      Introduction

      Many patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) develop drug resistance to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy, and second-line therapies are limited. RESILIENT (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT03088813) is a two-part phase 2/3 study assessing the safety, tolerability and efficacy of liposomal irinotecan monotherapy as second-line treatment for patients with SCLC. Here we report data from part 1 of the RESILIENT study (data cut off, 2 December 2019).

      Methods

      RESILIENT part 1 was an open-label, single-arm study comprising dose-exploration and dose-expansion phases. Eligible patients with SCLC were aged ≥ 18 years, had progressed with platinum-based first-line therapy, had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score of 0 or 1, and had adequate organ function; prior exposure to immunotherapy was permitted. During dose exploration, participants received liposomal irinotecan 85 mg/m2 or 70 mg/m2 free base administered every 2 weeks; the identified recommended dose was used during dose expansion. 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).

      Results

      In total, 30 patients received liposomal irinotecan in RESILIENT part 1 (women, 56.7%; median age, 61.5 years). During dose exploration, four patients who received liposomal irinotecan 85 mg/m2 experienced dose limiting toxicities, including diarrhea (n = 3) and abnormal liver function test (n = 1). Thus, this dose was not considered tolerable and enrollment into the 70 mg/m2 cohort was initiated; a total of 25 patients (platinum resistant, 40%) received liposomal irinotecan 70 mg/m2 (dose exploration, 12 patients; dose expansion, 13 patients). Among the 25 patients who received the recommended dose of 70 mg/m2, 40% had one or more grade ≥ 3 treatment-related treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), most commonly diarrhea (20%), neutropenia (16%), and anemia, thrombocytopenia, asthenia and abdominal sepsis (each 8%); 8% of patients discontinued treatment owing to TEAEs. Median (95% CI) PFS was 3.98 (1.45–4.24) months and OS was 8.08 (5.16–9.82) months. ORR (complete response + partial response) was 44% and BOR was: complete response, 4%; partial response, 40%; stable disease, 28%; progressive disease, 20%; non-evaluable, 8%.Thirty patients were treated in RESILIENT part 1. Full results to be presented in the updated abstract.

      Conclusion

      In participants with SCLC who had progressed with platinum-based first-line therapy, liposomal irinotecan at the recommended dose of 70 mg/m2 showed promising antitumor activity and safety findings were aligned with the known safety profile. RESILIENT part 2, an ongoing, phase 3, randomized controlled trial versus topotecan will provide further data regarding the efficacy and safety of liposomal irinotecan 70 mg/m2 for the second-line treatment of patients with SCLC.

      Introduction

      Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have revolutionized cancer care with greater overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC). However, even for patients with good ECOG performance status (PS) 0-1 and high PD-L1 expression, the overall response rate to single-agent ICI in the treatment naïve population is only 45%. Combination treatments might increase efficacy but add toxicity and higher cost. Better predictors of response to treatment are needed to guide treatment decisions. A prospectively designed, observational study assessed the ability of clinical factors and a clinically validated, blood-based, host immune classifier (HIC) to predict ICI therapy outcomes.

      Methods

      Over 3,500 NSCLC patients at any stage and line of therapy across 33 US sites have been enrolled in the prospective observational study (NCT03289780) that assesses subject sera by the proteomic HIC test (HIC-Hot or HIC-Cold) prior to treatment initiation. An interim analysis was performed after 12-18 months follow-up with the first 2,000 enrolled subjects. The correlation of various factors, including PD-L1 expression, age, histology, PS, smoking history, gender and the HIC result, with OS of subjects receiving ICI alone (ICI, n=86) or in combination with platinum-doublet chemotherapy (ICI+PD, n=98) was assessed.

      Results

      In a real-world clinical setting, OS of subjects with newly diagnosed aNSCLC did not differ significantly between ICI and ICI+PD (median OS (mOS): 9.4 vs. 12.5 months, hazard ratio 0.80 [95% confidence interval: 0.54–1.19], P-value=0.28). Survival analysis for subjects receiving ICI indicated that HIC-Hot, better PS and younger age, but not high PD-L1 expression (either 50% or 90% cutoff) were significantly associated with longer OS according to univariate analyses (see table). When adjusted for covariates in a multi-variate analysis, HIC and age remained significant predictors of OS (p=0.0006 and p=0.005), while PS did not (p=0.40). For patients receiving ICI+PD, only high PD-L1 expression was significantly associated with increased OS. While HIC individually trended towards significance, its inclusion in a multi-variate analysis of gender, smoking history (ever vs. never) and PD-L1 expression (<50% vs. ≥50%) did not improve the fit, indicating that HIC is not independently associated with OS in subjects receiving ICI+PD (p=0.27).

      Conclusion

      The HIC test provides clinically meaningful information in addition to currently utilized clinical factors to potentially help guide immunotherapy treatment decisions for patients with newly diagnosed aNSCLC. HIC stratified survival for patients receiving ICI but not ICI+PD, suggesting that patients classified HIC-Cold may benefit from addition of chemotherapy to ICI.

      Introduction

      Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for approximately 15% of lung cancers. SCLC is usually sensitive to established first-line therapies, but many patients relapse and develop resistance to platinum-based first-line treatment. Currently, the topoisomerase 1 inhibitor topotecan is the only approved second-line therapy for SCLC in the USA and Europe. Liposomal irinotecan is an intravenous formulation that encapsulates the topoisomerase 1 inhibitor irinotecan in a lipid-bilayer vesicle, leading to prolonged circulation. The safety, tolerability and efficacy of liposomal irinotecan monotherapy in patients with SCLC who progressed with platinum-based first-line therapy is being evaluated in RESILIENT (NCT03088813), a two-part phase 2/3 study. Preliminary data from the dose-ranging part of the study (part 1) indicated that liposomal irinotecan 70 mg/m2 (free base equivalent) administered every 2 weeks was well tolerated and had promising antitumour activity.1 Here, we present the design of RESILIENT part 2, which will assess the efficacy and safety of liposomal irinotecan versus topotecan in the same patient population.

      Methods

      RESILIENT part 2 is a phase 3, open-label study with a planned sample size of 450. Participants are randomized 1:1 to intravenous liposomal irinotecan or intravenous topotecan. Liposomal irinotecan is administered at 70 mg/m2 every 2 weeks and topotecan is administered at 1.5 mg/m2 for 5 consecutive days every 3 weeks. A total of 254 patients have been randomized and received treatment to date (as of August 8, 2020). Tumour assessments are performed using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 and the Response Assessment in Neuro-oncology criteria for CNS lesions. Improvements in symptoms are measured using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 and the European Organization for Ressearch and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Lung Cancer 13. Safety assessments include monitoring for adverse events. Overall survival is the primary endpoint of the study. Progression-free survival, objective response rate and proportion of patients reporting symptom improvement are secondary endpoints. Participants will continue study treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or study withdrawal. Participants will be followed for survival until death or study end, which is when all patients have died, withdrawn consent or are lost to follow-up.
