-96 - Clinical Characteristics of Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer Harboring Mutations in Exon 20 Of EGFR or HER2 (ID 11715)

      12:00 - 13:30  |  Author(s): Hidetoshi Hayashi

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background

      Unlike common epidermal growth factor receptor gene (EGFR) mutations that confer sensitivity to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), mutations in exon 20 of either EGFR or the human EGFR2 gene (HER2) are associated with insensitivity to EGFR-TKIs, with treatment options for patients with such mutations being limited.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      Clinical characteristics, outcome of EGFR-TKI or nivolumab treatment, and the presence of coexisting mutations were reviewed for NSCLC patients with exon-20 mutations of EGFR or HER2 as detected by routine application of an amplicon-based next-generation sequencing panel.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      Between July 2013 and June 2017, 206 patients with pathologically confirmed lung cancer were screened for genetic alterations including HER2 and EGFR mutations. Ten patients harbored HER2 exon-20 insertions (one of whom also carried an exon-19 deletion of EGFR), and 12 patients harbored EGFR exon-20 mutations. Five of the 13 patients with EGFR mutations were treated with EGFR-TKIs, two of whom manifested a partial response, two stable disease, and one progressive disease. Among the seven patients treated with nivolumab, one patient manifested a partial response, three stable disease, and three progressive disease, with most (86%) of these patients discontinuing treatment as a result of disease progression within 4 months. The H1047R mutation of PIK3CA detected in one patient was the only actionable mutation coexisting with the exon-20 mutations of EGFR or HER2.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Potentially actionable mutations thus rarely coexist with exon-20 mutations of EGFR or HER2, and EGFR-TKIs and nivolumab show limited efficacy in patients with such exon-20 mutations.

      P3.04-29 - Efficacy of Re-Treatment with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Patients with Pretreated Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (ID 13680)

      12:00 - 13:30  |  Author(s): Hidetoshi Hayashi

      • Abstract

      Background

      The majority of NSCLC patients treated with immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) develop acquired resistance. Conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy remains the treatment of choice for those patients. There are case reports on re-administration of ICIs for advanced NSCLC; however, these case series are difficult to draw definitive conclusions. We therefore retrospectively reviewed the efficacy of retreatment with ICI in our hospital.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      Patients with pathologically confirmed advanced NSCLC who were treated with ICI in Kindai University hospital were retrospectively reviewed from December 2015 to July 2017. Among 212 NSCLC patients treated with ICIs, 10 patients (4.7 %) were retreated with ICI.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      Number of patients treated with Nivolumab, Pembrolizumab and Atezolizumab were four, five and one, respectively. The best response of initial treatment with ICIs among 10 patients were five partial response (PR), two stable disease (SD) and three progressive disease (PD). Whereas, three patients (30%) showed SD and the others (70%) had PD to ICI retreatment. No severe adverse events attributable to the ICIs were noted.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      In the limited number of retrospective study, we could not find good responders for retreatment with ICIs. Best overall response during the previous treatment period is not related to the efficacy of retreatment with ICIs. At present, former responder to ICI therapy may not be the proper candidate for ICI re-challenge treatment strategy. Further biomarker analysis and treatment strategy is warranted for the patients and physicians to retreat with ICIs.
