    Background
    

    A post hoc analysis of JVCG, a Japanese phase 2 trial suggested that the QOL (quality of life) deteriorated more rapidly in patients with docetaxel-related FN than in patients without FN. A post hoc analysis of REVEL, a global phase 3 trial, was performed to explore the association between FN and PROs in East Asian (EA) (Korea, Taiwan) and Non-EA patients.

    Lung Cancer Symptom Scale (LCSS) and EQ-5D-3L were assessed at baseline, every cycle, at discontinuation and 30-day follow up. The summary statistics of LCSS total score and EQ-5D Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score were calculated. Time to deterioration (TtD) was defined as the time from randomization to the first 15-mm increase from baseline for the LCSS and first 15% decrease for the EQ-5D VAS and analysed with the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazard model by treatment-emergent FN status regardless of assigned treatment. Also the changes in LCSS total score and EQ-5D VAS score from baseline to the treatment completion were summarized.

    1253 patients randomized to receive RAM+DOC (EA: n=43 and Non-EA: 585) or PLA+DOC (n=46 and 579). FN occurred in 21.3% of EA and 12.3% of Non-EA patients. Patient compliance with the LCSS and EQ-5D were 84.2% and 84.4%, respectively in EA and 82.7% and 83.2% in Non-EA patients. For EA patients, HRs (95% CI) for TtD were 0.572 (0.250, 1.313) in LCSS total and 0.792 (0.350, 1.790) in EQ-5D VAS, indicating longer TtD in PROs for patients without FN. For Non-EA patients, HRs (95% CI) for TtD were 0.994 (0.728, 1.357) in LCSS total and 1.023 (0.787, 1.330) in EQ-5D VAS and there seemed to be no difference in TtD between patients with and without FN. At treatment completion, the unadjusted mean change from baseline of LCSS total was numerically lower in EA patients without FN: 12.97 (with FN) vs 5.94 (without FN) (p=0.1748) and significantly lower in Non-EA patients without FN: 10.50 (with FN) vs 5.55 (without FN) (p=0.0147), demonstrating a greater PROs deterioration in patients with FN.

    PROs of EA patients with FN deteriorated more rapidly than in those without FN in contrast with non-EA patients. This finding was consistent with a result in the Japanese phase 2 JVCG trial. Also Non-EA patients without FN maintained their PROs significantly better than patients with FN upon treatment completion. This trend was also shown in EA patients. Prevention of docetaxel-related FN may contribute to maintaining QOL.
