      Background

      Apatinib is a new tyrosine kinase inhibitor against vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 and improves outcomes in patients (pts) with metastatic gastric cancer as a third line of treatment. Recently, it has been reported effective as third- or later-line treatment in advanced NSCLC. This prospective study tried to assess the efficacy and safety of apatinib combined with DTX as second-line treatment of EGFR negative NSCLC.

      In this open-label single-arm study, pts recived oral apatinib (500mg, p.o. qd) with DTX(60mg/m2,i.v. d1 q3w) as second-line therapy. The primary endpoint was progression-free-survival (PFS) and the tumor response was determined according to the RECIST 1.1. Treatment was continued until disease progression, death, or intolerable toxicity.

      Between September 2016 and April 2018, 27 pts were enrolled. In 27 pts, there were 23 pts available for efficiency evaluation and 27 pts available for safety evaluation. In the first evaluation of efficacy at one month, computed tomography scan evaluation revealed that partial response (PR) occurred in 7 of 23 pts and other 15 showed stable disease (SD). The median PFS was 4.0667 months (95% CI: 2.5333–6.3333 months). The median OS was 10.5667 months (95% CI: 10.5667– ~ months). The objective response rate(ORR) was 30.43% and disease control rate(DCR) was as high as 95.65 %. Most of the adverse reactions (AEs) were at grade 1 or 2. The grade 3 AEs were hypertension (n=12, 44.44%), hand-foot syndrome (n=3, 11.11%), diarrhea (n=2, 7.41%), mouth ulceration (n=3, 11.11%), thrombocytopenia (n=1, 3.70%). No grade 4 AE or drug-related mortality occurred.

      Apatinib has a potential application prospect in second-line therapy combined with DTX for EGFR negative NSCLC pts. The research team will continue the study.

      P1.01-98 - A Phase IIIb Trial of Afatinib in EGFRm+ NSCLC: Analyses of Outcomes in Patients with Brain Metastases or Dose Reductions (ID 12906)

      16:45 - 18:00  |  Author(s): Meiqi Shi

      • Abstract

      Background

      We previously reported interim results of a large (n=479) open-label, single-arm Phase IIIb study of afatinib in EGFR TKI-naïve patients with EGFRm+ NSCLC, in a setting similar to ‘real-world’ practice (Wu et al, WCLC, 2017). In this broad population of Asian patients, the tolerability profile of afatinib was predictable and manageable. Adverse events (AEs) were consistent with the LUX-Lung 3, 6 and 7 trials; 3.8% of patients discontinued due to drug-related AEs. Progression-free survival (PFS) and time to symptomatic progression (TTSP) was encouraging, in patients with both common and uncommon EGFR mutations. TTSP data suggested effective treatment beyond progression. Here, we assess the impact of baseline brain metastases and use of dose reductions on efficacy outcomes.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      Patients with locally advanced/metastatic EGFRm+ NSCLC were recruited in China, Hong Kong, India, Singapore and Taiwan. Afatinib 40mg/day was given until disease progression (investigator-assessed) or lack of tolerability. Treatment-related AEs could be managed by protocol-specified tolerability-guided dose adjustment.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      At data cut-off (13 Feb 2017), patient characteristics were as follows: median age, 59.0 years; female, 52.4%; EGFR mutations: Del19+/-L858R+/-uncommon, 86.0%; uncommon only, 14.0%; ECOG PS0, 19.8%; PS1, 78.1%. Prior chemotherapy lines: 0, 59.7%; 1, 30.1%; ≥2, 10.2%.

      Overall, dose reductions from 40mg/day to 30mg/day occurred in 119 patients (25%). Incidences of the most frequently reported AEs before and after dose reduction were (any grade): diarrhea, 96/51%; rash/acne, 69/58%; stomatitis, 65/42%; (≥grade 3) diarrhea, 27/4%; rash/acne, 24/11%; stomatitis, 11/5%. A total of 96 patients had a dose reduction during the first six months; median PFS in this subgroup was 14.1 months (95% CI: 10.0–19.3) versus 11.33 (10.7–13.6) months in those who remained on the starting dose (n=383); HR=1.37 (1.01–1.85), p=0.041. Median TTSP was 17.7 (13.5–23.7) and 14.7 (12.7–17.0) months, respectively; HR=1.26 (0.92–1.72), p=0.15.

      Among 92 patients (19.2%) with brain metastases at baseline, median PFS was 10.9 (8.3–14.3) months, versus 12.4 (10.8–13.9) months in those without metastases (n=387); HR=1.23 (0.91–1.65), p=0.18. Median TTSP was 14.8 (12.7–20.7) and 15.4 (12.9–18.0) months, respectively; HR=1.0 (0.71–1.40), p=1.0.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      These findings demonstrate that tolerability-guided dose adjustment of afatinib is an effective measure to reduce treatment-related AEs, while maintaining therapeutic efficacy. TTSP was similar between patients with and without brain metastasis. This is additional evidence for the efficacy of afatinib in patients with brain metastases.
