      Background:
      Advanced NSCLC pts with Zubrod PS2 are often excluded from clinical trials and platinum-based therapy. In SWOG 0341, erlotinib in PS 2 pts yielded progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of 2.1 and 5 months respectively. In a trial of erlotinib versus carboplatin/paclitaxel in PS2 pts (Lilenbaum, JCO 2008), PFS for erlotinib and chemotherapy were 1.9 and 3.5 months, respectively. Early reports suggested a potential role for serum proteomics in predicting erlotinib benefit beyond that of EGFR mutational status. We therefore conducted a prospective trial of erlotinib +/- chemotherapy in NSCLC pts with PS2 enriched by serum proteomics (Veristrat assay).

      Methods:
      Metastatic NSCLC pts with PS2, acceptable end-organ function, and “good” classification by serum proteomics were randomized to either Arm A (erlotinib 150 mg orally QD) or Arm B (erlotinib 150 mg orally QD on days 2-16 plus carboplatin AUC 5 IV day 1 and paclitaxel 200 mg/m2 IV day 1 x 4 cycles, followed by erlotinib 150 mg orally QD). Cycle length was 3 weeks. Arm B agents were “pharmacodynamically separated” to mitigate potential antagonism. The arm with superior observed median PFS would be selected for further evaluation, but only if ≥ 3 months. A sample size of 98 pts was based on a variety of assumed PFS probabilities for each arm. The trial was prematurely closed after the FDA determined midway through accrual that an IDE application was required for the proteomics assay; however SWOG had limited resources available for such filing.

      Results:
      Of 156 pts screened, 83 (59%) were classified as “good” by serum proteomics. 59 of 83 pts (60%) met trial eligibility and were randomized. Treatment-related grade 4 adverse events were seen in 2 pts in Arm A (thrombosis, hypomagnesemia) and 5 pts in Arm B (neutropenia -5, febrile neutropenia-1, leukopenia -1), with no treatment related deaths. Figure 1



      Conclusion:
      In Zubrod PS2 pts with advanced NSCLC and “good” classification by serum preoteomics, pharmacodynamically-separated erlotinib plus chemotherapy had better observed median PFS/OS versus erlotinib alone and surpassed the protocol-specified benchmark of PFS >= 3 months required for further study. Updated data will be presented.
