      P3.12-06 - SLFN11 Expression and Efficacy of PARP Inhibitor Therapy in Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer: ECOG-ACRIN 2511 Study (ID 14113)

      • Abstract

      Background

      Veliparib (V),an oral small molecule inhibitor of poly (ADP) ribose polymerase (PARP) enhanced cytotoxic chemotherapy in preclinical models of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The combination of V with cisplatin/etoposide (CE) doublet showed efficacy improvement as first-line therapy of extensive stage SCLC (ES-SCLC) with adjusted PFS HR: 0.63 1-sided p=0.01. There was differential treatment effect by strata (adjusted treatment HR comparing CE+V: CE: 0.34; 80% CI: 0.22 - 0.51; 1-sided p<0.001 for male patients with high tumor burden versus adjusted HR: 0.81 80% CI: 0.60 - 1.09; 1-sided p=0.18 for other patients subsets) highlighting the need to identify patient subset most likely to benefit. SLFN11 expression was previously shown to be associated with benefit of V when combined with temozolomide in relapsed SCLC and also predicted benefit of CE in preclinical models. We assessed the utility of SLFN11 as a predictive biomarker in the context of E2511 frontline clinical trial.

      Archival tissue samples collected from patients with ES-SCLC enrolled and treated on E2511 study was employed for biomarker analysis looking at SLFN11 expression by immunohistochemistry. The study has 88% power to detect a PFS hazard ratio of 0.5 comparing SLFN11 (+) and (-) patients using a one-sided 0.025 level logrank test.

      There was an imbalance between control and experimental arms in the Male/abnormal LDH stratum (in strata) with respect to Age: p=0.006; malignant pleural effusion: p=0.095 and T stage: p=0.02. Median PFS was 5.1 mos on CE (95% CI 4.1-6.1) vs. 6.2 mos on CE+V (95% CI 5.9-8.8); HR=0.32, p=0.002 (unadjusted); median OS on CE was 8.8 mos (95% CI 6.6-11.1) vs. 9.5 mos on CE+V (95% CI 7.8-12.8); HR=0.76, p=0.39. Clinical outcome differences based on SLFN11 expression is ongoing and will be presented at the meeting.
