      Background

      SCLC accounts for ~15% of lung cancers, with 5-year survival <10%. 50-90% of patients with extensive disease respond to initial treatment; many rapidly relapse due to acquired resistance to front-line platinum-based chemotherapy. Limited treatment options are available for second-line patients. nal-IRI is a liposomal formulation of irinotecan (topoisomerase-1 inhibitor), utilizing intraliposomal stabilization technology to enable high drug load and in-vivo stability.

      Method

      RESILIENT (NCT03088813) is a two-part Phase 2/3 study assessing the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of monotherapy nal-IRI in SCLC patients who progressed on/after a front-line platinum regimen: Part 1 includes dose-finding then dose-expansion. Key eligibility criteria included ECOG PS 0-1 and adequate organ function, with prior exposure to immunotherapy allowed. Eligible patients received nal-IRI 70mg/m2 or 85mg/m2 (free-base equivalent) q2w. Primary endpoints were safety and tolerability. Efficacy assessments included objective response rate (ORR), best overall response (BOR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS).

      Result

      30 patients were treated for >12 weeks in Part 1 (male, 43%; median age, 60.4y; platinum-resistant, 40%) with tumor assessments q6w. During dose-finding, 5 patients received nal-IRI 85mg/m2 (deemed not tolerable: dose-limiting toxicity) and 12 patients received nal-IRI 70mg/m2 (deemed tolerable: selected for dose expansion). At data cut-off** (median follow-up, 4.4mo), 25 patients had received nal-IRI 70mg/m2. Diarrhea was the most common gastrointestinal adverse events (AEs) (Gr3, 20%). Hematologic AEs included neutropenia (Gr3, 8%; Gr4, 8%), anemia (Gr3, 8%), febrile neutropenia (Gr3, 4%), thrombocytopenia (Gr3, 4%; Gr4, 4%). Preliminary efficacy identified 11 patients with partial responses (ORR 44%), BOR (PR+SD) of 72%, and 12-week disease control rate (DCR12wks PR+SD) of 48%. PFS and OS are not yet mature.

      Conclusion

      Part 1 demonstrated encouraging anti-tumor activity for nal-IRI 70mg/m2 in patients with SCLC (ORR: 44%, BOR: 72%). nal-IRI 70mg/m2 was generally well tolerated. Future research is warranted to assess nal-IRI in second-line SCLC.

      Background

      Extensive-stage (ES)-SCLC is a recalcitrant disease associated with a median OS of ~10 months following etoposide-platinum (EP); new treatments that prolong survival are needed. CASPIAN (NCT03043872) is an open-label, phase 3 study of durvalumab (anti-PD-L1), ± tremelimumab (anti-CTLA-4), combined with EP as first-line treatment for patients with ES-SCLC. Here we report results for durvalumab + EP (D+EP) versus EP from a planned interim analysis.

      Method

      Patients with previously untreated ES-SCLC (ECOG PS 0/1) were randomised (1:1:1) to durvalumab 1500 mg + EP q3w; durvalumab 1500 mg + tremelimumab 75 mg + EP q3w; or EP q3w. Patients in immunotherapy arms received up to 4 cycles of EP followed by maintenance durvalumab until progression. Patients in the EP arm received up to 6 cycles of EP and prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI), at the investigator’s discretion. Investigator’s choice of cisplatin or carboplatin was allowed across all arms and was a stratification factor at randomisation. The primary endpoint was OS. Data cutoff: 11 March 2019.

      Result

      268 patients were randomised to D+EP and 269 to EP. Baseline characteristics were well balanced between arms. In the EP arm, 56.8% of patients received 6 cycles of EP. At the interim analysis, D+EP significantly improved OS compared to EP with a HR of 0.73 (95% CI, 0.591-0.909; p=0.0047); mOS 13.0 versus 10.3 months, respectively. 33.9% of patients were alive at 18 months with D+EP versus 24.7% with EP. Secondary endpoints of PFS and ORR were also improved with D+EP compared to EP: PFS HR 0.78 (95% CI, 0.645-0.936); mPFS 5.1 versus 5.4 months; 12-month PFS rate 17.5% versus 4.7%; investigator-assessed ORR (RECIST v1.1; unconfirmed) 79.5% versus 70.3% (odds ratio, 1.64 [95% CI, 1.106-2.443]). The incidences of grade 3/4 AEs (61.5% versus 62.4%) and AEs leading to discontinuation (9.4% each) were similar between arms; the incidence of haematological toxicities was numerically higher in the EP arm. The durvalumab + tremelimumab + EP arm continues blinded to final analysis.

      Conclusion

      The addition of durvalumab to EP as first-line treatment for ES-SCLC significantly improved OS (27% reduction in risk of death) versus a robust control arm that permitted up to 6 cycles of EP and PCI. Of note, this chemo-immunotherapy regimen offers flexibility in platinum choice (carboplatin or cisplatin), reflecting current clinical practice for this challenging disease. No new safety signals were identified.
