FP10.04 - RESILIENT Part 1: Safety and Efficacy of Second-Line Liposomal Irinotecan in Patients with Small Cell Lung Cancer (ID 3657)
00:00 - 00:00 | Author(s): David R. Spigel
- Abstract
- Presentation
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.

P48.14 - RESILIENT Part 2: A phase 3 Study of Liposomal Irinotecan in Patients with Small-Cell Lung Cancer in the Second-Line Setting (ID 3485)
00:00 - 00:00 | Author(s): David R. Spigel
- Abstract
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.

P77.04 - PROPEL: A Phase 1/2 Trial of Bempegaldesleukin (NKTR-214) Plus Pembrolizumab in Lung Cancer and other Advanced Solid Tumors (ID 1548)
00:00 - 00:00 | Presenting Author(s): David R. Spigel
- Abstract
Introduction
Checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs), are now part of standard treatment in many advanced solid tumors, including metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, novel, more effective CPI combinations are needed to broaden, deepen, and prolong responses, especially for patients with poor prognostic features or negative predictive clinical factors for CPI benefit, including programmed death-ligand 1-negative (PD-L1[-]) status. Bempegaldesleukin (BEMPEG; NKTR-214) is a first-in-class CD122-preferential interleukin-2 pathway agonist that directly activates and expands effector T cells and natural killer cells over immunosuppressive regulatory T cells. BEMPEG plus CPI combination has demonstrated promising efficacy and can convert PD-L1(-) tumors to PD-L1(+) in patients with various solid tumors.(1,2) Given the early efficacy data and favorable safety profile of BEMPEG plus nivolumab, PROPEL will evaluate the clinical benefit, safety and tolerability of BEMPEG combined with another CPI, pembrolizumab (PEMBRO). Here, we present the updated methodology and protocol for the enrolling PROPEL study.(3)
Methods
This phase 1/2 multinational trial evaluates BEMPEG plus PEMBRO in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. During dose escalation (US only), ~40 patients with various advanced solid tumors (first- and second-line melanoma, NSCLC, urothelial carcinoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma; regardless of PD-L1 status) will be treated with escalating doses of BEMPEG plus PEMBRO according to a 3+3 or step-up design. During dose expansion (global), ~58 patients with previously untreated advanced or metastatic NSCLC will be enrolled, and stratified based on PD-L1 status (<1%, 1-49%, and >50% staining on tumor cells by immunohistochemistry [for France only, patients with PD-L1 ≤49% will be excluded]). The primary objectives of the dose escalation are to evaluate safety and tolerability and determine the maximum tolerated dose/recommended phase 2 dose for BEMPEG in combination with PEMBRO. The primary objective of the dose expansion is objective response rate (by RECIST 1.1) in first-line metastatic NSCLC. Enrollment is ongoing (NCT03138889).
