Background
This single-arm multicenter Phase II study investigated the efficacy and safety of PEM+CIS induction chemotherapy (CT) followed by full-dose PEM+CIS with concurrent radiotherapy (RT) in patients with LA NS-NSCLC. The 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate (primary endpoint) was 51.3% (ESMO 2013). Here, we report the safety data for induction CT and concurrent CT+RT.Methods
Patients with unresectable Stage IIIA/IIIB NS-NSCLC (AJCC Version 6), ECOG-PS 0-1 and forced expiratory volume (FEV) >50% of predicted normal FEV received 2 cycles of PEM 500mg/m[2] + CIS 75mg/m[2] on Day 1, every 21 days. Patients who did not progress, with no residual neurological toxicity >Grade (G)2, ECOG-PS 0-1 and lung V20<35% were candidates to receive 2 cycles of the same full-dose PEM+CIS regimen with concurrent thoracic RT of 2Gy/fraction, 5d/week for 7wks (66Gy total). All patients received vitamin supplementation/dexamethasone prophylaxis as per PEM-label.Results
90 patients were enrolled in 4 European countries, 75 (83.3%) completed induction CT and started concurrent CT+RT. Characteristics of 90/75 patients starting induction/concurrent therapy: median age 61/62yrs, male 57%/53%, ECOG-PS 0 66%/65%, mean(SD) FEV 2.3(0.62)/2.3(0.59)L, adenocarcinoma 90%/92%, Stage IIIA 36%/37%. 63 of 75 patients starting concurrent CT+RT (84.0%) received all 4 CT cycles and full dose RT. Median PEM+CIS dose intensities were 90-92% during induction and >97% during concurrent CT+RT, median RT dose was 66Gy (only 6 patients <60Gy). One patient died from study-drug-related toxicity (enteritis) during Cycle 4. Four patients discontinued due to non-fatal drug- or radiation-related adverse events (AEs), 1 on induction CT (renal failure), 3 on concurrent CT+RT (hypoacusis, 2 patients with radiation esophagitis). During induction/concurrent therapy, 8 of 90 patients (8.9%)/12 of 75 patients (16.0%) had ≥1 CT dose delay due to AEs, mainly neutropenia (n=5/6). 2/6 patients (2.2%/8.0%) required CT dose reductions. 13 of 75 patients (17.3%) experienced AEs requiring interruption of radiation, mainly radiation esophagitis (9.3%). Common G1-4 toxicities are presented in the table. 41.3% of patients reported ≥1 G3/4 toxicity during concurrent CT+RT, mainly esophagitis (12.0%), neutropenia (10.7%) and leukopenia (9.3%). G3 mucositis, G3 dysphagia and G3 acute pneumonitis were each reported by 1 patient (1.3%); 6 patients (8.0%) required blood-cell transfusions. Figure 1Conclusion
PEM+CIS induction CT followed by full-dose PEM+CIS with concurrent thoracic RT was well tolerated in this study. Incidences of both G3/4 and low-grade toxicities were low, not only during PEM+CIS induction CT, but also during the subsequent 2 cycles of full-dose PEM+CIS CT with concurrent thoracic RT.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

O03.02 - Randomized Phase-3 trial (INSPIRE) of Necitumumab plus Cisplatin-Pemetrexed versus Cisplatin-Pemetrexed Alone as First-Line Therapy in Stage IV Non-Squamous NSCLC (ID 2337)
10:40 - 10:50 | Author(s): V. Soldatenkova
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Necitumumab is a human IgG1 anti-EGFR1 monoclonal antibody that competes for the binding of natural ligands to this receptor and prevents receptor activation. EGFR1 is detectable in approximately 85% of advanced NSCLC tumors. This phase 3 study investigated necitumumab in combination with first-line chemotherapy in advanced non-squamous NSCLC.Methods
Patients with histologically or cytologically proven stage IV non-squamous NSCLC were randomized 1:1 to either Arm A: cisplatin 75mg/m[2] i.v.-pemetrexed 500mg/m[2] i.v. (Cis + PEM) on Day 1+ necitumumab 800mg i.v. on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle or Arm B: Cis+PEM alone. Patients received these regimens for up to six cycles. For patients in Arm A with at least stable disease, necitumumab continued until PD or intolerable toxicity. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), safety, and EGFR protein expression level by immunohistochemistry (H-score) utilizing archived tumor tissue based on a mandatory tissue collection. The planned sample size of this study was 947 patients (assuming a hazard ratio [HR] of 0.8 would allow 85% power at 2-sided alpha level of 0.05). After 633 patients, enrollment was stopped (after Feb 2011) following an Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) recommendation.Results
