MA21.11 - A Multicenter Phase II Study of Low-Dose Erlotinib in Frail Patients with EGFR Mutation-Positive, Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: TORG1425 (Now Available) (ID 633)
14:30 - 16:00 | Author(s): Akinobu Hamada

- Presentation
Background
We conducted a multicenter phase II trial evaluating the efficacy of low-dose erlotinib (ERL) in frail patients with EGFR-mt non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The primary endpoint was met, with the objective response rate (ORR) of 60%. Here we present the final overall survival (OS) results. Furthermore, we investigated the effect of ABCB1 genetic polymorphisms on the ERL plasma concentration pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD).
Method
Chemotherapy-naïve NSCLC patients with EGFR mt who had frailty were enrolled and received ERL 50 mg/d. Patient’s frailty was defined as follows: (Group 1) 20 to 74 years of age with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (PS) ≥2 or Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) ≥6 points; (Group 2) 75 to 80 years of age with PS ≥1 or CCI ≥6 points; (Group 3) ≥81 years of age with any PS and CCI. ABCB1 gene polymorphism analysis were using the i-densyTM genetic testing platform, and blood samples for the ABCB1 genetic testing were collected prior to treatment. Steady-state trough plasma ERL concentration was measured with a high-performance liquid chromatograph-tandem mass spectrometry at 15 days (±7 days) after initiating ERL administration.
Result
From December 2014 and April 2017, 80 patients were enrolled: males/females 26/54; median age 80 (range 49-90); Group 1/2/3 15/28/37; Ad/Sq/Others 76/1/3. EGFR mt types were: exon 19/21 42/38. All 80 patients were included in efficacy and safety analysis. Median progression-free survival and OS were 9.3 (95%CI: 7.2-11.4), 26.1 (95%CI: 21.9-30.4) months respectively. The trough of ERL could be measured in 48 patients, and 45 of these patients were analyzed for ABCB1 genetic polymorphism. The ORR for the 48 patients was 62.5%, and their median trough of ERL was 685 ng/ml (range 153-1950) , which surpassed the reported “effective” level (500ng/ml). Nine (60%) of 15 the patients who failed to achieve the level responded. Genetic polymorphisms were not correlated with ERL PK, nor were they associated with efficacy and adverse events.
Conclusion
This is the first prospective study evaluating low-dose ERL for frail patients with EGFR mt NSCLC. This treatment was safe and effective, and the ABCB1 genetic polymorphisms did not affect ERL PK/PD. Clinical trial information: UMIN 000015949.

P1.14-36 - Phase II Trial of Afatinib in Elderly Patients Aged Over 75 Years with EGFR Mutation Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (ID 970)
09:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Akinobu Hamada
- Abstract
Background
Although reports on the use of gefitinib or erlotinib in elderly patients were occasionally found, those on afatinib were rare. According to the analysis of 54 Japanese patients in the LUX-Lung3 study, the dose reduction of afatinib from 40 mg/day was necessary for 76.0% of patients. However, the prolonged administration was possible after a dose reduction to 30 or 20 mg/day, and antitumor effects were maintained with the reduced dose.
Method
The efficacy and safety of afatinib at 30 mg/day in PS 0-1 patients who were aged 75 years with EGFR mutation positive chemotherapy-naïve non-small cell lung cancer were studied. The primary endpoint was the response rate (RR), and the planned number of registered cases was set at 35, with a threshold RR of 50%, an expected RR of 75%, α of 0.05, and β of 0.1. The secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), the incidence rate of adverse events (AEs), QOL survey (FACT-L), and trough plasma concentration of afatinib at steady state (PK, collected between the 8th to 15th day after the start of oral administration).
Result
The data of 35 patients were collected from May 2015 to August 2017. Patient background was, median age of 79 years (75-92), male/female: 8/27, PS 0/1: 8/27, adenocarcinoma/NSCLC: 30/5, IIIA/IIIB/IV/postoperative recurrence (TNM 7th edition): 2/2/22/9, and exon19del/exon21L858R/exon19del+exon21L858R: 15/19/1. The best overall efficacy was PR/SD/PD/NE: 28/4/1/2, and the RR was 80.0% (95% CI, 63.1-91.6). The median PFS and OS were 16.3 months (95% CI, 11.8-27.0) and not reached, respectively. The main AEs were rash 69%, diarrhea 60%, and paronychia 51%. While the initial afatinib dose was 30 mg, nine (26%) patients continued with 30 mg, 23 (66%) were reduced to 20 mg, and 3 (8%) discontinued due to AEs (2 ILD and 1 stomatitis). Treatment-related death was not observed. There were no significant change of QOL at baseline, after 4, 8, and 12 weeks. PK analyses showed steady state plasma concentration as 22.8 ng/mL which was comparable to reported plasma concentration of 40 mg afatinib in LUX-LUNG3 and 6 (24.3 ng/mL). No obvious PK differences were found according to dose reduction, adverse event, and response.
Conclusion
Afatinib at 30 mg/day could be an effective treatment option for elderly patients, over 75 years of age, with good PS. (UMIN 0000177050)
