      Background

      In patients with EGFR mutation-positive advanced stage NSCLC, first-line dacomitinib significantly improved PFS, OS, DoR and time to treatment failure vs gefitinib (ARCHER 1050; NCT01774721).1,2 Dacomitinib starting dose was 45 mg QD for all patients, with reductions to 30 or 15 mg QD permitted. We explored effects of dacomitinib dose reduction on safety and efficacy in this ongoing study.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      Patients with newly diagnosed stage IIIB/IV or recurrent NSCLC harboring an EGFR mutation (exon 19 del or exon 21 L858R) randomized to dacomitinib received 45 mg PO QD. Study endpoints and protocol-defined dose reduction parameters were previously described.1 We evaluated reasons for dose reductions, and their effects on incidence and severity of common adverse events (AEs) and key efficacy endpoints (PFS, OS, ORR). Data cutoff dates: 17-Feb-2017 (OS), 29-Jul-2016 (other endpoints).

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      Overall, 150 (66.1%) patients dose reduced for AEs (87 and 63 reduced to 30 and 15 mg QD as lowest dose, respectively); most commonly for skin toxicities (62.6%) and diarrhea (14.0%). Median time to each successive dose reduction was ~12 weeks. Incidence and severity of AEs declined following dose reduction, including grade ≥3 diarrhea (11.3% before vs 4.0% after), dermatitis acneiform (15.3% vs 6.7%), stomatitis (3.3% vs 2.7%) and paronychia (7.3% vs 4.7%).

      PFS was similar in dose-reduced and all dacomitinib-treated patients (Figure).

      Median OS results were also similar (dose-reduced patients: 36.7 mo [95% CI: 32.6, NR]; all dacomitinib-treated patients: 34.1 mo [95% CI: 29.5, 37.7] as were ORRs (dose-reduced patients: 79.3% [95% CI: 72.0, 85.5]; all dacomitinib-treated patients: 74.9% [95% CI: 68.7, 80.4]).

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Efficacy was similar in the dose-reduced patients and the overall study population. Incidence/severity of dacomitinib-related AEs decreased with dose reduction, thereby allowing patients to continue treatment.

      P1.01-53 - Bone Metastases and Efficacy of Immunotherapy in Patients with Pretreated Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (ID 11980)

      16:45 - 18:00  |  Author(s): Maria Rita Migliorino

      • Abstract

      Background

      Approximately 40% of NSCLC patients develop bone metastases (BoM). Bone has active functions in regulating immune system. To date, no trial evaluated the role of BoM in modulating response to immunotherapy. Aim of the present study was to investigate whether presence of BoM impact on immunotherapy efficacy.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      Two different cohorts of pretreated NSCLC patients (cohort A: Non-squamous; cohort B: Squamous) were evaluated for nivolumab efficacy in terms of objective response rate (ORR), progression free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) according to presence or absence of BoM. All patients received nivolumab at standard dose of 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks within the Italian Expanded Access Program.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      Cohort A accounted for 1588 patients with non-squamous NSCLC: 626 (39%) with (BoM+) and 962 (61%) without BoM (BoM-). Cohort B accounted for 370 patients with squamous histology: 102 BoM+ (32%) and 251 BoM- (68%). In Cohort A, BoM+ had a significantly lower ORR (12% versus 34%; p < 0.0001), shorter PFS (2.0 versus 4.0 months, p < 0.0001) and shorter OS (7.4 versus 15.3 months, p <0.0001). In cohort B, BoM+ had significantly lower ORR (15% versus 22%; p < 0.04), shorter PFS (2.7 versus 5.4 months, p <0.0001) and shorter OS (5.0 versus 10.9 months, p <0.0001). Presence of BoM negatively affected outcome irrespective of PS (OS cohort A: PS-0 BoM+ 12.0 versus 20.9 months in PS-0 BoM-, p<0.0001; OS cohort B: PS-0 BoM+ 5.8 versus 16.4 months in PS-0 BoM-, p<0.0001). Multivariate analysis confirmed that presence of BoM independently associated with higher risk of death with HR 1.64 and HR 1.78, for Cohort A and B, respectively.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Our results, the first assessing BoM in patients treated with immunotherapy, suggested that BoM predict lower efficacy of immunotherapy. BoM should be included as stratification factor in clinical trials.

      P1.01-73 - Preliminary Results of the SENECA (SEcond Line NintEdanib in Non-Small Cell Lung CAncer) Trial: An Italian Experience. (ID 13281)

      16:45 - 18:00  |  Author(s): Maria Rita Migliorino

      Background

      Nintedanib is a multi-target small-molecule with anti-angiogenetic activity which confers longer progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) as second-line combination treatment with docetaxel versus standard-of-care, in non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (nsNSCLC) patients, giving to rapidly progressing patients the greatest survival benefit. Considering the higher tolerability of weekly docetaxel than docetaxel q3wks in the real-life, the SENECA trial, a phase IIb, open label, Italian multicentre study, aims to evaluate whether treatment with nintedanib and docetaxel could be effective and safe as second-line option in nsNSCLC patients with the two different schedules.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      Patients from eighteen Italian oncologic centres, with stage IIIB/IV non-oncogene addicted nsNSCLC patients, progressing after first-line chemotherapy, have been treated with docetaxel (T1: 33 mg/mq on days 1 and 8 in a 21-days cycle; T2: 75 mg/mq q3wks) plus continuous oral nintedanib, with the possibility of maintenance in case of stabilization or response. Primary endpoint was PFS (by investigator’s assessment), while secondary endpoints included OS, safety and quality-of-life. Study stratifies patients into two cohorts according to relapse-timing (within or over 3 months) from end of first-line chemotherapy.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      From January 2016 to data cut-off, on 30th March 2018, 197 patients have been evaluated: 30 were registered as screening failures, mainly for contraindications to nintedanib use. The 167 patients considered in this preliminary analysis had a median age of 63.4 years (range 35-86), were predominantly male (68.9%), smokers or former-smokers (84.4%) and with ECOG-performance status 0 (72.5%). According to investigator’s choice, 82 patients have been treated with T1 docetaxel (49.1%), 85 (50.9%) with T2 docetaxel (median docetaxel treatment 3.5 and 3.7 21-days cycles, respectively). No significant differences in median PFS have been observed between T1 and T2 (3.83 vs 4.32 months, respectively; HR 0.889 [95% IC 0.598-1.321], p-value=0.559). After a median follow-up of 7.28 months (standard deviation=5.55), a trend of similar OS has emerged in both T1 and T2 (6.63 vs 7.91 months, respectively; HR 0.770 [95% IC 0.484-1.225], p-value=0.270). Survival data of relapse-timing cohorts are not yet mature. Commonest toxicities in T1 and T2 were: fatigue (53.6% vs 65.9%, respectively), diarrhea (50.0% vs 47.0%), afebrile neutropenia (13.4% vs 52.9%) and ALT elevation (29.3% vs 20.0%).

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      The SENECA trial is a real-life Italian experience, whose preliminary results confirm the efficacy and safety of second-line treatment with nintedanib and docetaxel for nsNSCLC patients, regardless from docetaxel schedule, suggesting higher toxicities for docetaxel q3wks.