Between Nov 2009 and Feb 2011 633 patients were randomized (315 Arm A; 318 Arm B). Baseline characteristics were balanced between the arms; 67.0% were male and 33.0% female; ECOG-PS 0/1 94.2 % and PS 2 5.7 %. No difference between treatment arms was observed for OS (median 11.3 vs 11.5 months; HR 1.01 95%-CI [0.84, 1.21]), PFS (median 5.6 vs 5.6 months, HR 0.96 95%-CI [0.80, 1.16]) and ORR (31.1 vs 32.1%; Odds ratio 0.96 95%-CI [0.68, 1.34]). The exploratory analysis in 490 patients assessable for H-score revealed no association between H-score and differences in efficacy between treatment arms (H-score < 200: mOS 8.97 vs 9.72 months, HR 1.07, mPFS 4.90 vs 4.76 months, HR 0.95, ORR 27.1 vs 26.0%; H-score ≥ 200: mOS 15.01 vs 13.34 months, HR 1.03, mPFS 5.59 vs 5.62 months, HR 0.94, ORR 39.6 vs 39.4%). Grade ≥ 3 treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) occurring more frequently in Arm A included skin or subcutaneous disorders (14.1 vs 0.3%), thromboembolic events (9.5 vs 6.4%), hypomagnesaemia (7.6 vs 2.2%), asthenia (6.9 vs 1.9%), vomiting (6.6 vs 3.2%), dyspnea (5.3 vs 2.6%) and diarrhea (4.3 vs 2.2%). The frequency of study drug related deaths was 4.9% and 2.9% in Arms A and B, respectively.Conclusion
In this study, the addition of necitumumab did not improve the efficacy outcome over cisplatin plus pemetrexed alone in advanced non-squamous-NSCLC. The EGFR H-score did not seem to predict the efficacy outcomes of necitumumab in combination with cisplatin plus pemetrexed. The addition of necitumumab resulted in a higher frequency of grade ≥ 3 AE (skin reaction, GI, asthenia and other) and an imbalance of grade ≥ 3 thromboembolic events. Further biomarker studies are ongoing.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

P2.10-004 - Addition of bevacuzimab (BEV) to pemetrexed (PEM) plus cisplatin (CIS) induction and PEM maintenance therapy in 1st line setting for treatment of advanced nonsquamous non small cell lung cancer (NS-NSCLC) - final results and safety update from a phase 2 study (ID 234)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): V. Soldatenkova
- Abstract
Background
1st line PEM+CIS induction chemotherapy (CT) followed by PEM maintenance and 1st line BEV-based CT followed by BEV maintenance offer clinical benefit (progression-free and overall survival; PFS and OS) in NS-NSCLC. This study explored efficacy and safety of 1st line induction PEM+CIS+BEV followed by maintenance PEM+BEV.Methods
Patients with advanced NS-NSCLC and ECOG performance status (PS) 0-1 were planned to receive 4 cycles PEM 500 mg/m[2], CIS 75 mg/m[2], BEV 7.5 mg/kg, given every 3 weeks. In the absence of progressive disease (PD) and in the case of ECOG PS 0-1, patients could continue on PEM+BEV until PD or unacceptable toxicity. All patients received vitamin supplementation as per PEM label. Primary endpoint was PFS; secondary endpoints included OS, response rate and toxicity. PFS without Grade (G)4 toxicity was additionally assessed.Results
109 patients were enrolled in 5 countries. Characteristics: median age 61 years, males/females 59/41%, ECOG PS 0/1 54/46%, stage IIIB/IV 9/91%, adenocarcinoma 91%. 72 patients (66%) received maintenance CT. Overall median (maximum) number of cycles were 8(34) for PEM+BEV and 4(4) for CIS. Median PFS was 6.9 months (90% CI 5.7, 8.3). Table 1 summarizes efficacy data; Table 2 presents G1-4 adverse event (AE) data, including AEs of special interest regarding BEV. 2 patients died from study-drug related toxicity (GI hemorrhage, pneumonia aspiration; during induction CT). Figure 1 Figure 2Conclusion
In this study of PEM+CIS+BEV induction CT followed by PEM+BEV maintenance, median PFS was 6.9 months. The addition of BEV to PEM-CIS induction and PEM maintenance was associated with acceptable and expected toxicities. Main G3/4 toxicities included neutropenia and fatigue, hypertension was less common.
