    • Abstract

    Background
    BRCA1 serves as a differential modulator of chemosensitivity to docetaxel (doc) and cisplatin (cis). RAP80 targets the BRCA1-BARD1 E3 ligase at double-strand breaks. A Spanish Lung Cancer Group (SLCG) phase II customized chemotherapy trial (NCT00883480) indicated that RAP80 and BRCA1 jointly influenced outcome in NSCLC p treated with cis- or doc-based chemotherapy. Based on these findings, the SLCG initiated a randomized phase III trial (NCT00617656/GECP-BREC), and we have performed a parallel phase II trial comparing non-customized cis/doc with customized therapy in metastatic NSCLC p in China.

    Methods
    Since October 2010, 104 p have been randomized 1:3 to control and three experimental arms. p in the control arm receive cis/doc; p in the experimental arm receive treatment according to their BRCA1 and RAP80 levels: p with low RAP80, regardless of BRCA1 levels, cis/gemcitabine (gem); p with intermediate/high RAP80 and low/intermediate BRCA1, cis/doc; p with intermediate/high RAP80 and high BRCA1, doc alone. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS).

    Results
    PFS was 4.15 months (m) in the control and 3.59 m in the experimental arm (P=0.68). Overall survival (OS) was 10.82 m in the control and 11.74 m in the experimental arm (P=0.68). Response rate (RR) was 23.3% in the control and 32.4% in the experimental arm (P=0.48). In ancillary analyses of p with low, intermediate and high BRCA1 levels, PFS in the control arm was 2.66, 4.15 m and 7.5 m, respectively, while PFS in the experimental arm was 10.66 m, 3.45 m and 3.06 m, respectively. In the multivariate analysis including PS, treatment arm, BRCA1, RAP80, histology and smoking status, only ex-smokers were associated with an increased risk of progression (HR, 1.906; P=0.029).

    Conclusion
    Customized chemotherapy based on BRCA1/RAP80 expression does not improve PFS. The predictive value of BRCA1 alone seems to be stronger than that of BRCA1/RAP80 combined.
