MA13.05 - Nab-Paclitaxel Maintenance in Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC): Updated Results of the Phase III ABOUND.sqm Study (Now Available) (ID 294)
14:00 - 15:30 | Author(s): Niels Reinmuth
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Background: nab-Paclitaxel maintenance therapy after nab-paclitaxel/carboplatin induction in patients with advanced squamous NSCLC was evaluated in the phase III, randomized, controlled, open-label, multicenter ABOUND.sqm trial. At the 12-month follow-up, there was no statistically significant difference in progression-free survival (PFS) between patients randomized to maintenance nab-paclitaxel + best supportive care (BSC) vs BSC alone. However, a trend of an overall survival (OS) advantage was observed with nab-paclitaxel + BSC vs BSC alone. Here we report the 18-month follow-up of OS.
Method
Methods: Patients (aged ≥ 18 years) with histologically or cytologically confirmed stage IIIB/IV squamous NSCLC and no prior chemotherapy were eligible. Patients received four 21-day cycles of nab-paclitaxel 100 mg/m2 (days 1, 8, and 15) plus carboplatin AUC 6 (day 1) as induction. Patients with radiologically assessed complete or partial response or stable disease without clinical progression after 4 cycles were randomized 2:1 to maintenance nab-paclitaxel 100 mg/m2 (days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle) plus BSC or BSC alone until disease progression. The primary efficacy analysis was performed on the ITT population. PFS from randomization into the maintenance part of the study was the primary endpoint. Secondary endpoints included safety, OS (from randomization), and response.
Result
Results: 420 patients received induction therapy; 202 were randomized to maintenance nab-paclitaxel + BSC (n = 136) or BSC alone (n = 66). The median PFS in patients in the nab-paclitaxel + BSC arm vs those in the BSC-alone arm was 3.1 vs 2.6 months (HR, 0.85; P = 0.349), respectively; the median OS was 17.8 vs 12.2 months (HR, 0.71; P = 0.058), respectively. The overall response rate was 69.1% vs 57.6% (RRR, 1.20; P = 0.087). Following the maintenance part, 73.5% (nab-paclitaxel + BSC) and 68.2% (BSC alone) of patients received subsequent anti-cancer treatment. Over the entire study, the most frequent grade 3/4 TEAEs were neutropenia (53.1% vs 50.0%) and anemia (33.1% vs 32.3%); only peripheral neuropathy occurred in ≥ 5% of patients during maintenance (13.1% in the nab-paclitaxel + BSC arm).
Conclusion
Conclusion: Although PFS and OS differences were not statistically significant in the ITT population, the 18-month follow-up of OS demonstrated the feasibility of nab-paclitaxel maintenance therapy for patients with anced squamous NSCLC.

OA04.07 - Mutations Associated with Sensitivity or Resistance to Immunotherapy in mNSCLC: Analysis from the MYSTIC Trial (Now Available) (ID 901)
15:15 - 16:45 | Author(s): Niels Reinmuth
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
In the Phase 3 MYSTIC study (NCT02453282), blood tumour mutational burden, at various thresholds from ≥12 to ≥20 mut/Mb (bTMB≥20), has been associated with improved OS and PFS with first-line durvalumab (D; anti-PD-L1) +/- tremelimumab (T; anti-CTLA-4) versus platinum-based chemotherapy (CT). Specific gene mutations have been associated with resistance (STK11 and KEAP1) or sensitisation (ARID1A) to anti-PD-(L)1 monotherapy. However, the relationship between gene alterations and response to anti-PD-(L)1 ± anti-CTLA-4 are not well characterised. Here we explore associations between mutations and survival outcomes in the MYSTIC patient population.
Method
Circulating tumour DNA from baseline blood specimens was profiled using the GuardantOMNI platform. Samples were available from 1003 patients (89.7% of ITT; 943 mutation-evaluable). Survival outcomes were analysed in patients with (m) or without (wt) non-synonymous somatic mutations in STK11, KEAP1, or ARID1A.
Result
In the mutation-evaluable population, STK11m, KEAP1m, and ARID1Am frequencies were 16%, 18% and 12%, respectively (19%, 20%, and 11% [nonsquamous]; 7%, 13%, and 15% [squamous]). Across treatment arms, patients with STK11m or KEAP1m had a shorter median OS (mOS) than patients with STK11wt (D, 10.3 vs 13.3 mo; D+T, 4.4 vs 11.3 mo; CT, 6.7 vs 13.1 mo) or KEAP1wt (D, 7.6 vs 14.6 mo; D+T, 9.2 vs 11.3 mo; CT, 6.3 vs 13.3 mo) mNSCLC. In the D+T arm, patients with ARID1Am had a longer mOS than patients with ARID1Awt mNSCLC (D, 8.6 vs 13.7 mo; D+T, 23.2 vs 9.8 mo; CT, 10.6 vs 12.4 mo). Additional mutational analyses will be presented.
Conclusion
In these analyses from the MYSTIC study, poorer outcomes were observed across treatment arms in patients with mNSCLC and mutations in STK11 or KEAP1 compared with those without the corresponding mutations. In patients receiving D+T, ARID1Am was associated with survival benefits compared with ARID1wt. These data are exploratory and require further validation.

PL02.11 - Overall Survival with Durvalumab Plus Etoposide-Platinum in First-Line Extensive-Stage SCLC: Results from the CASPIAN Study (Now Available) (ID 2265)
08:00 - 10:15 | Author(s): Niels Reinmuth
- Abstract
- Presentation
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.
